diagnosis be at all clear, the suffering brute should be relieved 

 from pain by a friendly shot. 



As to the general pathology of this disease, little definite is 

 known ; much work has been done on tbe subject, and various 

 conclusions arrived at, but tbe evolution of tbe cruel Filaria is 

 yet veiled in mist. The embryo parasite, after undergoing 

 changes outside the body of their proper host, may be reintro- 

 duced through food, or drinking water, or the bites of insects. 

 As nO known entozoan normally completes its life cycle within 

 the body of a single host, it is certain that the adult Filaria do 

 nut propagate threadworms within the body of their canine 

 bearer. 



Tbe subject being one of such great interest, we would im- 

 press on all those interested in canine medicine the importance 

 of making post mortem examinations of the hearts of dogs 

 which die in tropical countries, and reporting their "finds," if 

 any, and preserving the worms in dilute alcohol, to be sub- 

 sequently submitted to an expert for study. Several other 

 Bpecies of nematode worms occasionally infest the dog. 

 Sinroptera sanvgtnolenta inhabits the mucous membrane and 

 the walls of the gullet and stomach, sometimes causing by 

 their presence angry tumors and ulcers. These microscopic 

 parasites may occur in great numbers in a single host, but 

 rarely seem to occasion any special symptoms. They are 

 found with some frequency in European dogs. 



The giant strongle (Eustrongylus gigas) is sometimes found 

 in dogs, but is foi tunately rare. This most hideous parasite is 

 by far the largest nematode known, the male measuring 

 nearly a foot in length, and the female a full yard, while the 

 breadth of the bodv reaches half an inch at the thickest part. 

 It occurs in a variety of animals, being specially frequent in 

 the American mink." The head is broadly obtuse, the mouth 

 being supplied with six Wart-like papilla?, The tail of the 

 male is furnished with a cup shaped bursa destitute of rays. 

 The vulva of the female is situated near the head in the ven- 

 tral line. The eggs are oval and measure 1-300 of an inch in 

 length. The embryo worms, after escaping from the body of 

 their parent's host, by some means enter the bodies of certain 

 fishes, the vast majority dying in tbe intermediate stages 

 before a piscine host is reached, and become encysted beneath 

 the peritoneal membrane. In this stage it has been described 

 under the name of Filaria cystica by some of the older writers. 

 If this cyst be ingested by an appropriate host, the cyst wall 

 is digested, the inclosed parasite liberated, and it speedily 

 develops into the great size already mentioned, after naving 

 migrated into the kidney of its suffering host, finally totally 

 destroying that valuable organ. Eight of these gigantic 

 worms have been obtained by Klein from the kidney of a 

 wolf, but generally but one, two or three worms are present 

 in a single host. 



Apart from the very general statement that raw fish of cer- 

 tain species may be dangerous food for dogs, nothing can be 

 advised in the way of prevention or medical treatment, our 

 knowledge of the life history of the worm as yet not being 

 complete. Fortunately the disease is very rare, though com- 

 mon in manj- fish-eating carnivora. 



Should a satisfactory diagnosis of Eustrongylus disease be 

 made by microscopical examination of the urine, the only 

 treatment is to operate on the kidney — if but one ; as is prob- 

 able, be affected— cutting down on the organ, slicing it open, 

 and extracting the parasites. The operation of even remov- 

 ing a kidney is not an excessively dangerous one in human 

 surgery, and if performed by a skilled veterinarian under anti- 

 septic precautions, probably nearly all the dogs operated upon 

 could be saved. 



Other round worms fo.nd in the dog, but too rarely to be 

 of any clinical importance, are the wrinkled thread worm 

 (Triclhosoma plica), which inhabits the bladder; a strongle in- 

 festing the intestine (Dochmius trigonocephalus — said to occur 

 in two per cent, of all Danish dogs), and a whipworm (Tricho- 

 cephalus) living in the coecum. Trichina spiralis is some- 

 times found in the muscles of dogs, and some three or four 

 very rare species of Filaria have been described by authors as 

 occurring in the canine race. 



The above described parasites may be considered to be the 

 only round worms of practical importance which attack the 

 domestic dog. R. W. S.

THE MASTIFF TYPE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The discussion called forth by the mastiff judging at New 

 York demonstrates the great interest which the public take 

 in this noble breed of dogs. It also shows that the decisions 

 of Dr. Perry were followed with uunsual interest, even by 

 those not in this particular fancy. 



The Westminster Kennel Club, in selecting Dr. Perry for 

 judge, reflected to themselves the honor which they conferred. 

