CONSTANT AND FREQUENT URINATING. "An Bnglsh setter bitch, who eats well, 

 has a good coat, is full of life and seems to be in perfect health, yet when she is 

 lying in one place or sleeping there is a constant but slow discharge of urine, and 

 when she gets up her whole side will be wet. I notice also a matter-like secre- 

 tion. I have noticed these discharges the past week and cannot understand 

 whether it. is a weatness of the kidneys or a disease. What is the trouble? Please 

 "prescribe."

BLOODSHOT BYES. "My English setter bitch, three years old, had distemper 

 badly at one year. Since then her eyes and the lining of eyelids have been red. 

 at times worse than others; there seems to be no inflammation, only the white of 

 the eyes and lids are bloodshot, particularly so after a hard hunt or when she is 

 a bit off; they very rarely discharge. Please prescribe."

SWELLING ON LEGS ABOVE THE HOCK AND DISCHARGE. "My pointer, eight and 

 one-half months old, that has distemper and with it came a large swelling right 

 above the hock on both hind-legs, and one on the right shoulder along the neck; 

 all three of these opened with a discharge which has caused a soreness all over 

 the neck and at the right ear; all of the hair is coming out, and there is still a 

 little discharge. The two lumps on the hind-legs opened on November 15; the 

 one on the shoulder opened on November 19. The fever is broken and the puppy 

 eats well. The openings on the legs are closing up but are a little thick yet and 

 are very white. The neck where the pus has been discharged upon it is very red, 

 on the order of a scalded spot, and the hair is all off."
