pying his kennel or sleeping quarters, or being shipped in a crate that 

 was used by a dog with mango, will surely contract it. Absolute clean- 

 liness is necessary in the treatment of mange. When your dog shows 

 signs of mange, remove it immediately from its quarters to new ones, 

 burn the bedding it has used, wash its kennel with boiling water, to which 

 has been added the Standard Disinfectant, or Sanitas (See advertisement 

 of both in this book). Either one, if thoroughly applied, will destroy 

 every parasite in the kennel. 



Now give your dog a good bath with Eberhart's Dog Soap, using quite as 

 Warm water as the dog c ■ : i ii stand, cleansing its entire body and opening the 

 pores of the skin. After drying the dog thoroughly, then apply Eberhart's 

 Skin Cure all over the dog, rubbing it in well with your bands and not. 

 missing a spot on tbe dog's body, for if yon do you leave some parasites 

 — a very busy and industrious pest they are — and in a day later many new- 

 born ones would be hard at work again. Take plenty Of lime in putting 

 on 'this skin cure, using "plenty of elbow grease,*' applying it the same 

 as you would a liniment. Repeal this the next day, and probably Eor two 

 days more, the bath not being strictly essential except the first day. If 

 you wish, or the dog is a house dog. you can give It a bath after the skin 

 cure has been on for ball' an hour, for it has then done its work, this bath 

 simply to put the dog in more presentable and cleaner shape, as all skin 

 or mange cures contain oil of some kind and are therefore greasy. There 

 are several good mange cures aside I'tom mine. 



Ordinarily a case of mange should be cured in a week or two, and 

 after three or four applications all over the dog, it is only necessary to 

 apply it daily to the sore places, or where no hair, as my skin remedy is, 

 also, a great hair grower, and never fails to restore the hair, unless tbe 

 hair roots have been destroyed — when nothing will bring back the hair. 

 It is not necessary to change the food in treating mange. 



A very good mange euro is the following: 



Train oil ""4 gallon 



Venice turpentine 2 ounces 



Oil of tar y 2 ounce 



Lac Sulphur • 1 pound 



First mix the oil and turpentine and then add the oil of tar and sulphur. 

 Your druggist may not have train oil, as it is often hard to procure. If so, 

 common "black oil" or crude petroleum will do just as well. 



All mange cures should bo applied the same as directed in vising mine. 



■"■""he following, as a dip, was recommended by a friend, who used it in 

 his kem.ols. The only objection I can see is that it would not do to use 

 in cold weather: 



"For quick cure of mange use 1 quart of Standard Oil of Tar to 10 

 quarts of water; have water as hot as possible without scalding or burning 

 band, mix thoroughly, place liquid In small narrow tub, one that will just
