TRAINING AND HEALTH OF DOGS. 201 



FOR A GREEN WOUND. 



Hog's lard, turpentine and beeswax, equal parts; 

 verdigris, one-fourth part. Simmer over a slow fire 

 till they are well mixed, and apply. 



TO REDUCE THE TIME A BITCH IS IN HEAT. 



Give her a little nitre in water, and a dose of calo- 

 mel, four grains or thereabouts, followed by salts or 

 aloes. 



PURGATIVE MEDICINES. 



Salts, one ounce; calomel, five grains; or socotrine 

 aloes, two drachms — for a moderate sized dog.
