show as the animal grows to an adult age. It very frequently leaves 

 them 'bowlegged,' or with twisted limbs. 



"I would suggest that you feed plenty of nitrogenous food, such as 

 meat, and encourage digestion as much as possible. Give bones, and per- 

 haps it would be well to give small amount of lime water to drink. In the 

 medicinal treatment use syrups calci locto-phosphatis, in thirty drop 

 doses, once daily." 



Septicemia Puerperalis, and Inflammation of the Uterus. — "This is 

 common in bitches, and is the result of retention and putrefaction of a 

 dead fetus (pup,) or the introduction of putrid matter through the blood 

 stream. The symptoms are high fever, the nose and mouth are hot, the 

 pulse is quick, the respirations are increased, the eyes are injected, the ex- 

 tremities become cold, and often insensibility and death occur. 



"If the treatment is to be of any avail it must be adopted at once. 

 First, remove the cause, if possible, inject the uterus with warm, weak 

 Gondy's Fluid, and give immediately 10 grains to 20 grains of the hypo- 

 sulphite of soda, in water three times a day. Creasote given in 1 grain to 

 3 grain doses (made into a pill with a crumb of bread), three times a 

 day is useful; salicylate of soda is also recommended in 10 grains to 

 grains doses, in water, three times a day. The bowels must be relaxed by 

 means of doses of oil, and soap and water enemas. The kennel must be 

 thoroughly cleansed and sanitary, the drains well flushed and a good clean 

 bed provided. The patient must have warmth with plenty of fresh air. The 

 food must be light, such as beef tea and mutton broth, with crumbled stale 

 bread. As the animal approaches convalescence, 1 grain to 2 grains of 

 sulphate of quinine may be given with advantage." 



The above is Dalziel's treatment. In lieu of the quinine during con- 

 valescence I would use Clayton's, Sergeant's or Dent's Condition Pills. 



Sarcoptie Mange. — See Mange. 



Scalds — See Burns. 



Scurf, or Crusty Ears — This comes from want of attention to the skin, 

 but often appears on the ears as a forerunner of canker, in which case wash 

 with warm water and anoint with olive oil. Give the dog a dose of physic, 

 and feed on a light diet for a few days. If you will put my Skin Cure 

 on these crusty ears twice a day, rub on well both sides, which softens up 

 the crusty and scaly edges and flaps of the ear. then gently scrape off what is 

 loosened, with your fingers — in a few days the ears will be cured. This 

 is my treatment, and it always works. The fact of the matter is that my 

 Skin Cure, containing nine ingredients, carefully blended and mixed, will 

 just about take proper care of any skin trouble that a dog has. Each 

 eight ounce bottle is mixed and prepared, just the one at a time, this 

 be-ng necessary in order to get the different ingredients properly blended, 

 and connot be made in bulk. It. sells for the same price as any other skin 

 remedy but. with all due regard to the virtues of Glover's, Gent's, Clay- 

 ton's and Spratt's — which are all good—mine is just simply better. I've
