 ounces,, and rub well into the limbs for at least 

 half an hour — wipe ofif all the liniment that 

 remains on the dog's coat — blanket warmly 

 and muzzle the dog so that he cannot lick the 

 liniment, as it is a powerful poison; give a 

 purgative of castor-oil or salts, and three times 

 a day give ten grains of salol and three grains 

 of quinine in either water or in a gelatin cap- 

 sule, until a cure is efifected. 



CLIPPING. 



Some trainers resort to clipping the coats of 

 setters during the warm season. This leaves 

 the setter in the same condition as a pointer 

 so far as his coat is concerned, and while the 

 removal of the thick coat of the setter is a 

 relief to him both as to heat and the accumu- 

 lation of burrs, it is an operation thai must 

 be repeated yearly, and its effect upon the coat 

 is not the best. There can be no objection 

 raised to clipping off the feather on the tail and 

 legs, as during the course of the season it 

 would be worn off.
