CHAPTER IX. 



ON DOG MEDICINE. 



NTERNAL CANKER OF THE EAR ; arising in a great many 

 ^* cases from high feeding, want of exercise, and hot weather. 



Remedy A solution of 5 grains of acetate of lead, to i ounce 

 of water. The ears to be well syringed out with this mixture three 

 times a day. 



It is as well in very hot climates, with long haired dogs, to wash 

 their ears out with this solution (only mixed a little weaker) once 

 daily ; it cannot possibly do any harm, and it will always act as a 

 preventive. 



SORE FEET Cause ; soft pads from living on board ship without 

 exercise, and very often the great tenderness occasioned, by 

 galloping over short rice stubble. 



Remedy A solution of 6 grains of sulphate of zinc to i ounce 

 of water. Feet to be well bathed with this twice a day, more 

 especially between the toes. 



CATARRH, SNEEZING, &c. Very often picked up by lying out on 

 a damp deck, or a long journey home, when wet from shooting.
