DOGS. 



Not alone for the purposes of giving medicine do we require 

 to exercise methods of restraint. In any sort of operation 

 where chloroform is not employed, we need a safe muzzle. A 

 regulation one is quite useless for the purpose. A stout length 

 of tape answers best, folded across the dog's face and again 

 under his jaw, it can then be brought behind his neck and tied 

 at the back. 



Puzzles. — When a broken leg has been set or any contrivance 

 placed upon a dog he will generally try to bite it off. 



The "cradle" familiar to horsemen answers but indifferently 

 with dogs ; and for any but the very largest and strongest, a 

 good puzzle can be made out of millboard or oilcloth. 



Dog Puzzf^E 



The inner circle must equal that of the dog's neck, and the 

 illustration shows how it is put on and afterwards secured in its 

 place. 



Poisonous lotions, &c. may have to be used, and this 

 contrivance has been found safe and effectual.
