The one per cent. solution of blue- © stone (sulphate of copper), made by dissolving four ounces of the drug in a pint of hot water and then adding {three gallons of cold water, has given' [splendid results in the destruction of stomach-worms of sheep and lambs and has also proved fairly effective for the tapeworms of these animals.
