head erect and pour the liquid through the 

 teeth. 



Don't give pills in a careless manner. If 

 you do, the dog will slip it under his tongue 

 and spit it out when you are not watching. 

 Drop the pill as far behind the tongue as pos- 

 sible. With two fingers push it farther back. 

 In his efforts to expel it, it will slip down the 

 throat. 



Don't fail to give your dog plenty of good, 

 healthy exercise every day. Lack of it will 

 invariably cause indigestion, constipation, and 

 various other complaints that can easily be 

 avoided by carefully observing this precaution. 



Don't deprive a sick dog of anything that he 

 will eat. In many cases it is necessary to tempt 

 him to eat so as to preserve his strength. 

 Afterwards you can gradually change the diet 

 to food that will prove more suitable for him. 



Don't overlook the fact that a thorough dis- 

 infection of a kennel is absolutely essential to 

 insure perfect health among dogs. 



Frequently whitewashing of woodwork de- 

 stroys offensive odors, insects, and vermin. 

 The ground around the Kennel should be swept 

 every day or so and once a week sprinkled 

 with a solution of crude carbolic acid and 

 water.