 They were not trying a new man ; they were giving a recog- 

 nized authority an opportunity to place our leading mastiffs 

 in what he believed to be their relative positions of merit. A 

 man of this character, confident of his ability, takes his cue 

 from no previous judge. He has decided opinions, not formed 

 by reading dog show critiques, but brought to maturity 

 through years of patient study and practical 'experience in 

 breeding prize- winning mastiffs. 



1 admit that bree iing of dogs in itself would not necessarily 

 make a man a competent judge of them. One of our best 

 judges has never bred a mastiff, while the man who has given 

 least satisfaction in the ring is one of the oldest breeders. A 

 man can own dogs yet never study them. It is unfortunate 

 that some of our mastiff breeders and exhibitors know so little 

 about the breed, and it is still more deplorable that they pre- 

 fer to remain in their blissful ignorance. These men take 

 their kennel as a type and judge all dogs over the model they 

 own. Should you differ with them and attempt to point out 

 the faults of their animals they attribute your efforts to jeal- 

 ousy. The motives prompting a lover of the breed to speak 

 frankly are honorable, and are just to the dogs though they 

 may appear severe. The owners of dogs unjustly condemned 

 can rest assured that sooner or later tbeir animals will get 

 their proper places. In the long run justice comes to all. 

 Why just criticism should make enemies I cannot say, but I 

 know it to be a fact that one of the best judges in this coun- 

 try has made innumerable enemies simply because he told tbe 

 truth about the animals he criticised. 



"He did not keep to type" has been the stereotyped phrase 

 in a couple of articles I have read upon Dr. Perry's judging at 

 New York. Why? Because, say these snme articles, Ilford 

 Caution did not win first prize. I have already said in print, 

 "Ilford Caution lacks expression and character; his upper jaw 

 is too short; his muzzle is not square, as the nose recedes, giv- 

 ing him a sour, bulldog expression, the very fault we must 

 avoid in our mastiffs, but which has been brought about by 

 the intense desire for short muzzles. He is weak in hindlegs, 

 and the lack of muscular tissue is noticeable." Caution's muz- 

 zle lacks squareness ; it forms, not a right angle, but an acute 

 angle. The bulldog "lay back" is a positive malformation, 

 and is more objectionable, to my thinking, than the "hound 

 muzzle," which a dog may have and yet keep the character- 

 istic mastiff expression. Mr. Wynn, who has brought the 

 mastiff head into such prominence that a dog with a fine head, 

 but no limbs, could win easily, must admit that the shortness 

 of, Caution's upper jaw is more than even he anticipated or 

 would wish. 



Mr. Wade calls attention to Mr. Hanbury placing Prince 

 Regent over Crown Prince. Many able men believe with Mr. 

 Hanbury, that the bulldog type which Crown Prince and 

 Ilford Caution represent is not the correct type, although just 

 now it may be the more fashionable in England, We are not 

 ultra-fashionable in this country and you will notice that our 

 most popular judges give due consideration to hoavy limbs, a 

 fine body and legs that can be used for walking. 



Dr. Perry, by his awards, calls our attention to size in the 

 mastiff. A small dog can hardly be long-headed, leggy and 

 cow-hocked, while a Targe dog will naturally tend that way. 

 Prizes are given undersized dogs like Homer, rather than a 

 dog of good size and general excellence, like Boss. Again Boss 

 deserves more credit for his good limbs than Dread, who is 

 badly cow-hocked, yet a judge has made the astonishing 

 blunder of placing the latter over the former. This is what you 

 may call bad judging, because there can be no possible reason 

 for such an unjust decision. As I said before, tbe wronged 

 dog was soon given his proper place, subsequent judges giving 

 Dread vhc. and he, after which he was withdrawn from the 

 bench. 



We may not have many competent judges, but still we have 

 some, enough to prevent bench show committees from making 

 mistakes, if they keep before them a list including the names 

 of Mason, Mortimer, Watson, Exley, Maylor, Wade, Porter 

 and Dr. Perry. These judges wilf not blindly follow the 

 Wynn standard, which gives such undue prominence to the 

 head. Their records show their opinions of deformed animals, 

 no encouragement being given to cripples, they are soon missed 

 from the bench. A pointer's nose is a most important feature, 

 but without good limbs to carry him over the ground, his 

 nose would be of little use, and so it is with the mastiff, a 

 grand head is greatly to be desired, but if the animal cannot 

 use his limbs be is useless and not even ornamental. 



The Western people are now the best customers for mastiffs, 

 and the type they desire is the same which Eastern breeders 

 will try to perfect, They want size, bone, muscle and cour- 

 age. Give them these requisites and they will not quarrel 

 about the extra inch on the end of the nose. 



