 worms affect the bronchial tubes, due to strongylus micrurus in 

 calves, and strongylus filaria in sheep. The subjects are placed 

 in a loose box and sulphur burned about 6 feet away from them, 

 so that air may dilute the fumes before being inhaled by the 

 animals; let them inhale the fumes for 10, 15 or 20 minutes or 

 longer, unless irritation is too great.
