{ Dog Love 



Some one asked Landseer, the great 

 artist, " How is it you paint dogs so 

 well?" The answer was: "Because I 

 love dogs." 



Most readers of Recreation are famil- 

 iar with Landseer's famous picture, " The 

 Shepherd's Chief Mourner?" which is 

 crudely shown here. There is the deep- 

 est pathos in that picture. The dog sits 

 beside the coffin of his master, in an atti- 

 tude as pathetic as that of a father bend- 

 ing over his dead son. 



Dogs are almost human. They have 

 ailments and diseases much the same as 

 men. They should have medical atten- 

 tion often when they are neglected. 

 Every true lover of dogs ought to keep a 

 supply of 



Sergeant's Condition Pills 



a preparation that has stood the test of 

 time. It is for the cure of Distemper, 

 Mange, Loss of Appetite, Fevers and 

 General Debility. It restores the healthy 

 functions, increases strength and gives 

 vigor of action to the system. It makes 

 sick dogs well. 



Price 50 cents and $1.00 a box. By mail, 

 postage prepaid.

for Canine Worms are just what the 

 name implies. They rid the puppies' 

 systems of worms, and induce healthy 

 growth. Strength is imparted to bones 

 and muscles, and a vigorous constitution 

 is insured. Price, 50 cents. Sent any- 

 where by mail. 



The usual trade discount is allowed to 

 keepers of large kennels if Sergeant's 

 Dog Remedies are ordered in lots of a 

 dozen or more at a time.

Talkin' about love an' all 

 This high-flown affection, 

 Why, man alive, you can't call 

 It love at all, in connection 

 With that of a dog. 



No use argyin' one way or t'other, 

 This question's settled in my estimation, 

 Feller for gal, and child for mother, 

 May be called love, but it ain't in relation 

 With that of a dog. 



Jest read the papers, that's all to it ; 

 Breaches of promise an' sich like actions, 

 Man sez he'll do, and then won't do it, 

 Life's chuck full of sich transactions; 

 'Tain't so with a dog. 



When a dog loves yer, he loves yer 



Through thick and thin in the same queer 



fashion ; 

 'Tain't nothin' like them turtle doves yer 

 Read about with their silly passion, 



This love of a dog. 



I've tried women, also hosses, 

 An' ain't got nothin' to say agin either, 

 But fer downright lovin'.when hard luck crosses 

 Yer path, I tell yer neither 

 Is shucks to a dog.