" Ashmont" has suggested, in a contemporary, that we 

 formulate a standard which will suit the requirments of the 

 animals in this country. He calls the A. K. C.'s attention to 

 his suggestion. I lite the idea of an acknowledged standard ; 

 but hope it will be kept out of the hands of the slow moving 

 A. K. C. , which it appears can no longer raise a quorum. Look 

 at the immense amount of time and labor they have expended 

 upon a couple of protests, out of which nothing has yet come. 

 No, if we mean real work and business, let us keep away 

 from the A. K. C. 



The American members of the Old English Mastiff Club 

 should take the matter up. The English club would no doubt 

 assist. A committee chosen from the authorities I have given 

 above would very quickly settle tbe question, whether the 

 American mastiff should be an active dog or a cripple. 



I hope those interested in the breed will see the necessity of 

 coming to an immediate and thorough understanding as to 

 what is the desirable type of the dog. I am satisfied that the 

 hearty co-operation of all mastiff lovers can be secured if 

 those whom we consider authorities will only make the move. 



I have just noticed the following paragraph in the report of 

 the New York «ho w to the London Field: "It certainly seems 

 strange that American breeders are not able to produce a 

 good-looking dog, and that all the prize winners are imported 

 animals." Had this misinforming critic visited more than 

 one dog show this spring, he would have seen mastiffs bred by 

 "Ashmont" win first prizes at Pittsburgh, Cleveland, St. Louis 

 • and Indianapolis. This fact will go far to prove that Dr. 

 Perry is not only a judge of dogs, but that he is breeding the 

 kind which our best judges pick out for prize winners.

A GIFT TO GUIDO.— Memphis, Tenn.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: In March, 1885, 1 had a day on snipe in Grand Prairie, 

 Ark., with my valued friend, honest John Davidson, the bon 

 nie Scot and stainless judge. For a- while he worked a trim, 

 wiry, eager and affectionate orange and white setter bitch 

 named Merwin, a cross of his old native stock on the imported 

 EngMsh blood. When she shot away like an arrow from a 

 steel cross-bow, I thought it was the spurt burst of speed of 

 the wire edge, but her obedience, turns, bounding pace and 

 noble carriage of head and merriest tail action I ever saw, 

 charmed me like a new revelation. Merwin, in action, is the 

 distilled essence of the poetry of motion, a delight to see. 

 Wishing to buy a scion of this strain as a rare and very valua- 

 ble acquisition, John said, ' wait a wee," so after a year's 

 waiting a lovely pair of Merwin's babies have reached me, 

 snow white, with black, drooping ears, both boys, and have 

 been christened Walter Scott and Robert Bruce. I confidently 

 look for Merwin's sons to be among field dogs what Lexington 

 was among horses and Bobbie Burns among poets, incompara- 

 ble and peerless, the sire being equal. And they were gifts', 

 none were ever more valued.— W. A. Wheatley. 



IMPORTANT SALE OF DOGS— Mr. Chas H. Mason in- 

 forms us that he has decided to retire upon his laurels and 

 that in ftiture he will not exhibit at dog shows, and that his 

 entire kennel will be sold. We are somewhat surprised at this 

 decision, as Mr. Mason has been uniformly successful as an 

 exhibitor and doubtless has won more prizes since 1880, his 

 first appearance here, than any other exhibitor in this country. 

 We are still more surprised that he should dispose of Beaufort, 

 as he is undoubtedly the best pointer in America if not in the 

 world. We have no doubt that the majority of exhibitors 

 will share the hope that ne will reconsider his decision and 

 that in the future as in the past he will be seen well to the 

 front with a string of good dogs. 



THE WAX TRE ATMENT. — Editor Forest and Stream: A 

 neighbor has given me tbe following invaluable cure for dis- 

 temper; he tried it on a dog that he says was apparently dead, 

 and what was his surprise to see him walking about quite 

 well the next morning. He showed me the dog to prove his 

 statement. The remedy is a simple one: Take a little shoe- 

 maker's wax, put it on the end of the dog's nose and he will 

 quickly recover. Another esteemed friend informs me that 

 the first litter of pups are liable to go mad and therefore 

 should be drowned. He actually did drown a fine litter of 

 collie pups last year for this very reason.— V. M. H. 



DEATH OF BELLISSIMA. — Lancaster, June 15.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream: On Saturday last I had the misfortune to 

 lose my celebrated bull bitch Bellissima. She died while 

 whelping. She had thirteen pups, the largest litter, I think, 

 oil record for one of her breed Her loss is great, I not only 

 feel that I have lost one of the best bulldogs in the world, but 

 a faithful and affectionate friend. — John E. Thayer.
