Glover's or Boving's Mange Cure or the Kenwyn 

 Koat Kure, all of which are essentially sulphur 

 and crude oil. A light case may be cured by wash- 

 ing with ordinary Epsom salts and putting a 

 tablet of flowers of sulphur each day in his food. 



I am a firm believer, also, in that little piece of 

 sulphur in his water bowl. It has often been 

 scoffed at in print, but my training in chemistry 

 as an engineer tells me that that sulphur will be 

 continuously forming a slight reaction with the 

 water to produce weak sulphuric acid, which is 

 just what the dog needs to make hydrochloric acid 

 in combination with the salt in his food, and these 

 two acids are among the principal reagents in the 

 processes of digestion. 



The above diet can be kept up, with variations, 

 throughout the dog's life, only the amount being 

 reduced as he grows older. Two pounds of dog 

 meat at 12 cents a pound will keep the broth-pot 

 stocked with the basis of a dog mulligan, and all 

 table scraps are to go into this. One box of dog 

 biscuit at 20 cents will last a week, and this gives 

 you a bill of about 50 cents a week for your dog's 

 keep. Never feed him ancient or smelly meat; 

 he is just as liable to ptomaine poisoning as you 

 are. Throw it away and let him fast, if the meat 

 gets away from you in midsummer.
