220 THE AMERICAN HUNTING DOG 



stone stock, and she is going to be a very fine 

 hunter. 



I am particularly afraid of distemper on ac 

 count of a little interbreeding, although my pup 

 is in excellent condition and strong. But when 

 that disease grips them, all is up. 



A. C. STEVENS. 



Ans. The best preventive that we know for 

 distemper will be to send to the Pasteur Labora 

 tories, 366 W. llth St., N. Y. C., for a tube of 

 fresh anti-distemper serum and a hypodermic 

 needle. 



Two cubic centimetres of this serum are inject 

 ed into each hind leg of your pup between the 

 thighs, and will immunise him from two to four 

 months. 



The period when distemper seems to be rife in 

 the South is January, February and March, and 

 we should certainly advise immunising him some 

 time in December. 



DISINFECTING FOR DISTEMPER 



Please advise best disinfectant for use in dog 

 house and lot where dog had distemper. 

 How soon will it be safe to put another dog in 



the pen!
