of indifference. The medicine must be given in small doses 
three or four times a day, without, however, carrying it to 
purging. As soon as that supervenes, the dose must be 
decreased, and stopped altogether for a time, if the purging 
is violent. The dose is from five to ten centigrammes, to 
be made up in pills, given from two to four times a day. 
This is to be continued for a few days, if purging does not 
set in; if, on the other hand, purging occurs, the dose must 
be reduced or suspended altogether, until it has stopped. 
“<The administration of the calomel in the form of pills 
is preferable, as the agent is insoluble in water, and the 
suspension in other liquids is at best unsatisfactory and 
uncertain ; enemas slightly charged with laudanum are to 
be given in accordance with the indications. If the dog is 
able to eat, he is to be allowed food, avoiding all salted 
substances. After four or five days of the administration 
of the medicine, an abundant salivation sets in, but I 
have not had this followed by inflammation of the stomach 
or gangrene of the mouth; in some cases, however, there is 
loosening of the teeth ; this was the case particularly with 
a young terrier, which had takefi the calomel for five days, 
in doses of five centigrammes three times a day. The 
animal lost five teeth, but recovered of the jaundice. The 
medicine may be given for the first four days at the rate of 
three pills a day, two on the fifth day, afterwards reduced 
to one, and discontinued altogether when the state of the 
patient admits of it. -
