116 WORMS. — A FINE COAT. 



If hounds are much troubled with worms, the 

 best cure I know is the following : 



Of pewter pulverized, 1 drachm 7 grs. 

 Of iEthiop's mineral, 16 grs. 



This is to be given three times, once every 

 other day, and the dog should be kept warm, 

 and from cold water. Whey, or pot liquor, 

 may be given him two or three hours after, and ' 

 should be continued, instead of meat, during 

 the time he is taking the medicine. The best 

 way of giving it is to mix it up with butter, and 

 then to make it into balls with a little flour. 



When a dog is rough.in his coat, and scratches 

 much, two or three purging balls, and a little 

 rest afterwards, seldom fail to get him into 

 order again. To make dogs fine in their coats, 

 you should use the following dressing : 



One pound of native sulphur, 

 One quart of train oil, 

 One pint of oil of turpentine, 

 Haifa pound of soap. 



My hounds are dressed with it two or three 

 times only in a year.: in some kennels, I am told, 

 they dress them once in two months. The 

 more frequently it is done, the cleaner, I sup- 

 ,pose, your hounds will look. Should you choose 

 to dress your puppies, before they are put out
