according to the severity of the case. Apply an 

 ice-bag to the head for a quarter of an hour 

 or longer at a time, and put a seton in the back 

 of the neck, just behind the ears, which dress 

 with turpentine ointment. Keep the dog abso- 

 lutely quiet in a dark room, and feed entirely on a 

 liquid diet — as milk, with white of egg ; Benger's 

 food or toast; and some beef- tea. Brand's 

 essence or rabbit soup may be given occasionally, 

 but those latter foods are more stimulating than 

 nourishing. The milk foods mentioned are 

 perfect food, and will support the dog an 

 indefinite time. For the treatment of chorea 

 and paralysis, see the articles on those 

 subjects. 



The bromide must be continued for some time, 

 even though the convulsions stop, but given in 

 less quantities. 



Milk : It is not generally known how much 

 stronger or more nourishing a bitch's milk is 

 than cow's milk, and when I had some samples 

 analysed I was surprised myself. Below I give 

 the analysis of a fair sample of each kind : — 



Practically a bitch's milk is nearly three times 

 as strong as a cow's, and yet people, when 

 giving the latter to puppies, often dilute it with 

 one-third of water, and thus add to its weakness.
