should be repeated in the course of a day or two, 

 the doses being graduated as before. 



If after his eighth week a puppy had been given No. i 

 and the desired effect had not been attained — that is, no 

 worms had appeared in his discharges and symptoms of 

 them still existed at the end of the second day after this

 th.& first dose, one or two teaspoonfuls of castor oil should 

 be given. 



If under the use of Nos. i and 2 — with an interval of 

 two days between each as advised — worms have not

These doses of mixtures Nos. i and 2 are appropriate 

 for all puppies except small breeds and toys — see page 

 333. For the former they should be reduced one-half;
