The accompanying small lines give the natural size of the parasite. and rubbing, causing inflammatory efflorescences which look very much like squamous eczema, with partial loss of hair and forma- tion of scabs. The diagnosis is usually easy, as we can see the parasites and their eggs by separating the hair. Therapeutic Treatment. This consists of destroying the parasites and their eggs. For that purpose it is often requisite to clip the animals. The safest and least harmful agents are decoctions of tobacco (5 to 10 per cent.), solutions of creolin

For that purpose it is often requisite to clip the animals. The safest and least harmful agents are decoctions of tobacco (5 to 10 per cent.), solutions of creolin (3 to 6 per cent.), petroleum (pure, or mixed with olive oil), and in small dogs anise-seed oil (1 to 10 per cent, of olive oil). Mer- curial ointment may be rubbed in the neck around the collar, but we must not apply more than a piece the size of a bean. Washing with corrosive sub- limate solution has been tried, but it must be very carefully done, and the animal not allowed to lick the body, as it is very apt to produce mercurial symptoms and salivation. Ixodes Ricinus.
