ILLUSTRATED STOCK DOCTOR. 
An infallible cure for the maw and round worm is a dose each day of Fahne- 
stock's vermifuge on an empty stomach, followed in two hours with castor oil.

PUERPERAL FITS. 
Sometimes after a mother has given birth to a litter of puppies, and about 
the time she begins to suckle them, she is taken with spasms or puerperal fits. 
When this occurs, place her at once in a hot bath, and immerse all except the 
head. This is, in the majority of times, unfailing in its effect.
