Thymol. This is probably the best agent for the treatment of 

 uncinaria (hookworms). It is described in detail in another place 

 p. 458. It should be given in daily doses of 10 — 30 grains, aver- 

 age for the dog, 10 grains. The animal undergoing treatment 

 should be closely observed and upon the appearance of any unde- 

 sirable symptoms the drug should be withdrawn. Some recommend 

 a good dose, one day each week, preceded and followed by a purga- 

 tive. 



Betanaphthol has given good success in some cases. It should 

 be given the same as thymol but in half the doses. It is dangerous 

 for dogs and cats.
