A[ost stockmen are familiar with the use of a hypodermic syringe, 
having used it in vaccinating cattle for blackleg. A 4-dram, all metal 
syringe will be the most convenient, and can be secured at any instru¬ 
ment house. The drugs can be secured at drug stores in tablet form, 
and after being dissolved in water, are ready for immediate use. The 
amount of each drug indicated in the formula is intended to be given 
at one dose for an animal weighing 500 or 600 i>ounds. One-half 
ounce of boiled water should be used to dissolve the tablets and two 
or three doses can be carried along with the syringe, for immediate 
use. Dr. Marsh expresses his confidence in the above treatment in 
the following words: “If they (stockmen) are willing to try this 
remedy, they can without doubt save the lives of most of the animals 
poisoned during drives or round-ups.”
