TREATMENT FOR ROTS.

The following treatment has been tested on a large rumber of animals, and proved s>’°':'’ < ’sful ) by the United States Department of Agriculture. It is said that it will remove bols within 24 to 48 hours. The day preceding the treatment a small amount of hay and a moderate amount of oats are given in the morning ; in the evening food is withheld, and a purgative given—Barbadoes aloes, ioz., or raw linseed oil x pint. The day ot the treatment, at 6 o’clock in the morning, give 3 drachms of carbou bisulphide in gelatine capsule ; at 7 o’clock, repeat the dose in the same manner, and at 8 o’clock give the third and last dose, making in all 9 drachms of carbon bisulphide in three gelatine capsules. The above treatment is for the adult hoise. For a yearling colt, half the quantity of carbou bisulphide used for a mature horse will give the desired results. If properly administered, the gelatine capsule reaches the stomach intact, but soon dissolves, and the carbou bisulphide rapidly evaporates, suffocating all bot larvae, and other parasites with which it comes in contact, but not injuring the horse. Worms are quite oiten expelled as well.
