SPRATT’S 
Foods for Dogs Poultry and Pet Stock 
We continue to manufacture our foods, but the restrictions of the Food 
Administrator and our resolve to conform to the spirit as well as the letter 
of the law makes it increasingly difficult to supply the enormous demand. 
We also foresee a period during which most of our Dog Foods will have 
to be sold in a granular form. We urge our customers to begin at once 
to make at least a part of their order for

will. They are a time-tried formula, 
that will pretty nearly make a dead

debilitating disease, there is nothing 
to equal them. PRICE, PER BOX,

HOME TREATMENT 
FOR AILING DOGS 
By MEDICUS 
T HE result of exposure and lack of 
care is often manifested in inflamma¬ 
tion of a joint. The joint usually is 
swollen and very painful and the victim is 
lame and unable to place the foot on the 
ground. During acute inflammation rest 
is necessary and applications of either cold 
or hot water will give relief, or the two 
may be alternated. The following lotion 
should be used: Laudanum, two drams; 
Goulard’s extract of lead, one dram; water 
to make six ounces. Saturate a piece of 
lint large enough to go around the joint 
with this lotion and cover with a piece of 
silk and bandage in position. This dress¬ 
ing should be changed three times a day. 
Keep the bowels open. 
Asthma is most common in old dogs and 
those which have led sedentary lives and 
accumulated an excess of fat. The symp¬ 
toms are much the same as in people— 
heavy breathing, troublesome cough, and if 
the ear is applied to the chest a cracking 
noise is heard with each inspiration. The 
heart is usually weak and the pulse ir¬ 
regular. The treatment is to open the 
bowels with aperient medicine, which 
should be repeated as often as may be nec¬ 
essary to keep them open. Do not over¬ 
exercise, as the heart and lungs usually 
are not strong enough to stand the strain. 
Be very careful about the diet, avoiding 
all starchy food, sweets, and pastry, and 
in the way of medicinal treatment, give 
from ten drops to a teaspoonful of glyco- 
herroin in water three or four times a day. 
O LD dogs are sometimes affected with 
apoplexy and an attack comes on 
suddenly. The patient falls to the 
ground and loses consciousness, the tongue 
turns dark, the eyes protrude and are con¬ 
gested, and the victim may remain uncon¬ 
scious for some time. Many cases are fol¬ 
lowed by paralysis. If the muscles of the 
neck are paralyzed on one side the heac 
is held only on one side. Blindness is a 
frequent result. The treatment is to give 
from one teaspoonful to four tablespoon¬ 
fuls of castor oil mixed with half the 
quantity of buckthorn syrup. Place the 
patient in a hot bath and apply an ice pacl> 
to the head. If the dog is having convul 
sions do not attempt to force anything 
down its throat, but between convulsion: 
give from two to fifteen grains of bromide! 
of potassium and from one to eight graini 
of hydrated chloral in water, and repea 
every two or three hours until the con 
vulsions stop. The diet should be easil;' 
digested, light soup or milk with breai 
or dog cakes. 
Cataract is a common trouble whicl 
takes the form of an opaque spot in tb 
pupil of the eye. The following ey 
lotion will somewhat improve the sigh 
and the appearance of a dog affected witl 
cataract, but it will not cure: Solution 0 
atropine, ten drops; sulphate of zinc, one 
half grain; water to make one ounce; fiv 
drops in the affected eye three times a da\
