Dose: For horses and cattle, 1 teaspoonful three times a day; sheep and pigs, one-half teaspoonful. SUGAR OF LEAD This is frequently called acetate of lead. It is seldom used internally, but quite generally externally for healing washes, particularly for the eye. SWEET SPIRITS OF NITER This sweet-tasting and smelling preparation is obtained from alcohol, and is in the form of a clear liquid. It acts upon the kidneys and skin and is commonly given in the drinking water of animals. It is used in combination with other medicines for colic and indigestion. It thus acts upon the bowels and stomach and relieves pain and dissipates the gases. In giving to animals mix in a pint of lukewarm water and give as a drench. Dose: For horses and cattle, 2 to 4 tablespoonfuls; for sheep and pigs, 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls. SPIRITS OF TURPENTINE This is the ordinary turpentine known by all. It is excellent in cases of acute indigestion and colic, and is destructive to bots and the long round worms in horses. When used externally it is as a liniment. When used internally a small quantity is given with raw linseed oil. Dose: For horses and cattle, 4 tablespoonfuls; for sheep and pigs, 1 tablespoonful. SALTS The two common salts used for live stock are Epsom and Glauber. Epsom salts are most frequently used, the chief action being as a physic. Aloes take the places of salts for horses, as it is believed these are much better than the mineral salts. In giving salts to cattle, the drench is most satisfactory. Dose: Use 1 quart of warm water in which place 1 tablespoonful of ginger and 1 tablespoonful of common soda. To this add 1 pint to 1½ pints of salts and dissolve by shaking or stirring. For sheep and pigs, one-quarter of this amount is sufficient. SULPHUR This yellow powder is well known and is a great medicine when given internally. It acts on the blood and purifies it. It is excellent also for killing parasites or germs in the skin, hence it is good for all diseases. When used internally it is best to combine with gentian root. Give once a day for a short period. Dose: For horses and cattle, 1 tablespoonful; sheep and pigs, 1 teaspoonful.
