If Your Dog Is Sick 
Look to His Kidneys 
If they are out of order 
he will be sensitive 
across the loins, his urine will be 
high-colored and frequently voided, 
his coat will be harsh and staring, 
his eyes blood-shot, skin unhealthy 
and saliva ropy. 
For this condition nothing equals 
Dent’s Tablets, a kidney alterative 
and diuretic, good for man or beast.

dog. Particularly the _ species 
that have been developed to act 
as partners to man in his various 
shooting activities. I shot ducks for 
many years before I owned a retriever, 
and it was not until I came into pos- 
ession of a fine little Irish spaniel 
which I trained personally, that I real- 
ized what I had been missing in that 
great sport. I am sure that a good 
retriever must be given credit for at 
least one-half the charm of a duck 
blind. 
The alert attention to everything 
that takes place, the keenness of eye- 
sight, are of real service to the shooter. 
A good retriever often marks the ap- 
proach of a duck before it is noticed 
by the shooter. While sitting in a 
blind with my Irishman I was often 
warned of the approach of a duck sim- 
ply by listening for any change in the 
breathing of the dog. 
The moment a bird was spotted com- 
ing in our direction there would be 
noticed a sudden catch in the breath- 
ing of my dog. This always meant 
game sighted and possible action. 
However, I once made the acquain- 
tance of one of these spaniels that pos- 
sessed every requirement of a retriever 
except one. He loved to be in a blind

tertainment at camp when the shooter 
returned. Many and varied were the 
brands of oratory offered concerning 
the dog and his inefficiency. 
When Louie Marat arrived in camp 
he offered our opportunity again to wit- 
ness the return of a much-scared dog, 
after the usual procedure. But, in this 
particular case we also wanted to hear 
Louie’s description of his experience, 
upon his return to camp. 
Louie decided to transport his outfit 
by canoe across a few hundred yards 
of water to an island where he ex- 
pected to have some good shooting. 
The dog entered the canoe without any 
coaxing and promptly curled up in the 
sun and went to sleep. Louie loaded 
in his decoys and shooting outfit and 
started for the island. Those of us 
that knew of his departure sat around 
waiting for action. We got it, but 
sooner than we expected. 
WHEN about half-way to the island 
a bluebill duck came straight over 
Louie and offered a nice shot. He could 
not resist. Grabbing his gun he tried 
a snap shot. With the report that dog 
came out of his slumber into a night- 
mare of hideous reality. He came out 
physically as well as mentally. Straight 
up into the air he came for about ten 
feet. And when he came down it was 
tt 
or on a pass with anyone who was out 
for ducks. But he was incurably gun- 
shy. He seemed as enthusiastic and 
eager for action as the shooter until

would start for anywhere else. But 
next day he would follow the gunner 
and do his stunt all over again. 
When Louie finally reappeared he was 
standing on the lake bottom with the 
water about up to his neck. 
He righted the canoe almost clear of

water, then searched around until he 
recovered his gun, but made no effort 
to retrieve the shells as they had been 
lying loose in a shell case which was 
now floating peacefully on the lake. 
It took a few moments to gather up 
the decoys and place them in the canoe, 
but when this was done Louie found 
that he could not get aboard without 
danger of another turnover. So he 

HAT dog was of no use around 
camp except for the entertainment 
that he afforded. It was great sport 
to equip an unsuspecting new arrival 
with this retriever, await their arrival 
at a blind, and then watch for action 
when the first shot was fired. That 
dog would leave the blind with about 
the same speed as that charge of shot,
