60 EVERYTHING ABOUT DOGS. 



This I have used a great deal lately and it is a valuable one, in fact, one of the 

 best, possible to use for almost every sort of eye trouble; can never do harm but 

 always prove beneficial. This one, due to the camphor water in it, will not keep for 

 over a week or so, and therefore should this be remembered and not used when 

 having stood too long. Either should be always tightly corked, and a glass stop- 

 pered bottle is much the best. 



Whenever I find any trouble in any of my dogs eyes I at once use the No. 2. 

 even in case of a slight cold caught and which had settled into the eye, as shown 

 by inflammation, mattery or watery discharge, or even only an apparent weakness 

 or blinking when dog was exposed to a strong light. 



Dogs are subject to affections of the eye in more or less degree according to 

 their breed and uses. Hunting dogs are naturally, owing to the nature of their 

 work, more subject than other dogs to receive injuries from thorns, dust and dirt 

 and other foreign matter. This will be followed by more or less inflammation of 

 the mucous membrane lining the eyelids, which is attended by a watery discharge 

 at first and assuming a more purulent condition as the trouble increases. 



It is well known that a small particle of grit may remain under an eyelid in 

 spite of fomentations, and should the eye be examined without discovery of the 

 source of trouble, very often an application of pure olive oil with a camel's hair 

 brush to the underpart of the eyelid will often succeed in carrying off the irritant, 

 which may be too small to discern. This, however, is usually to be considered 

 merely a preliminary step, and my Eye Lotion No. 2 should be then used to 

 remove the inflammation thus caused. If your dog brings about a iswollen or 

 inflamed condition of the eyelids through a chance scratch of the claws in rubbing 

 their face, use my Eye Lotion No. 2, after having first bathed the parts with 

 warm water. 



Different forms of indigestion may be associated with irritation of the mucous 

 membranes throughout, and the eyes will suffer in common with the other parts. 

 Rheumatism is also one of the maladies which are attended with inflammation, 

 more or less pronounced, of the eyes, with the eyeball itself and the lids partici- 

 pating in the disorder. It must, therefore, be obvious that the common expression, 

 "a discharge from the eyes," may refer to a variety of morbid conditions which are 

 not to be counteracted by an application of a lotion to the eye. Perhaps a safe 

 guide for the tyro in medicine may be found in the duration of the discharge. Tn 

 any case of simple irritation from the presence of dirt or grit it may be fairly ex- 

 pected that the symptoms will cease very quickly upon the application of -simple 

 remedies, that is to say after it has been clearly ascertaied that there is no of- 

 fending body adherent to the underneath part of the eyelid. The continuance 

 of the discharge week after week, or even month after month, may certainly be 

 taken to mean that something more than ordinary irritation of a Dimple kind is 

 present, and under such circumstances the chances are that the common eve water, 

 for example, three or four grains of boracic acid in an ounce of rose water, is not 

 likely to do any good, and may possibly do some harm by checking the discharge, 

 which is really critical in its character. The proper course in such cases would 

 be to consult an expert in diseases of the dog, who will most probably be able to 

 find some constitutional cause to account for what has been looked upon as a local 

 disorder. 



Pugs, toy spaniels and all dogs with prominent or "pop eyes," as they are 

 termed, are greatly troubled with their eyes, and here is where I found out the 

 merits of my own eye remedies. Either of them will never fail to cure ulceration 

 and perforation of the ball of the eye if used in time. In some cases a white spot
