If your dog is sick, 
all run-down, thin and unthrifty, if his 
coat is harsh and staring, his eyes mat¬ 
terated, bowels disturbed, urine high 
colored and frequently passed—if you 
feel badly every time you look at him 
—eating grass won’t help him. 
DENT’S CONDITION PILLS 
will. They are a time-tried formula, 
that will pretty nearly make a dead 
dog eat. As a tonic for dogs that are 
all out of sorts and those that are 
recovering from distemper or are 
affected with mange, eczema, or some 
debilitating disease, there is nothing 
to equal them. PRICE, PER BOX, 
50 CENTS.

know how to treat him, write to us 
and you will be given an expert’s 
opinion without charge. Pedigree 
blanks are free for postage—4 cents a

T HE Afghan longdog is perhaps one o 
the most remarkable appearing of th 
greyhound family. His enormou; 
coat and dean face at once class him a: 
a very wonderful animal. There are ; 
few of these in England, but good sped 
mens are scarce. There is some similarity 
between the face and ears of the Afghai 
and those of the Irish water spaniel. Bu 
as we are all aware the Irish dog is curb 
coated. The Indian’s jackal is profus 
and when combed out it is silky. Thi 
longdog is used in a very hilly and stony 
country, and those who have hunted witl 
him have told me first-hand that the; 
placed great value on the profuse foo 
covering or feathering. It protected hir 
against the roughness of the terrain when 
in this longdog is called upon to help th< 
hunter. It is likely there is a considerable 
relationship between the running dogs o 
mountainous Afghanistan and those of it 
Western neighbor, Persia. In Afghanistai 
there are jackal and gazelle a-plenty. The 
native greyhound, however, is inferior ii 
speed to second-rate English dogs. Th 
climate is found to be favorable to dog 
breeding. Pointers are bred in the Kohis 
tan of Kabul and above Inlalabad—large 
heavy, slow-hunting, but very fine nose< 
and staunch; very 'like the old double 
nosed Spanish pointer. 
And with these closing remarks on India 
I am reminded that probably my space ha: 
become exhausted, although a somewha 
short paper on the longdogs and theii 
quarries of Europe, Asia, Africa, Americ; 
and Australia is quite an engaging theme 
since it brings back sweet memories o 
sport in several climes. 
KENNEL SANITATION 
' I 1 HE ignorance that many dog lover: 
display in their relations with the old 
est and most faithful companion of man 
is as extraordinary as it is unfortunate 
These remarks apply particularly to tht 
sanitation of kennels, and the treatment o 
the simple diseases of the skin to whicl 
dogs are prone. There is an old and web 
established notion that time and moderi 
medicine have not been able to clearifyj 
to the effect that the efficiency of medicim 
as applied to dogs is measured directly b.\ 
its vileness. Dogs are recklessly druggec 
with all sorts of concoctions. Tissue de 
straying ointments are applied to the skin 
and kennels of sporting dogs are delugee 
frequently with strong disinfectants tha 
have no germicidal effects. It is well foi 
the man who loves his dog to know tha' 
their stomachs respond very promptly tc 
medicine and the condition of their diges 
tive organs is always promptly reflected ir 
the appearance of their skin and their gen¬ 
eral sate of health, and finally sportsmen 
should bear well in mind that the olfacton 
sense of pointers, setters and hounds anc 
the nasal tissues of sporting dogs are in¬ 
finitely more delicate, sensitive and easib 
stupefied than those of human beings. 
What to 3’ou may appear as only a slight 
odor—one that is easily forgotten—will 
prove overpowering to the sensitive bird 
dog and will linger in his nostrils to the, 
exclusion of everything else for hours and 
days, and frequently the delicate mem¬ 
branes of the nose are permanently affected.
