cases the weakness increases and the animal is 
unable to stand and soon dies. 
Treatment: This worm is easily removed by 
medicine. I have had good results from the fol- 
lowing: Give half an ounce of the fluid extract of 
Spigelia and senna at a dose every four hours until 
purging takes place, or thirty grains of koosin as 
a pill; one dose of this is usually sufficient. An- 
other good remedy is to beat up two ounces of 
pumpkin seeds into a pulp with sugar and give 
at one dose; this should be followed in four hours 
with a brisk physic, castor oil or epsom salts. San- 
tonine is also useful in from three to five grain 
doses made into a pill. Chenopodie oleum (worm 
seed oil) in from twenty to thirty drops may be 
given in a little syrup, followed in two hours by a 
purge. These medicines should be given on an 
empty stomach. If the animal has become very 
weak the strength should be kept up by stimulants 
such as small doses of whisky and cod-liver oil, or 
whisky and eggs; and if there is fever two to four 
grains of quinine should be given at a dose three 
times a day.
