232 Treatment of Canine Piroplasmosis 
Judging from previous experience, we consider the presumption 
justified that experiments of this nature, conducted upon dogs, will give 
identical results in cattle. 
In the following experiments both dogs (Irish terriers) were given 
Trypanblau in capsules per os beginning on the day following that on 
which they were inoculated.
