If calomel be given in from two to fourdrachm doses, on a fasting stomach of twelve hours, then fast fromten to twelve hours afterward, after which give small doses of aloes. BOTS. 513 or saline purges, it will destroy nearly all traces of worms or para-sites in the stomach and intestines, even clearing out bots. Thebest general treatment advised is santonine, areca nut, and malefern. Of santonine, better known as worm-seed, the dose is fromone to four drachms, according to the size and temperament of thehorse. For the small, nervous, well-bred horse, the smallest dosewould be sufficient; while for a large, coarse-grained cart-horse thelarger dose of four drachms will be necessary. Of the same quanti-ties of powdered areca nut and male fern, about one ounce is theaverage dose. All vermifuge medicine should be taken while fast-ing, as better results will thereby be obtained ; let the horse fast
