temper, absolutely die for want of nourish- 

 ment; for, if very bad, they refuse all food. 

 I am convinced that I have saved the lives 

 of several, by drenching them, three or four 

 times a day, vv ith strong beef or horse broth, ' 



with a little meal in it; making it a thin 

 gruel. 



I have found the turbith mineral, in the 

 distemper, by many degrees the most effi- 

 cacious ; and I can with truth say, it does 

 not often fail, when given in the early stage 

 of the disorder. Although this medicine is 

 not a certain cure in the distemper, yet, in a 

 violent and fatal disorder, which dogs are 

 very subject to, I never kneivit fail, if given 

 when the dog was first taken ill. 



The disorder I shall next speak of, is a ^'j^j;;^'^^!^^ 

 violent bilious fever, which kills a dog in verysubllaYo! 

 three days, provided he be not relieved. 

 The symptoms are as follow: first, he feeds 

 very sparingly ; shortly after that, he loses 

 that fine, florid, flesh colour, in his mouth 

 and gums, which begin to assume a pale 

 cast ; in a very few hours after, he will turn 

 as yellow as a guinea in the mouth and eyes.
