much confinement or something else wrong. But last year I had 

 a young dog talieu with distempsr and used aconite for aboLit a 

 week without any peroeptiWe iiuprovemewt, when suddenly I re- 

 membered seeing areeuic placed by a high authority as next In re- 

 liability to qninine in the treatment of fever and ague. At once I 

 gave a small dose of Fowler's Kohitiou of arsenic, and within live 

 minutes the dog brightened up and began to oat, and went on 

 steadily impi-oving until eutliely well. I afterwiu-d learned that 

 ipiite a nnraber in WiUiesbarro bad used arseuio and with the best 

 BuceesB. A. (xooriwiN. 



[TheroaE8TA3n> Stkeam has repeatedly put itsell' in rtmid as 

 to the valne of Fowlei-'s solution of arsenic in tlip trnatnieiit, of 

 dogs, and also aa pertaniing to iicoiiitR. Jlotb iigintK avft ^i)JIcut 

 poisons and should be given with great caution and good judg- 

 ment. We. dex^recale the use of aconite except by exyn-rieured 

 peraouH, becaune paralysis and other evil results of itti poiHoning 

 power are apt to ensue if carelessly given. The ancients consiri- 

 erod it the most deadly thing in nature, and modern experience 

 almost justifies this opinion. Acting directly thirmgh tJie nervous 

 system, it haa great power in diminishing excessive action of the 

 heart, and is thus of mm: in some fevers ; but great care is required 

 at the same time that loss of vitxd power does not also follow. 

 Again wo say that there is no speeifio for distemper ; the disease 

 must be treated in the various stages rationally in accordance with 

 the symptom B.] 



51 Q. D. P., Baltimore, Md.— My setter bitch lias had all the 

 hair and skin on the end of her tail worn off by whipping it against 

 the briwB, and now that the skin has healed it looks as if the hair 

 would never gi'ow again. jVns. If worn ofi' for the tirst lime the 

 hair will probably grow again, but when the hair follicles are de- 

 stroyed by repeated wUippiugs the hair will not grow and there is no 

 remedy. Give the dog's tail a rest. Many pointer's tails are 

 docked for this reason. 



52 Trp, New York City.— My pug dog, about six months old, is 

 siofc. Bhe Buffers from loss of appetite, depression and very often 

 throws up violently. I notice also a tsvitehing of the limbs when 

 asleep. The pug is carefully fed on milk, etc., and well cared for. 

 ■Will you kindly prescrilje for her '.' Ans. At her age it is quite 

 possible she is about to have distemper, A mild purgative, nich 

 as castor oil, or sulphm- followed by sulphate of magnesia will be 

 of use to her in any case. 



68 H. D. 0., Laconia, N. H.— 1 have a Gordon setter puppy, 

 mnB months old, that i would like you to prescribe for in your 

 next isauo. Her nose has always bet'U hot and diy and sue now 

 runs at the eyes very badly. Has a good appetite and is in good 

 spirits — appears well, with these exceptions. The dischargB from 

 her eyes is thick and yellow, and a quantity of it. I'leaso answer 

 in next issue. Ans. The symptoms are those of the lirst stage 

 of distemper. Give an emetic of salt and then sulphur, a few hours 

 followed by Bulpliate of maguesia ; then two grains of quinine 

 three times a day will probably do good. Keep the eyes and nose 

 cleansed with tepid water. 



54 0. 0. U., Utica, N. Y.— I have a friend who wishes me to 

 get some remedy lor bis puppy who has, as near as I can find out 

 from the deBori])tion gi\-eu in " Hallock's Gazetteer," the splenic 

 fever. His symptoms serve the description exactly. Ans. As you 

 fail to mention the breed ot dog it is impossible to give exact 

 treatment. Give every few hours castor oil and injeetions of warm 

 goapsnds and oil, and from two to five grains of iodide of potash 

 three times a day. 



55 J. C. E., S.alem, Mass. — ^Ihttve a Newfoundland dog about 

 lour years old which last summer had the mange and now it has 

 left him. He is very stiff in his hind-quarters and eeema after 

 running to be imable to get up when he has lain down to sleei). 

 Can you tell mo what I can do for him ? - Ans. The dog is suffer- 

 ing from paitial paralysis of the hiud-quiirters. The following 

 treatment will probably bo beneficial : Aduiinister infusion of dig- 

 italis, oue teaapoontul combined with fluid extract of mix vomica ; 

 one drop doses, to be gradually increased until followed by bene- 

 ficial Teaults. 



56 T. A. 8., Etna Green, lud.— The duration of (estnmi is usually 

 from ten to twenty days.

 cock was then elected uiianiinously, rieueral Wingate said that 

 General Hancock had already rendered mauy services to the asso-

 application that the Federal Goverument sent teams from the ar- 

 my to compete at Creedmoor. He has also given advice to the di-
