highest point to the lowest and pulled backwards and forwards 

 at least once a day. 



This treatment prevents the re-formation of abscess, causes 

 a healthy discharge, and leaves no blemish. 



If the inside of the flap of the ear is involved it is no use to 

 apply the Elliman's as a preventive, but the skin on the hair- 

 less portion should be ripped up from end to end and a pledget 

 of tow dipped in the Elliman's must be squeezed into the 

 wound. * 



If this is not done it fills up again in a single night. 



The other sort of abscess is what is commonly called a boil, 

 in human flesh, and contains pus or thick matter, instead of the 

 Gtraw-coloured thin fluid found in serous abscesses. 



The formation is slower and even more painful. Dispersal 

 is not very hopeful unless the first appearance of swelling 

 and tenderness is detected. The employment of the Elliman's 

 is here recommended to bring the abscess to a head, or as the 

 surgeons say, make it "point." When a thin place can be dis- 

 tinctly felt it is time to lance it. There should be no hesita- 

 tion, a bold stab hurts less than a nervously given one and will 

 let all the matter out at once. 



The discharge is to be encouraged by warm fomentation, 

 not hotter than one can bear the elbow in, and should be followed 

 by a dressing with Elliman's inside the new made wound. A 

 healthy action is thus set up and early and complete recovery 

 may be looked for. 



BRUISES, 



Dogs of every breed are extremely liable to bruises caused 

 either in their sport, or in the service of their masters, and, it 

 must be added, by the wilful brutality of persons who dislike 

 them. 



Treatment. — As soon as the injury is discovered, bathe with 

 warm water and apply the Elliman's. Repeat next day and 

 in all probability it will be cured.
