After distemper, eczema often follows as the 

 result of weakness ; tonics should be given and 

 the disease treated in the ordinary way. 



Some dogs during distemper, especially in 

 bad cases, discharge a thin, purulent, offensive 

 matter or pus from the skin around the mouth, 

 head, under the neck, and inside of ears. This 

 condition, which is more often seen in blood- 

 hounds than other dogs, is a very bad sign. 



The parts should be thoroughly cleansed 

 once a day by being washed with Pearson's 

 Antiseptic diluted eighty times with warm 

 water, carefully dried with soft cloths, and 

 then freely dusted with some absorbent powder, 

 as anylyform, or with the following : — 



Powdered Burnt Alum, - - 1 ounce. 



Powdered Boracic Acid, - - 1 ounce. 



Powdered Starch, 6 ounces.
