Choosing the lowest amount specified
Make into twenty-four pills, and give three daily; choosing the lowest amount specified, or the intermediate quantities, according to the size of the animal.
Often under this treatment the disease will appear to be suddenly cut short. With the action of the purgative, or even before it has acted, all the symptoms will disappear, and nothing remains which seems to say any further treatment is required. I never rest here, for experience has taught me that these appearances are deceptive, and the disorder has a disposition to return. Consequently strict injunctions are given as to diet, and a course of tonics is adopted:
| Disulphate of quinine | One to four scruples. |
| Sulphate of iron | One to four scruples. |
| Extract of gentian | Two to eight drachms. |
| Powdered quassia | A sufficiency. |
