one week with equal parts of peroxide of hydrogen and water, and give, twice 

 a day, Sergeant's Condition Pills." 



Lameness From Hard Bunch on Leg. — "Please prescribe for my Eng- 

 lish setter dog, six years old. He has had a hard bunch in the middle 

 joint of his right hindleg for some time; he always chews at it as if it 

 itched, and it is making him lame; he had the same, on each of his two fore- 

 legs, but they went away at length without treatment." 



Answer. — Give ten grains of the idodide of potash three times a day 

 for two weeks, followed by a Sergeant's Condition Pill twice a day for 

 probably a month. Paint the enlargement with tincture of iodine once 

 daily for a week. 



Constant and Frequent Urinating. — "An English setter bitch, who eats 

 well, has a good coat, is full of life and seems to be in perfect health, yet 

 when she is lying in one place or sleeping there is a constant but slow 

 discharge of urine, and when she gets up her whole side will be wet. I 

 notice also a matter-like secretion. I have noticed these discharges the 

 past week and cannot understand whether it is a weakness of the kidneys 

 or a disease. What is the trouble? Please prescribe." 



Answer. — "Give one dram of sanmetto three times a day for a couple of 

 weeks." 



Bloodshot Eyes. — "My English setter bitch, three years old, had dis- 

 temper badly at one year. Since then her eyes and the lining of eyelids 

 have been red, at times worse than others; there seems to be no inflam- 

 mation, only the white of the eyes and lids are bloodshot, particularly so 

 after a hard hunt or when she is a bit off; they very rarely discharge. 

 Please prescribe." 



Answer. — "Drop in the eyes three times a day Eberhart's Eye Lotion 

 No. 2." 



Dandruff and Hair Coming Out. — "Please prescribe for cocker spaniel, 

 six months old, that has dry dandruff all over him, hot, dry nose and 

 scratches continually. Have used mange cure a number of times and 

 washed with dog soap, but these have done little good. The hair is coming 

 out where the dandruff is worse." 



Answer. — "Take boraic acid one ounce, saliclyic acid one ounce, glycer- 

 ine one pint; rub this well into the skin twice a day and wash every third 

 day with Eberhart's Dog Soap; continue this treatment for thirty clays. 

 Internally give five grains of the hyposulphite of soda and three grains of 

 pepsin three times a day. In lieu of prescription given for external treat- 

 ment better use Eberhart's Skin Cure, preceded by bath with his dog soap." 



Swelling on Legs Above the Hock and Discharge. — "My pointer, eight 

 and one-half months old, that has distemper and with it came a large swell- 

 ing right above the hock on both hind-legs, and one on the righ shoulder 

 along the neck; all three of these opened with a discharge which has 

 caused a soreness all over the neck and at the right ear; all of the hair 

 is coming out, and there is still a little discharge. The two lumps on the 

 hind-legs opened on November 15; the one on the shoulder opened- on No- 

 vember 19. The fever is broken and the puppy eats well. The openings 

 on the legs are closing up but are a little thick yet and are very white. 

 The neck where the pus has been discharged upon it is very red, on thfl 

 order of a scalded spot, and the hair is all off." 



Answer. — "Give three grains of the iodide of potash three times a day 

 for two weeks, wash out the sores with equal parts of the peroxide of 

 hydrogen and water for two or three days, then stop the washing; then put 

 the dog on a thirty days' treatment of Sergeant's or Clayton's Condition 

 Pills, one pill night and morning." 



Lameness in Stifle Joint. — "My pointer dog, eighteen months old, be- 

 came lame in his right fore-leg about seven or eight months ago, and I am 

 unable to ascertain where the lameness is. I can find nothing in the foot 

 or any indication of soreness in the leg or shoulder; where he steps on that 

 foot he places it out beyond a natural position, and walks with his leg 

 projected. He is in good health; had the distemper when four months 

 old. What is the ailment? Please prescribe."
