diarrhoea, mucus passed with or following an action of the bowels, 
caked nose, perverted appetite, the animal swallowing foreign 
substances, such as ashes, coal, straw, bits of wood, etc. Pallid 
visible membranes, especially in puppies, and a bloated appearance 
of the abdomen while thin elsewhere. Harsh, staring condition of 
the coat, dragging the hind part on the ground in a sitting position, 
all indicate the existence of some variety of worms. 
Treatment. -Among the old-fashioned remedies for worms 
are powdered glass, tin filings, turpentine and Areca nut, all of 
which are extremely irritating to the mucous membrane lining the 
stomach and intestines. The most dangerous of these is Areca nut, 
which I have known to kill so many dogs that I am greatly opposed 
to its use. If fresh ground, I believe it will produce gastro-enteritis 
(inflammation of stomach and bowels) ; if stale it is quite inert. 
As little or no action is derived from the use of vermifuge when 
there is food in the stomach, the animal should be fasted for at 
least twelve hours before administering it, and not fed sooner than 
two hours after. The advantages that I claim for Glover*s 
Vermifuge over all others are, that while being equally effica¬ 
cious, it is perfectly harmless to use, that it does not irritate the 
alimentary tract, but allays any irritation having been caused by 
worms, and that it does not need to be followed by a purgative, 
as is the case with others. As nine-tenths of all puppies have 
worms when born, I have always made it a rule to give those of 
my breeding some Vermifuge as soon as weaned, or even before, 
if I considered the case urgent. My idea is to get rid of the 
worms before they have done damage. For dogs with delicate 
stomachs I make a Worm Capsule. 
For Tape-Worm I have, after long experimentation, succeeded 
in producing a capsule which is being used with the greatest satis¬ 
faction. Its merits consist of its harmless character and effective¬ 
ness in eradicating this most obstinate variety of worms. Direc¬ 
tions for the use of Glover*s Tape-Worm Capsules will be 
found in each package. 
For Maw Worm I would advise my Worm Capsules or
