boracic acid wash; if the nose is stopped up, 

 then a good steaming from the kettle. While 

 the dog must have plenty of fresh air, be sure 

 to avoid draughts. When the lungs and 

 bronchial tubes are affected, then put flannels 

 wrung out of hot Arabian balsam around neck 

 and chest, and give suitable doses of cod liver 

 oil. If the disease is principally seated in the 

 intestines, then give once a day a teaspoon ful of 

 castor oil, and the dog should be fed with arrow 

 root gruel, made with plenty of good milk, and a 

 very little lean meat (beef, mutton, or chicken), 

 once a day. When the dog is on the high road 

 to recovery be very careful he does not get cold, 

 or pneumonia is almost certain to ensue. Do not 

 forget a thorough fumigation of the kennels, and 

 all utensils, with sulphur.
