FOREST AND STREAM. 



NOTBMBER 18, 1880. 



J, D. P., Pittsfleld, MaBS.— My pointer, three yeara old, holds his 

 head on one side, Hhakiug it very frequently, and qrate often 

 soratcheB his ear with hiB foot. SoraetimoH while doing this it ap- 

 pears to give him pain. His eyes are running more or less, and I 

 souietimeB think his hcanng is affected. Ans. Your dog haa 

 canker. Exercise ciire in the matter of diet. Cleanse the ear with 

 tepid water, and then pom- in a httle weak lead water once a day 

 and hold it there for a minute or two. 



L. E. W., Hayt'a Gornera.— 1. We know nothing of the man's 

 race ,• nor would we make any disttnetione if we did. 2. We beUeve 

 him to be reliable, in the same way that all the established houses 

 who ad\ertise with us are reUable. 3. Wo know of no pawnbroker 

 to whom we can refer you for second-hand guns, and would advise 

 you to stick to regular gim dealers if you want square treatment. 

 4. The trouble is not with the revolvers, but with the hand and 

 arm holding them. 5. Patched bullets ai-e not used in Winchester 

 riSea. 



0. A. 0., New Yorli. — 1. I have a very fine double gun, muzzle- 

 oader, 22-bore, 33-inch ban-el, 7 lbs. weight, what would be the 

 propel- charge of powder and shot for it ? 2. Would a 10-hore, 

 breech-loader, 8-lb. giui, be as safe as a 12-bore breech-loader of 

 the same weight ? 8. If I have my 10-bore, 8-lb. breech-loader 

 choke-bored will it be as safe as before ? -ins. 1. 23'^ di-ams powder 

 and an ounce of shot woidd be a good charge, though thi-ee drams 

 might be used without' unpleasant effects, we think. 2. Practi- 

 cally as safe, though of course the harielB of the lO-boie -would he 

 a little the thinueat. 3. Xes. 



W. jM. p.., Pliila., Pa.— My setter dog, three and a half years old, 

 broke tluough the ice two years ago and was shortly afterward 

 very bad »ith the distemper. He was cured of that, but was left 



with what was at first a very mild In-itching. It has grown on him, 

 and uow while at rest or attempting to sleep he becomes quite 

 violent, throwing his legs about, burking with his mouth shut. He 

 is worse when heated, and in warm woathei-. The trouble seems to 

 be mainly confined to the right side, limbs and all. Ans. Yom- 

 dog has chorea or St. Vitus dance, a result of distemper. There is 

 little hope of a ciu-o. He may be benefited by giving hin-i }4 grain 

 of nux vomica, with two grains quinine thi-ee times a day for a few 

 weeks. 



J. M., Chicago.— My setter pup, nine months old, is troubled 

 with diaiThma. She is very much emaciated, her coat looks rough, 

 eat« sparingly, and her eyes run to some extent and they do not 

 look vei-y bright. 1 ta-eated her for about ten days with fifteen drops 

 tincture of catechu twice a day, and fed her on such food as boUod 

 milk, beef tea and a fen- scraps from the table. She seems to be 

 getting better, but is not gaining flesh. Judging from her general 

 appearance w-hen I received her, I concluded she had worms, and I 

 accordingly gave her a small dose of pink root tea, but as she did 

 not pass any I gave up the idea, and now come to you for advice. 

 Ans. As long as the dianhrea continues, use as an injection l>y the 

 bowel fifteen drops tinctm-e of opram and fifteen drops tinctm-e of 

 catechu in a teaspoouful of starch water. 

 spoonful of castor oil in a little 



S. F., HoUidaysburgh, Pa.— While out hunting recently I shot and 

 wounded a rabbit. Knowing that the same could not go a great dis- 

 tance I sent my setter dog after him to retrieve him. Waiting about 

 five miirates, and the dog not coming back, I started in the du-ec- 

 tiou whence I supposed the rabbit had gone and, coming to a fence, 

 1 saw my dog standing half way up in a field grown partly over 

 mth weeds, having the rabbit in his mouth. Calling on my dog to 

 fetch he stUl stood there, not making any motion to come in. 



Also, give lialf a tea- 

 milk twice a day. 



Thinking something was wioug I staited toiuvtsligatt and, conung 

 near the dog, 1 found that hf w is i o utiiu si, „ ii it- Wolkm< 

 up to him I found 1 Lo^ev nt qmil -u u tjr 1 ^ 1 j i it ,1, I'l tin-

SuEscBiEEE, Columbus, O.— I have a Newfoundland dog -whieh- 

 has been lately suffering from a peculiar- trouble -with his 

 ear. I noticed one morning that one of his ears was badly swol- 

 len. I took him to a physician, who lanced his car, taking from it 

 quite a lot of blood. This operation w-as repeated three times in- 

 four days. At the second operation about half a goblet of blood,. 

 somewhat clotted, was drawn. To-day I had his ear lanced again,, 

 and a \roodeu clamp, made of tw-o sticks tied together, fi.\ed at the 

 ear to stop the flow of blood fi-om the arteries. I am anxiously 

 .w aitmg the result of this. In case the ear fiUs again (it usually 

 swells to about the thickness of an inch or more) what shall I do ?' 

 Some fever attends it, and'a general feeling of sicloiess and torpor 

 comes over tlie dog. He is very large, usually very active. Age, 

 five yeai-s in February. Ans. There is probably an anem-ism of the 

 ear lobe. Preflswe after evacuation should be used, and prohably 

 an Injection of some astringent— a« per-sulphate of iron— into the 

 cavity.
