suggestions. His hair is beginning to come out, 

 though I am inclined to believe that this is his 

 puppy coat coming out with the warm weather.

Ans. — That pup of yours surely has got eczema, 

 and it has progressed so far that your Epsom 

 salts are too mild. Send for a bottle of Kenwyn, 

 Glover's or Boving's coat cure and dope him all 

 over with it. These are the best I know, and I 

 have tried a lot of remedies, for Airedales are 

 very subject to eczema. 



You must change his diet right off. At his age 

 he needs three meals a day. Breakfast, a little 

 oatmeal, a broken-up dog biscuit, some table 

 scraps, and meat broth from his meat kettle 

 poured over the whole works. Lunch, table 

 scraps, pieces of stale bread baked to a golden 

 brown in the oven, and meat broth poured over 

 the whole of it. Supper, table scraps, a dog bis- 

 cuit broken up, a chunk of dog meat from the ket- 

 tle, and some pieces of stale bread baked. A diet 

 like that will drive away the eczema quick, aided 

 by the coat cure. He should not lose his puppy 

 coat of hair — none of my setters do — ^it is one of 

 the effects of eczema.
