peroxyde of hydrogen, one part of peroxyde to four parts of water by 

 measure. 



Dry out the ear with absorbent cotton swabs made by rolling cotton 

 loosely on a skewer or clean piece of stick. Dry thoroughly. 



The ear is now ready for treatment, and here is my remedy which has 

 never failed to cure the most obstinate cases., even of long standing, and 

 I give this as having proved to be an infallible cure. 



I cured a valuable poodle that had a bad case in both ears for a 

 year; three veterinarians having treated the dog and failed to cure him. 

 The dog was then shipped to my kennels and I sent him back in a few 

 weeks entirely cured. This was the worst case I ever saw or handled, 

 and I cured him with the prescription herewith given: 



Iodine 16 grains 



Iodide of potassium 32 grains 



Mix these two first in a tablespoonful of water and then add one pint 

 of pure cider vinegar. Keep in bottle corked up. 



After ear has been cleaned out and dried as directed, take your dog 

 and lay his head on your knee and pour in or inject with a rubber syringe 

 if he will hold still, about a tablespoonful of the remedy into the ear and 

 gently work or knead it in for a few minutes. Do this once a day only 

 until the ear gets better, and then every other day is often enough. You 

 can look for a cure of ordinary cases in a week or less if treatment was 

 begun promptly at first signs, neglected cases requiring more time. 



Here are several other good remedies: 



Creolin 30 grains 



Sulphate of zinc , , 16 grains 



Water 8 ounces 



This one should be injected twice daily after cleansing the ear same 

 as |or the first remedy given. 



This one is to be .used three times a day. Cleanse the ear with in- 

 jections of equal parts of peroxyde of hydrogen and water three timefe a 

 day, then injeet two t'easpoonfuls of the following: Sulphate of zinc one 

 dram, sugar of lead two drams, glycerine two ounces, water six ounces. 



And this one to be used twice a day: Sulphate of zinc "ten grains, 

 acetate of lead thirty grains, credlin one-half ounce, glycerine three ounces, 

 water to make eight ounces; inject a tablespoonful into the ear twice a 

 day. 



The discharge from the ear will cause sores on the inside of flap, so 

 when injecting the medicine wash these sores with the same. My iodine 

 prescription is especially good for these sore spots. Injecting with rubber 

 syringe is always best, if your dog will hold quiet and not resist treatment, 

 and in his struggling injurs the ear from the syringe. If you can't con- 

 trol and keep him quiet, then pouring it in will do, the main objection being
