 pills will be found suitable. 



Carbonate of ammonia . . 12 grains. 



Quinine . . . 6 



Powdered camphor . 6 



Extract of belladonna . 3 

 Licorice powder and treacle 

 sufficient to make 12 pills. 



Give one, night and morning. 



If vomiting is troublesome give 10 grains each of 

 bi-carbonate of soda and bismuth, dry on the 

 tongue, three times daily. Diarrhoea must be 

 treated according to the instructions laid down 

 under the heading of this disease. Sponge the 

 eyes and nose daily with tepid water. If the 

 cough is troublesome give a teaspoonful of ipeca- 

 cuanha wine to clear the throat. 



A portion of salt herring, fried, is a capital food 

 in distemper, so also is a little minced raw meat. 



Pleurisy and Pneumonia. 



These may be part and parcel of distemper, or 

 may exist apart from that malady. 



Either one or both lungs may be affected, but it 

 is quite impossible for an amateur to diagnose the 

 existence of either ; if conjectured, consult a 

 qualified veterinary surgeon the sooner the 

 better.
