HYDATID TABLETS FOR DOGS.
In an article, “ Prevention of Hydatid Disease in Man and Animals,” published in the Journal for October last, and since reprinted as Bulletin No. 147, reference is made to arecoline bromide as a good agent for expelling the hydatid tapeworms from the intestines of dogs which have eaten infected offal. Hitherto there has been some difficulty in obtaining supplies of the arecoline bromide, but Messrs. Kempthorne, Prosser, and Co.'s New Zealand Drug Co., Ltd., are now placing this drug on the market in tabloid form, in bottles containing twenty doses, at a cost of 6s. 6d. One treatment with arecoline should be sufficient, but dosing again two weeks later is recommended in order to expel any further tapeworms which had entered about the time of first dosing and had not been acted upon. After a dog is dosed with the vermifuge medicine it should be chained up for two days, and its faeces burnt in a fire, preferably lit on the contaminated ground.
