Dose, horses, 1 ounce ; cattle, 2 ounces ; sheep and pigs, J ouncot, 

 Mr. Dun says such a dose, with half a teaspoonful or a teaspoonfal of 

 laudanum, diluted with water, is one of the most effectual anti-spas- 

 modics and nerve soothers he has ever used. Nos. 92, 139, 364. 



Cinchona {Peruvian Baric, Quinine). — As a tonic and for 

 use in fevers, no medicine equals the aciive principles of Peruvian 

 bark. Unfortunately, quinine is too dear for veterinary practice. 

 Cheaper and very efficient preparations are cinchonia and cinchonidia ; 

 or the powdered bark itself may be used. Dose of quinine, horses and 

 cattle, 20 to 40 grains ; pigs and sheep, 10 grains of powdered bark j 

 half an ounce to horses. They are used in exhaustion and debility, in 

 scrofula, rheumatism, diabetes, sheep's rot, influenza, etc. Nos. 88, 

 146, 178, 194, 203, 335, 



Cod"SiV0r OiL — Dose 4 to 8 oz. An excellent tonic; valuable 

 in exhausting diseases, especially in young animals. Nos. 132, 202. 



CopSlVSl. — Dose, as diuretic, J oz. to 1 oz. ; as an expectorant iu 

 coughs, 1 or 2 oz. No. 209. 



Coppor SulphBte {Blue Vitriol, Blue Stone, Vitriol of Cop- 

 'per). — Dose, horses and cattle, 1 to 2 drachms; sheep and pigs, 10 to 

 20 grains. A tonic and astringent ; used solid as a mild caustic ; in 

 large doses poisonous. Copper sulphate is much used in excessive 

 watery or bloody discharges from the bowels. In glanders and exhaust- 

 ing diarrheas, it is one of the best remedies. As a stimulant and caustic, 

 it is used on inflamed eyelids, fistulous and slow healing wounds, foot 

 rot in sheep, and the like. Copper siibacctate, or verdigris, is 

 sometimes used like the sulphate, but is a more irritant poison, and 

 might as well be dropped. Nos. 118, 134, 178, 180, 213, 215, 310.
