434 dogs: their management 



pear when nothing can be detected to affect the stomach; 

 probably owing to large dogs chasing through brush- 

 wood, or those of the smaller breeds hunting through 

 long grass. Then a square of soft lint, formed by dou- 

 bling a large piece several times, is laid upon the painful 

 organ, and kept wet with the following lotion ; — 



(1.) LOTION FOK THE EYE 



Tinot. amic. mont. . . Three dropa 

 Tinot. opii . . . Six drops. 



Mist, camph. . . . One ounce. 



The first symptoms having subsided — that is, the dog 

 being capable of raising the lid, and the flow of tears 

 having in some measure stopped — the previous lotion 

 may be changed for the following wash ; — 



(2.) EYE VTASH, 



Arg. nit. .... One grain. 

 Mist, camph., or Aq. dist. . One ounce. 



The proper manner of applying these preparations to 

 the eye deserves notice. Let the owner buy a large- 

 sized, long-haired, camel's-hair painting brush ; pour a 

 little of the liquid into a saucer ; saturate the brush in 

 the fluid ; pull the lids gently asunder, being careful not 

 to call forth resistance by frightening a timid animal with 

 arfy exhibition of haste or violence ,- then, having the 

 eye exposed, draw the brush quickly across it, and the 

 business is over.
