Treatment —The animal should be placed in warm, dry 
quarters, and hygienic conditions strictly observed. There should 
be sufficient ventilation without draughts. 
With puppies I would advise at the start giving Glover s 
Vermifuge, as nearly all have worms, which add greatly to the 
irritation of stomach, bowels and nervous system, present in dis¬ 
temper. 
The bedding should be changed daily and the apartment dis¬ 
infected twice a week. 
Feed frequently on easily digested, nutritious diet, such as beef 
tea or mutton broth, thickened with rice. Let all food be slightly 
cool, and keep fresh cold water at all times within reach of the 
animal. If constipation be present, give warm water and glycerine 
enemas, and an occasional dose of castor oil if necessary. Should 
the bowels become too much relaxed, with any tendency to inflam¬ 
mation, feed entirely upon farinaceous food, such as rice, arrow- 
root, farina or corn starch with well boiled milk, as even beef 
tea is somewhat of an irritant 1o the stomach and bowels. In case 
of persistent Diarrhoea with possibly blood and mucus in the 
movements, with frequent desire to relieve the bowels, accom¬ 
panied by straining, but a few drops being passed at a time, give 
Glover's Diarrhoea Medicine which will allay irritation, heal 
and tone the bowels to a normal condition. When symptoms of 
distemper first appear Glover's Distemper Medicine should be 
given and persisted in for several days after all symptoms have 
disappeared, to insure perfect recovery. An animal may have 
so far recovered that the owner considers it unnecessary to give 
further medicine, the suspension of which will often result in a re¬ 
lapse, recovery from which is uncertain. In the treatment of dis¬ 
temper, one great object is to keep up the general strength, so in 
case of extreme debility a little whiskey in milk or water may be 
allowed. 
The eyes should be bathed with warm water two or three times 
a day to keep them free from mucus; it will besides help to keep 
down inflammation. Should film form over the eyes or ulceration 
of the eyes or eyelids occur Glover's Eye Lotion may be used
