pies and old dogs. A laxative ()^ — i ounce castor oil) may be 

 followed in strong and very feverish cases by tartar emetic ( % — 

 y^ grain) three times a day. Spraying or sponging the nose with 

 a weak solution of chlorate of potass, common salt, or potassium 

 permanganate will greatly relieve. Inhalation from burning sul- 

 phur, or from carbonate of ammonia, or both, may be used when 

 sponging or spraying is difficult. In inveterate cases, the weak 

 electric current sent through the cheeks, or the insufflation of 

 acetanilid, iodoform or calomel may be tried. As a rule, salt- 

 peter in five grain doses, given in the water, will prove helpful, 

 and in weak conditions wine, tincture of gentian or nux- vomica 

 may be used.
