near 103 degrees, though no more than four 
such doses should be given, and if they fail of 
their purpose, it is best to consult a physician 
as to the use of more powerful anti-pyretics, 
among the best of which is aconite. 
It is very important that the fever be kept 
down in any stage of the disease. 
Raw eggs and pressed beef juice should be 
fed and all additional nourishing food that the 
dog will eat. A tonic treatment of beef, iron 
and wine is advisable, in the average human 
dosage, and in the event of collapse stimulants 
may be used, but the amateur is far more likely 
to go wrong in their administration than not. 
Barring accidents and in the usual course of 
things, if the animal have proper accommodations, 
kept clean and as hygienic as a hospital, careful 
feeding and attention to the fever should be 
sufficient to afford fair chances of recovery. But 
even though this is true, the mortality figures 
still run up into enormous percentages. And 
the moral of that is simply that nobody will 
really nurse a dog. Too much drugging is in¬ 
jurious in this or any disease, and is not the 
way to insure recovery. 
It is important that the quarters occupied 
by the patient be thoroughly disinfected 
alter its removal, and that the collar worn 
should be subjected to the same treatment. 
Carelessness in this respect is sure to lead to 
eventual infection of other dogs in the kennel 
and to mystification as to the cause of con¬ 
tagion. 
Let it be repeated that there is no “cure” for 
distemper, save in the system itself, and that all 
we can now do is to give the system all the aid 
we can to keep it in perfect working order. 
If it were possible, however, as it is now be¬ 
lieved to be, to isolate the germ of distemper, it 
would follow that an anti-toxin could be pre¬ 
pared which would not only furnish a practically 
certain cure, but would provide the means of 
immunizing dogs that had not already experi¬ 
enced the disease. 
Such an anti-toxin could be prepared by any 
laboratory and administered by any individual. 
In effect it would be a collection of a large num¬ 
ber of the bodies antagonistic to the distemper 
germ but in themselves harmless, which, on in¬ 
jection into the patient, would suffice to over¬ 
come the distemper attack with certainty and in 
a short time.

single pellet from a charge of buckshot, got the 
author into a pretty mess before he finally sub¬ 
dued it. When he saw the buck on the ground, 
still breathing, the hunter naturally disliked to 
dispatch it with another charge of BBs, and his 
knife had been mislaid. While he was thinking 
what to do, the buck got on its feet and he 
grasped its antlers. The scrimmage that fol¬ 
lowed is so vividly portrayed that the reader may 
well fancy that he was a witness. It is one of 
a number of well-toid shooting experiences in 
various hunting grounds. 
Twenty Years in the Himalaya, by Major C. 
G. Bruce. Cloth, 331 pages, 60 illustrations 
and a map, $4.20 net. New York, Long¬ 
mans, Green & Co. 
As a record of exploration, travel and of the 
people, the flora and the fauna of the great 
Himalaya, this volume is a valuable addition to 
the literature of the far East, enhanced as it is 
by half tone reproductions from excellent photo¬ 
graphs. Of the people the author says that the 
mountains of Scotland and Italy present no 
greater contrasts than those to be found in the 
Hima’aya. The great difficulty and danger in¬ 
cident to mountain exploration in that region are 
evident to the reader, who also realizes that 
stalking game is not all play.

Man and Dog 
When you want to employ a man in your 
business you don’t go out and take any man 
who advertises—you select a man properly 
equipped or intelligent enough to learn to 
fill the position for which you desire him. 
The same rules should be applied, in buy¬ 
ing a dog. A bird dog seldom fills the bill 
as watch dog. You can’t make a child’s 
nurse of a Spitz dog. You don’t run rab¬ 
bits with a mastifiF. You wouldn’t drive 
sheep with a toy Pommeranian, nor can you 
hunt quail with a fox-terrier. Yet, every 
one of these animals is invaluable for a 
specific purpose, and it’s our idea to tell you 
just what dog you need, provided you will 
tell for what you want to employ it. And, 
we will tell you where to buy it. Our 
kennel editor has had years of experience 
in breeding and selecting dogs, and his ser¬ 
vices are yours for the asking. 
There are hundreds of “Dog exchanges” 
that are exactly what the name implies—■ 
they take any kind of a dog and exchange 
it for your money. They don’t breed, they 
buy low and sell high. There are many un¬ 
reliable dog breeders. They promise things 
they can’t deliver. We want to keep 
Forest and Stream readers in the chan¬ 
nel with the honest, reliable breeder, and 
will gladly do so if you will ask our advice.

HITTING vs. MISSING 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). 
Cloth. Price, $ 1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse, or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this orig¬ 
inal manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it 
original, because, as the chapters will show, the author 
was self-taught; the expedients and devices adopted and 
the forms of practice followed wer* his own. This then 
may be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and 
as it was successful in his own experience, being here 
set forth simply and intelligently, it will prove not less 
effective with others.
