animal is affected with efforts of involuntary deglutition; a 

 clicking noise is heard, and continues for some time, which is 

 referrible to the pharynx, so that to repeat the remedy further 

 might be productive of dangerous consequences to the horse. 

 The Aconite, then, should be well diluted, and frequently re- 

 peated, say at least three or four time a day. 



Turpentine.— T-arpentine is an old vermifuge. To large- 

 sized horses 2 ounces by measure may be given for a dose. It 

 is best to administer the remedy each time in a pint of thin 

 gruel. It would not be safe to repeat the dose more than twice 

 a day ; and even then its effects upon the kidneys should be 

 watched with attention, and if it produces frequent attempts to 

 nrinate, attended either with copious or scanty emision of urine, 

 cease to give more Turpentine, and allow the aliimal an 

 abundance of oatmeal or linseed gruel to drink. Should medi- 

 cine be necessary to further neutralise the turpentine, recourse 

 may be had to Camphor. 



Savin. — Savin is a vermifuge which I have not tried, but 

 which has been much recommended. 



Boch Salt. — Salt is stated to be a preventative of worms. 

 It is a commendable practice to allow horses salt. Place a 

 lump of Eock Salt in one corner of the hay rack, and allow 

 your horses to lick it when they choose.
