follow another in quick succession until it dies 

 from exhaustion. 



Treatment : The puppy should be held to 

 prevent it knocking itself about. (I may here 

 remark that there is not the least danger from a 

 bite of a dog when suffering- from fits of any 

 kind.) As soon as the puppy can swallow, a 

 dose of the following mixture must be given : — 



Dose ; From a teaspoon ful to a tablespoonful * 

 to be given every two, three, or four hours, 

 according to the severity of the symptoms. If 

 the puppy is unable to swallow, double the 

 quantity should be injected into the bowel, mixed 

 with equal quantity of tepid water. In severe 

 cases a hot bath is beneficial ; also ice may be 

 applied to the head. Keep the puppy in a 

 dark room for some hours after the attack. To 

 prevent a recurrence of the convulsions, treat 

 puppy for worms. Feed on a milk diet for a few 

 days. 



Corns : Horny elevations which form on the 

 pads of the feet. 



Treatment : They may be removed by cutting, 

 or destroyed. The best way is by the application 

 of a solution of chromic acid, one in four. It 

 should be applied sparingly to the part with a 

 glass rod about twice a week.
