fern, one half ounce, mixed witlt4 ounces of castor 

 oil and 8 ounces of pure raw linseed oil, with half a 

 pint of new milk, and given after the horse has 

 fasted for about 14 hours. Repeat the dose in a 

 week; then follow with two worm powders, com- 

 mon smoking tobacco, eight ounces; powdered 

 worm seed, 6 ounces; powdered sulphate of iron, 

 4 ounces ; mix with one-half pound each of salt and 

 granulated sugar. Every morning before the horse 

 is fed any other food, place a heaping tablespoon- 

 ful of the powder in four qrarts of wet wheat bran 

 and allow the horse to eat it; continue for ten days 

 and the horse will be practically rid of worms of the 

 larger species. Colts should receive smaller doses 

 in proportion to age. 



The small worms need the worm powder to be 

 given in the wheat bran every morning for fully 

 two weeks. Then follow with an ounce dose of 

 barbadoes aloes and a tablespoonful of ginger 

 given by mixing with about 12 ounces of warm 

 water and a gill of common molasses ; wait a week 

 and repeat the powder treatment and follow with 

 the aloes. In a case of the very small or rectal 

 worms (pin worms) always use rectal injections, a 

 good enema being made by steeping for two hours 

 one pound of quassia chips in a gallon of soft 

 water; strain and add two ounces of common hard 

 soap; use the whole at once, using at about blood 

 temperature after the soap has dissolved. Repeat 

 in three days and continue as long as worms are 

 being brought away by the enemas.
