Procure one pound of quassia chips. Pour into these three quarts of boiling water. Strain the liquor. Cause the turpentine to blend, by means of yolks of eggs, with so much of the quassia infusion as may be necessary. Add one scruple of powdered camphor to the full drink, and give every morning before allowing any food.
This probably may kill the worms; but as every link of the tænia is a distinct animal of both sexes, and capable of producing itself, the eggs must be numerous. For the destruction of these, nourishing prepared food is essential, such as gruel, scalded oats, etc.; but little or no hay. At the same time a tonic will be of all service. Take
| Liquor arsenicalis | From one to eight drachms. | |
| Muriated tincture of iron | From one and a half to twelve drachms. | |
| Extract of belladonna | From ten grains to two drachms. | |
| Ale or good stout | Half a pint to a quart. | |
| Mix. Give every morning to the animal—strength being proportioned to age—till the coat is glossy. | ||
