 his nervous system to normal. 



MANGE CURB 



I note inquiries for a cure for mange. To your 

 thousands of readers, I will say, regardless of 

 what veterinaries or any one else may suggest, 

 use the following for a sure cure: 



Sulphur 1 oz. 



Lard 1 oz. 



Oxide of zinc ^^ oz. 



Before applying in form of a paste, wash all 

 affected parts with soap and lukewarm water. 

 Use treatment every other day for five treatments. 

 Itching will stop almost immediately after the first 

 application, and the growth of hair will return in 

 a very short time. This treatment cannot fail.

CURE FOR RED MANGE 



Please tell me what to do for red mange on a 

 dog. I think it is red mange. The sores break 

 out on his neck and run and get sticky. Would 

 like to know about diet, too. I suppose candy is 

 not at all the thing to give him.
