84 CATS AND ALL ABOUT THEM 



lots to follow, so it would be best to start a course ol 

 powders at once. Delays are dangerous, especially as 

 regards doctoring such sensitive creatures as Persian kittens. 



After worming a cat or kitten it is very important to give 

 the digestive organs a rest, and for this purpose a course of 

 powders, such as are supplied by Salvo, will be found very 

 beneficial. 



A very sure sign of worms in a kitten is a prominent 

 backbone with an inflated stomach. You may think your 

 puss is nice and fat, but the size of its body is the result of 

 indigestion and flatulency. 



If you suspect your cat to be afflicted with tapeworm, I 

 should recommend you to hand her over to some careful 

 and clever veterinary. The only hope of expelling these 

 pests is by administering either areca nut or oil of male 

 fern, and these powerful medicines need most judicious 

 handling. It is most important, and indeed essential, that 

 the head of the tapeworm should be expelled. The rest of 

 the creature comes away in sections. 



It is a sure sign of indigestion probably due to the 

 presence of worms if you find a sort of scale coming partly 

 over the eyes of your cat. I have known novices in the 

 fancy to imagine that in this case there is something wrong 

 with the eye itself, and lotions have been supplied. It is, 

 however, entirely caused by internal disarrangement, and 

 your puss requires a course of treatment. Nothing gives a 

 cat a more disagreeable appearance than this ugly film over a 

 portion of the eye. 



Some fanciers are under the delusion that castor oil is a 

 universal cure for all ills, and they dose their cats accord-

 Believe me, the worms thrive the more on it, and the result 

 is upsetting poor pussie and causing her great discomfort. 



Freeman's capsules for worms are the very smallest I have 

 seen. They are so easily given, and are prepared for cats
