FRA CTURES — FURNISHED 



Fractures can be detected by the sound of the grating 

 of the edges of the bones when the part affected is moved. 

 These injuries are of four kinds — namely, simple^ that is, 

 when the bone is broken without piercing the skin ; com- 

 pound J when the skin is pierced ; comminuted, when the 

 skin is pierced in more than one place ; and co?np!tcatedy 

 when the surrounding tissues are injured by the fracture. 

 The setting of a fractured limb is quite beyond the powers 

 of most dog-owners, and therefore surgical aid should be 

 at once procured, whilst pending its arrival the injured 

 animal should be made to keep as quiet as possible. The 

 precaution of getting together bandages, cotton -wool, 

 starch, and materials for splints for use later on will save 

 time subsequently. 



French Bulldogs. — The attempts made to popularise 

 this variety of dog in England have not been associated 

 with success, which is not surprising, as the French bulldog 

 is not particularly prepossessing in appearance. 



Frill. — The luxurious growth of hair on the neck and 

 breast of some varieties is known as the frill. 



Frog-face. — A muzzle which turns downwards instead 

 of upwards is thus described. (See Dowfi-facCy Lay 

 Back.) 



Full Mouth, — A puppy is said to have got his full 

 mouth when all his second teeth have been cut. This 

 usually takes place when he is about nine months old. 

 (See Puppies.) 



Furnished. — A dog is said to be well furnished when he 

 is well filled out all round. (See Made Up.)
