Parturient apoplexy is liable to occur and must not be mistaken for 
epilepsy. 
Treatment. —To successfully treat fits it is necessary to as¬ 
certain and remove the cause. If from worms, and it is safe to say 
all puppies have them, Glover's Vermifuge should be adminis¬ 
tered. If from teething, as soon as the milk teeth are loose they 
should be removed, and the gums, if inflamed, lanced where the 
second teeth are endeavoring to force their way through. Bones 
should also be allowed to bite on. 
If from Indigestion or from any derangement of the gastric 
juices, the diet should consist for a time entirely of raw meat, 
chopped fine, Glover's Digestive Pills given, and the drink¬ 
ing water made one-thirtieth part of lime-water. 
If from Constipation administer at once an enema of warm 
water and glycerine, and give Glover's Liver Pills for two or 
three nights successively. 
If from nervous excitement, remove to a dark, quiet place, and 
follow these directions, which are applicable during an attack of 
epilepsy from any cause, viz., apply ice cold water to the head, 
keeping the body warm, and give Glover's Fit Medicine every 
hour until the animal is quite composed. If on the following day, 
or at any time, any unusual excitement is observed, a dose of 
the Medicine will prevent an attack. 
Animals subject to Epilepsy should never be allowed violent 
exercise immediately after feeding, but kept as quiet as possible for 
several hours. Feed no hot food, sweets or pastries, all of which 
tend to disorder the stomach, producing indigestion, which gives 
rise to fits. 
Puppies or young dogs when first taken into the street or field 
are extremely liable to fits, as new sights and noises will excite 
the nervous system: it is therefore best to gradually accustom 
them to these experiences.
