 caused by ticks. It is called "staggers" as the 

 dog that is affected with it staggers as he walks. 

 It seems as though they can't manage their hind 

 parts. Sometimes they break down and have to 

 drag their hind parts (sled fashion.)

 about equal parts mixed and bathe in well across 

 the kidneys and also across the back of head 

 where it joins to neck. Usually two or three ap- 

 plications makes a cure.
