84- SMELL, POISON. 



Linseed oil, or Scotch snuff, rubbed well all over the body 

 is a temporary remedy. A good washing with common soap and 

 water will perhaps answer the purpose. In hot weather, dogs 

 are much troubled with fleas ; and if the sportsman is anxious 

 for the comfort of the animal, he will find it necessary to use the 

 above several times during the summer. Clean beds and clean- 



o 



hness in general act as preventives. 



TO RECOVER THE SENSE OF SMELL. 



When the dog's olfactory organs become affected, it will fre- 

 quently be found to arise from colds, costiveness, or other 

 causes, which a dose or two of opening physic seldom fails to 

 remove. A little sulphur or syrup of buckthorn will have the 

 desired effect. 



FOR DOGS THAT HAVE TAKEN 

 POISON. 



For all vegetable poisons, vinegar has been supposed to be a 

 specific. At all events, whether vegetable or mineral poison has 

 been swallowed, the sooner it is discharged from the stomach 

 the better. 



Take of sulphate of copper, half a drachm 

 water, six ounces 



Give two table spoonfuls every five minutes till effectual
