Also give a teaspoonful of syrup of buckthorn 

 once a week. 



PUMPKIN SEEDS FOR WORMS 



Read some time ago an article stating a good 

 treatment to give a dog having worms. 



Want to know how often to give him pumpkin 

 seeds, and how much at a meal. 



HOMEE EAMSDELL. 



Ans. For a mild case of worms and to keep 

 them down, would advise syrup of buckthorn once 

 a week, a teaspoonful. For a bad case of tape 

 worm get five cents' worth of pumpkin seeds, 

 boil and divide in two parts. Put one on feed 

 and follow in three days with the other in case 

 worms are not cleared. 



ARECA NUT 



Please advise me what to do for my Scotch col 

 lie puppy, just six weeks old. About two weeks 

 ago she had worms and I gave her some areca nut. 

 Perhaps I gave her too much, as she is now par 

 alysed; that is, she is unable to walk and cannot 

 stand up on all four feet at the same time. She 

 eats well and has been in good spirits during the 

 last few days. Can she be cured, and if so, what 

 treatment is advisable? D. R. J.
