158 DISEASES 



large breeds, twice and three times the amount, to be varied by the size 

 and strength of the animal, and can be given with perfect safety. I have 

 yet to see one unpleasant result of the Vermifuge, and I will pay for any 

 pup that has been properly treated with my Vermifuge in time, that dies 

 of worms. I will put up twice the value of the pup, and after I have given 

 a dose of my Vermifuge, if the pup dies and there is found one worm, the 

 owner takes the money; if there are no worms, the owner stands the loss. 

 I absolutely guarantee to remove all worms with my remedies, without 

 injury to the animal, and you cannot speak too highly of my worm reme- 

 dies." 



Dr. Clayton further says: "Puppies never do so well as when get- 

 ting the nourishment from the mother, and if it is possible to rid them of 

 worms at this t'me it is very much to be desired, this can be accomplished 

 by giving Clayton's Vermifuge, as it is a safe remedy and can be given to 

 puppies at ten days' old, any breed. The Vermifuge should never be given 

 oftener than once a week. It is a good plan to give all puppies the Vermi- 

 fuge, say once a week from ten days old until they are three months old, 

 as you are then absolutely sure your puppies are free from worms, and 

 barring all contagious diseases will soon arrive at the teething period." 



Now, what I have written and furnished you in the foregoing is meant 

 for Stomach or Round Worms espec'ally. Any of these Vermifuges might 

 also expel tape worm, but I now treat of it, and a remedy that is certain, 

 safe and sure, one made and intended to be used on human's for tape 

 worm, but adapted to and used on the dog, by the writer: 



Tape Worm — Symptoms of Tape Worm. — An irregular and frequently 

 a ravenous appetite co-existing with considerable emaciation, the food taken 

 seeming to do the dog no good. The breath is offensive, and nose hot and 

 dry. The coat has a rough, harsh, staring, unhealthy look, the hair looking 

 dead. I have, however, found tape worms in a pug dog that had a sleek 

 and glossy coat and was fat and healthy. They often have a depraved ap- 

 petite, looking for and eating filth. Parts of the worm may sometimes be 

 seen hanging from the anus of the dog, this being the case in the pug spoken 

 of, and who had never shown any signs of having such trouble, as she was 

 a bitch that had had several litters of pups. 



I prefer mixing it in molasses, as this is sweet and also a physic. It 

 should work him in from half an hour to an hour, but sometimes takes 

 longer. 



Another way to give it is by mixing the powder in castor or olive oil, 

 the way it is given by doctors in treating human beings for tape worm. 



Now, arrange to have it so you can examine the passages by dog being 

 confined in a yard. Be there yourself till it has worked the dog, don't give 

 it up and go away, for this catching tape worms is not easy fishing, and you 

 must give it your attention. Examine each stool and carefully pick out 

 the part of worm it may contain, wash this off and put it on a sheet of 

 paper so you can examine it and see what luck you had in that haul, or if 

 you got the head that time. You can buy at a small cost a magnifying glass, 

 as the head cannot be seen with the naked eye. As soon as medicine is 

 through working, feed up your dog, for he will relish a good meal. If you 

 find the head, then I would let the dog go for a week before you give him
