close np to the top. Put two cross pieces on the bottom, so that the 

 dog will be up off of the floor; then bore a few holes in the bottom, 

 under the watering can, so that any water spilt from the can will leak 

 out and not wet the bedding. Always put a handle on each end of 

 the box, so that it can be easily handled, and see to it that no draft 

 can go through the box, to avoid the danger of the dog lying in it 

 and so taking cold. In shipping a dog a long distance, put plenty of 

 dog biscuits in the box and always give a light feed before you ship 

 him. 



An offensive breath in either dog or cat is often caused by a bad 

 condition of the kidneys. Procure a small bottle of "Harlem Oil," 

 costing ten cents, from any druggist. For a small cat or dog, give 

 tive drops on a little sugar ; for larger dogs, eight to ten drops. Re- 

 peat once or twice a week. Harlem Oil is also a fine remedy for 

 matterated eyes. 



Directions for Use. — Drop one drop in each eye twice a day, morn- 

 ing and evening. 



INFALLIBLE REMEDY FOR DISTEMPER. 



The following medicine is one which I value very highly and con- 

 sider the chief cause of my wonderful success in keeping my dogs 

 strong and healthy: 



Prescription : 



One quart of raw linseed oil, 



One half pint oil of tar. 



One pound of sulphur. 



Mix well in a jug and use as directed. 



For Distemper. — Rub the medicine well into the dogs' flanks and 

 between his legs and he will lick it off. Do this once a week. If he is 

 a growing dog, give a large spoonful every other day; small dogs and 

 cats in proportion. 



For a Bad Case of Mange. — Rub the oil all over him twice a week. 



For a Bad Cough. — Give a teaspoonful after coughing. 



For Canker oe the Ear. — Drop ten drops in each ear twice a day. 



If the ear is very bad, drop a teaspoonful down it, which can be 

 easily done by laying the dog down on the side opposite the sore ear, 

 raising the flap of the ear and pouring the medicine in. The medi- 

 cine will then run in easily and reach the sore places. Bandage the
