WORM MEDICINES. 



By this term we are to understand such substances as will 

 expel worms from the intestines of the dog, their action being 

 either poisonous to the worm itself, or so irritating as to cause 

 them to evacuate their position. All ought either to be in them- 

 selves purgative, or to be followed by a medicine of that class, in 

 order to insure the removal of the eggs, as well as the worms 

 themselves. The more detailed directions will be found in the 

 Chapter on Worms. •
