clicking noise is lieard, and continues for some time, which is 

 referrible to the pharynx, so that to repeat the remedy further 

 might be productive of dangerous consequences to the horse. 

 The Aconite, then, should be well diluted, and frequently re- 

 peated, say at least three or four times a day. 



Turpentine. — Turpentine is an old vermifuge. To large- 

 sized horses 2 ounces by measure may be given for a dose. It 

 is bsst to administer the remedy each time in a pint of thin 

 gruel. It would not be safe to repeat the dose more than twice 

 a day ; and even then its effects upon the kidneys should be 

 watched with attention, and if it produces frequent attempts 

 to urinate, attended either with copious or scanty emission of 

 urine, cease to give more Turpentine, and allow the animal an 

 abundance of oat meal or linseed gruel to drink. Should medi- 

 cine be necessary to further neutralise the Turpentine, recourse 

 may be had to Camphor. 



Satin. — Savin is a vermifuge which I have not tried, but 

 which has been much recommended. 



EocK Salt. — Salt is stated to be a preventative of worms. 

 It is a commendable practice to allow horses salt. Place a 

 lump of Bock Salt in one corner of the hay rack, and allow 

 your horses to lick it when they choose.
