sis, so common in dogs of plethoric dispositions, strychnine 
arsenate, in 1-134 of a grain, finds a most useful place ; given 
in from one to two granules at a dose, from a half hour to two- 
hour intervals, according as the exigencies of the case may re¬ 
quire. Podophyllin, 1-12 grain, three to six a day, as a laxative 
to dogs with a tendency to constipation. Lithium salicylate, 
1-6 grain granules, six to twelve a day, in scanty high colored 
urine, has proved highly beneficial with me. Camphor mono¬ 
bromated, 1-6 grain, two to three granules at a dose every three 
hours, makes a good adjunct to other treatment in pneumonia 
in dogs; my other treatment being one to two grain dose of 
quinine at three-liour intervals, and if the dog refuses to eat, 
11 Malted Milk,” administered with a spoon, and raw eggs given 
in the same manner. 
To get back to the subject, after quinine sulph., we will 
speak of quinine arsenate, in general debility, given alone or in 
conjunction with iron arsenate, is a splendid rebuilder. It is 
put up in the Abbott list in 1-67 grain granules. Arsenious 
acid, in the same size granules, is convenient for administering 
wherever this drug is indicated. Salol in 1-6 grain granules 
proves very efficient in acute rheumatism, cutting it short in a 
few hours if persisted with. Caffeine in 1-67 and glonoin in 
1-250 grain granules, are two very potent and important active 
principles to combat a collapse following a long sickness or from 
shock. Anti-epilepsy (timmerin), which consists of atropine 
sulphate, 1-600 of a grain, and glonoin 1-500 of a grain, in one 
granule, proves very efficient in my hands in the treatment of 
epileptic fits in dogs, causing a dilation of the capillaries and 
relief of brain symptoms, and general relaxation of muscular 
tension, very promptly. Calcium sulphide in 1-12 grain tab¬ 
lets is one of the best in the list, having such a wide range of 
usefulness. It is useful in skin diseases by its property of caus¬ 
ing the cessation of suppurating processes, hence its application 
in mange, eczema, pustular dermatitis, etc., and from its newly 
discovered property as an anaphrodisiac, is usefully adminis¬ 
tered in young, growing house-dogs, at that annoying age when
