sease, and that if dogs are to be sent to them they should be 
larantined on their return and not allowed to come in contact 
ith those that have not had an attack of distemper ; or would 
ggest washing with water and disinfectants. In cases where 
ie or more puppies in a litter were affected, by giving the 
salthy ones a mild laxative dose of medicine, I have noticed 
at the rest of them escaped, or only had a mild type of the dis- 
se. For this I would prefer the use of grey powder, to be fol- 
wed a few hours later with castor oil, proportioning the dose 
cording to the size and age of the dog. After recovery I would 
ggest that the kennels and utensils be properly disinfected and 
rnned. 
Treatment. —It would be difficult to mark out any direct line 
treatment, as the disease varies. The indications are to treat 
e symptoms as they occur, keeping the dog in a well ventilated, 
^an apartment. Some recommend emetics, others cathartics, 
it in my opinion the main thing to look to in the beginning is 
e stomach, which, if attended to, it will be found easier to treat 
3 other symptoms. Give the animal as much nourishment of 
easily digested kind as is consistent; such as beef tea, lime- 
iter in milk, brandy and water, etc., and after the febrile symp- 
tns disappear use tonics.
