 ' suiting from hunting, should be rubbed with carbolic salve, and afterward with 

 vaseline. Cutting oif the end of the tail is a remedy sometimes employed. 



Cuts from Glass. — Touch the edges of the wound lightly with a stick of caustic, 



every other day, for a week or ten days. If this fails to make the sore contract, 



\ paint the surface with collodion. This treatment applied to a case where a dc^

Warts on Mar. — Remove by excision, and afterward apply a thin layer of 

 oxide of mercury mixed with sulphuric acid.

 order and agitate thoroughly. Two tablespoonsful a^tated with a bucket of 

 warm water and sprinkled about kennel or stable will not only disinfect but 

 assist in the extermination of vermin ; a teaspoonful added to a pint of warm 

 w^ater forms an excellent tar w^ater, as well as deodorant, and if such is used as 

 an enema in a sick room — that of a typhoid fever patient for instance— will com- 

 pletely deodorize stools previous to their extra intestinal existence. This dilution 

 will be found particularly valuable as an enema for dogs suffering with diairiicea 

 or dysentery. As a general disinfectant it is unsurpassed.
