COAL-TAE CEEOSOTE AND THYMOL. 



If, in addition to the stomach worms, the 

 animals were sufferi'ng from severe infection of 

 bowel worms, such as the hook worms, better 

 results were obtained in the treatment when 

 powdered thymol was added to the creosote. 

 In cases of this kind, the creosote solution is 

 prepared, as already directed, and 30 to 80 or 

 even 100 grains of thymol added to each dose 

 after it has been measured. 



Thymol is expensive, the price varying in 

 different parts of the country. It may be pur- 

 chased by the ounce, but it is considerably 

 cheaper if purchased by the pound. Avoid 

 using thymol which has become yellowish or 

 reddish and which has run together in the bot- 

 tle so as to form a solid mass. Powder the 

 crystals and have the druggist measure 30 

 grains. Give 30 grains to a lamb, about 50 

 grains to a yearling, and 70 to 80 or 100 grains 

 to older shfeep, according to size. 



In experiments I have had excellent results 

 with a single dose of the creosote and thymol 

 mixture. If necessary, however, the dose could 

 be repeated after a week. 



I have used bluestone on several occasions 

 and, although it proved more or less successful, 

 it was not so satisfactory as creosote or as gaso- 

 line.
