TEREBINTHTNA — TURPENTINE 303 



ease of the horse is of long standing. Good results often follow its 

 use, although its action cannot be explained satisfactorily. It is 

 usually combined with tincture of the chloride of iron. 



5. Anthelmintic. Especially for round worms of horses, dogs 

 and swine. Also as an intratracheal injection for lung worms of 

 calves and lambs. Not very effective against tape worms. It is 

 usually given in oil. 



6. Antiseptic expectorant. In cases of subacute or chronic bron- 

 chitis with excessive purulent secretionj but it is thought to be in- 

 ferior to some form of terebene. It is often used for its local action 

 upon the respiratory tract in various respiratory diseases. For this 

 purpose it may be added to hot water and the animal allowed or 

 compelled to inhale the vapor (steaming). 



7. Stimulant to genito-urinary tract. In same diseases as men- 

 tioned under the previous drugs. 



8. Phosphorus poisoning. Turpentine on standing is supposed 

 to be ozonized and is therefore useful to oxidize phosphorus. This 

 action is very much in doubt in case of the present commercial tur- 

 pentine. 



Contraindications. Turpentine should not be administered 

 ■when there is nephritis, congestion of the kidneys or acute inflamma- 

 tion of the gastrointestinal tract. 



Administration. It should be administered as an emtdsion, in 

 oil, mucilage, or in capsule.
