DOG DISEASES 211 



sis in the hind extremities of dogs. In addition 



to your treatment, I give a few drops of Fowler's 



solution of arsenic four times daily, commencing 



with two drops and gradually increasing to four 



drops four times daily. Increase a drop daily 



until the four drops are reached, then continue 



until improvement has reached a high degree. I 



am not a dog veterinary but just a dog lover, 



and treat my own dogs. This treatment has given 



me excellent results in two such cases as Mr. 



Irgens described.

FITS 



I have a pointer bird pup that is subject to fits 

 while hunting. He never has a fit only shortly 

 after you have flushed a covey of quail and shoot 

 two or three times, then he will stop, look around 

 as though he was scared, drop his ears close to 

 his head, clamp his tail and start to run, making 

 possibly two jumps, and then run in a small circle 

 two or three times, and then falls over. He will 

 lie for two or three minutes, kicking and slob- 

 bering, and his head generally draws back over 

 his side or neck. 



He has never had but one fit in a day's hunt ex- 

 cept once, when he had two within twenty minutes.
