 of iodine vasogen over the enlarged liver in

Kennels, How to Disinfect : After dogs have 

 been suffering from any contagious disease, like 

 distemper or mange, in a kennel, it is necessary 

 to thoroughly disinfect them, and it is best done 

 in the following manner : — 



In a strong tin dish from half to a pound of 

 sulphur, according to the size of the kennel, 

 should be placed. A few drops of methylated 

 spirits should be poured on top of the sulphur, 

 and a light applied, the methylated spirits being 

 added to make the sulphur ignite more easily. 

 The kennel should then be made as air-tight 

 as possible by having strips of paper pasted over 

 all the crevices and around the window-frames, 

 so that the sulphur fumes cannot escape. The 

 kennel should be kept sealed up for forty-eight 

 hours, after which the windows and doors may 

 be thrown open so as to thoroughly ventilate the 

 place, and the following day the whole of the 

 inside kennel should be thoroughly washed with 

 a strong solution of Pearson's fluid, i in 40. 

 The walls and ceilings when dry should be after- 

 wards well lime-washed or sulphur-washed — that 

 is, finely powdered sulphur mixed with water and 

 size, the same way as whitewash is prepared. A 

 day or two later, when everything is thoroughly 

 dry, the kennel will be quite fit to receive dogs, or 

 even puppies, without any fear of infection.
