Fouadin for Heart Worms in Dogs.--Dog owners and veterinarians now have available an effective means of combating dog heart worm, a parasite that has spread rapidly in recent years from the South to the Atlantic Coast States. DRS. WRIGHT and UNDE;R-WOOD of the Bureau of Animal Industry, in co6peration with the Sportsmen's Gun-Dog Club of Philadelphia, have established that Fouadin, a complex antimony compound, will kill the worms and the larvm.

Chemically, Fouadin is sodium-antimony-III-bis-pyrocatechindisulphonate of sodium. A suitable course of treatment with this drug, the investigators announce, will usually destroy some or all of the adult worms in the heart and pulmonary, artery, and will free the blood stream of larvm, thus preventing the infested dog from acting further as a spreader of the parasite to other dogs.
