TREATMENT OF THE DOG IN SICKNESS. 137 



about half an inch in length and of pinkish color. It is apt to 

 cause partial paralysis in puppies, which disappears after the worms 

 are expelled. 



More puppies and grown dogs die each year from worms than 

 from all diseases co)nbi?ied. Their presence is generally manifested 

 by the coat being dry and staring, dull and devoid of gloss, dis- 

 turbed sleep very often resulting in fits, appetite capricious, dis- 

 tention of the stomach, breath generally offensive, nose hot and 

 dry, loss of flesh, diarrhea accompanied by mucous discharge, and 

 general irritableness. From an experience of ten years with Glover's 

 Vermifuge for all kifids of worms, I have never found anything to 

 €qual it, especially for puppies., however delicate. Having made it 

 always a point to give my puppies a couple of doses of vermifuge 

 at two and six months of age, whether they show evidences of 

 having worms or not, I have rarely had any further trouble with 

 these pests.
