"The Kennelman" has this to say of Eczema, published in American 

 Stock-Keeper: 



"Obstinate cases of eczema are most distressingly aggravating to the 

 kennel owner. In a majority of instances this condition arises from the 

 continued use of starchy foods. When I he symptoms appear — pustulous 

 formations at the roots af the hair, after a preliminary redness of the 

 skin and wet oozy sores that appear to the size of a half dollar in a night, 

 the diet should be attended to. Lean, raw meat must be fed almost ex- 

 clusively. Then the blood must be purified, and exercise given freely. A 

 handy preparation that will be found excellent as a general cleanser and 

 preventive is a mixture of equal parts (not weights) of Epsom salts, cream 

 of tartar and sulphur lac; a pinch every morning, in quantity according 

 to the size of the dog, dropped on the tongue for a week will do good. 

 It is a remedial agent that is useful at any time. In bad chronic cases 

 this mixture will do well — one drop of fluid extract of colchicum and five 

 grains of sulphate of soda, three times daily in a capsule; feed raw beef 

 and no cereal food. Apply to the sores equal parts of oil of tar and alcohol, 

 or Eberhart's Skin Cure.
