Anthelmintics.
These
are
medicines
given
for
the
purpose
of
expelling
or
destroying
worms.
They
are
cowhage,
scammony,

fern
root,

Cowhage
Cowhage
is
used
to
expel
the
round
worm,
which
it
does
by
wounding
it
with
the
fine
prickles.
Dose
of
the
confection,
for
a
child
three
or
four
years
old,
a
teaspoonful
early,
for
three
mornings,
followed
by
a
dose
of
castor
oil.
(See
par
491.)
The
mechanical
anthelmintics
are
strictly
confined
to
those
agents
which
kill
the
worm
in
the
body
by
piercing
its
cuticle
with
the
sharp
darts
or
spiculae
of
the
cowhage
hairs,
or
the
fine
metallic
points
of
powdered
tin
(pulvis
stanni).
When
these
drops
are
employed,
they
should
be
given
in
honey
or
treacle
for
ten
or
fifteen
days,
and
an
aperient
powder
every
fourth
morning,
to
expel
the
killed
worms.
