 of the medicines advised, mixture No. i, can be laid aside 

 — in a cool place if it is to be kept — and No. 2 used 

 thereafter, in the same way as during the earlier age.

 dose. From the fourth month this dose should be per- 

 sisted in until the seventh month, when another increase 

 of one-half a teaspoonful can be made. In other words, 

 such puppies seven months old can take two teaspoonfuls 

 of No. 2 at a single dose.

 spoonful will be allowable with No. 2 ; and this made, the 

 dose will be two and one-half teaspoonfuls. 



Three months later, or at the thirteenth month, still an-
