[This was undoubtedly a case of poisoning by strychnia, and 

 one correspondent may consider hirnself very fortunate in 

 saving the life of his pet. We remember several cases where 

 the symptoms were almost identical with those deacril

for advice in relation to the .ailments ol" their canine, friends 

 will carefully read the communication, and so far profit by 

 its teachings as to give us a like comprehensive description of 

 each case, thus enabling us to correctly diagnose and prop-
