Treatment of Gastro-Bronchitis of Dogs by In¬ 
testinal Antisepsy, and Hypodermic Injections of 
Eucalyptol. —In the Veterinary Review of Roumania, we find 
the treatment of infectious gastro-bronchitis of dogs, which is 
distemper with digestive and respiratory manifestations, rec¬ 
ommended by Mr. Firtuna, as follows: Hypodermic injections 
of a mixture of essence of eucalyptus, 20 grams, olive oil, ster¬ 
ilized with heat, 80 grams. Inject one cub. centim. to small, 
and two cub. centim. to medium-sized animals. One injection 
daily is ordinarily sufficient,* but in severe cases two or even 
three may be required. 
To these, intestinal antiseptics are added : Naphtol B, 10 
grams, salicylate of bismuth, 5 grams, powdered sugar, 20 
grams. Make fifty powders and give from three to six a day. 
Ointment against Favus (Pirogoff).—Subl. Sulphur, 
15 parts ; carbonate of potash, 4 parts ; liquid tar and tincture 
of iodine, of each, 50 parts; lard, 100 parts. Clip the hair 
short, apply a little of the ointment to soften the scabs. Re„ 
move afterwards the scabs daily, wash well and apply the 
ointment. The treatment lasts two or three weeks.
