Ans. That pup of yours surely has got eczema, 

 and it has progressed so far that your Epsom 

 salts are too mild. Send for a bottle of Kenwyn, 

 Glover's or Boving's coat cure and dope him all 

 over with it. These are the best I know, and I 

 have tried a lot of remedies, for Airedales are 

 very subject to eczema. 



You must change his diet right off. At his age 

 he needs three meals a day. Breakfast, a little 

 oatmeal, a broken-up dog biscuit, some table 

 scraps, and meat broth from his meat kettle 

 poured over the whole works. Lunch, table 

 scraps, pieces of stale bread baked to a golden 

 brown in the oven, and meat broth poured over 

 the whole of it. Supper, table scraps, a dog bis 

 cuit broken up, a chunk of dog meat from the ket 

 tle, and some pieces of stale bread baked. A diet 

 like that will drive away the eczema quick, aided 

 by the coat cure. He should not lose his puppy 

 coat of hair none of my setters do it is one of 

 the effects of eczema.
