 Before leaving these beautiful and engaging breeds, we must once more impress upon our 



readers the importance of frequently brushing their coats with a not too hard "balloon" brush, 

 such as recommended in Chapter XXI. If the blood becomes heated too, which will soon 

 be discovered by the dog scratching, a course of sulphur and magnesia, as recommended on 

 page 20, should be at once prescribed, but the doses must not be too strong, or the con- 

 stitution of the Spaniel may be injured by them.
