EXTRACTING A BONE FROM A DOG'S THROAT. 



ear by tying a cloth around the head for fifteen or twenty minutes, so 

 that the medicine cannot run out and by that time it will all be ab- 

 sorbed. 



Sometimes a dog will get a bone or other obstruction in his throat 

 and choke. Call for a broom handle and while keeping the dog on his 

 feet by holding him firmly between your legs, hold his mouth wide 

 open by pushing the handle well back across the dog's mouth. Now 

 reach over the handle and pull the bone out. But never try to push 

 the obstruction down. You can clean or even pull his teeth the same 

 way. 



If a dog refuses to take his medicine without fighting, give it to 

 him in this way, whether it be pill or liquid. 



It is easy to set the broken limb of a dog. I have set many a one. 

 Once I had a dog that in jumping over a fence, fell into a ditch on 

 the other side. I was many miles from home and all alone, but I set 

 the limb right then and there.
