If the animal does not improve on this treatment, and seems 
to lack recuperative powers, I begin a stimulating treatment, 
feeding beef tea, mutton broth and raw eggs beaten up with 
milk. 
The abdomen is generally the seat of severe intestinal disor¬ 
ders, the principal being a diarrhoea accompanied with pitchy 
discharges. I invariably treat this complication with small quan¬ 
tities of calomel, one-sixth of a grain, prepared chalk, ten grains, 
of subnitrate of bismuth and turpentine emulsions, always remem¬ 
bering if any intestinal disturbance is due to intestinal parasites, 
remove them as soon as possible using the mildest remedies on 
account of the irritable condition of the alimentary canal, areca 
nut for the tenia family and oil of wormwood for the lumbrecoids. 
The head symptoms are generally a severe complication es¬ 
pecially if attended with chorea. I put a seton in the back of the 
neck, put tr. iodine and tr. cantharides along the spine, every 
other day for two applications and give internally the following. 
ty Strychnia Sulp., grs. I 
Ext. Gent. Q. S. 
M. F. and Mass. Divide in fifty pills and put in capsules No. 
5 °- 
Sig. Give one night and morning after feeding, gradually in¬ 
creasing the dose until four a day be taken. 
Typhoid Stage .—Watch your patient carefully as this is 
the stage which I believe indicates the essence of the disease 
known as distemper, and unless the dog has been evidently sub¬ 
mitted to the contagion it cannot be pronounced to have had the 
distemper. 
I give the following tonic three times daily. 
Quinine one grain, port wine one half ounce, or cod liver oil 
one half ounce, and tr. chloride of iron ten minims, controlling 
the bowels with subnitrate of bismuth, ten grains and sulphate of 
morphia one fourth of a grain every four or six hours as ocassion 
requires.
