If bismuth does not stop the diarrhœa, try the pills as per prescription below:— _Recipe: The Pills for Diarrhœa_: Powdered Extract of Kino, 1 drachm. Powdered Ipecacuanha, 8 grains. Powdered Opium, 6 ” Mix, and divide into 12 pills. _Dose_: From half to two pills to be given three or four times a day.[1] In complications affecting the lungs, as soon as they are noticed the chest should be sewn up in gamgee wool covered over with flannel. I have no faith in ordinary liniments; and poultices, unless they are applied by a professional hand, often do more harm than good. In very acute cases the hair may be closely cut off over a small patch on each side of the chest, and strong liniment of iodine applied with a camel’s-hair brush. This may be repeated in four hours, and again four hours later, if the application has not made the skin inflamed and swollen. Of course, the size of the patch must vary according to the size of the dog—from a five-shilling piece to the palm of the hand. No very special medicine is required unless the heart is affected, which is often the case, when the following mixture is useful:— _Recipe: The Mixture_: Tincture Digitalis, 1 drachm. Tincture Nux Vomica, 1 drachm. Concentrated Solution of Acetate of Ammonia, 2 drachms. Water to 6 ounces. From one[1] to four teaspoonfuls to be given every four or six hours, according to the severity of the symptoms. If the fever is very high, from two[1] to ten grains of bicarbonate of potash may be added to each dose. Some brandy may also be given with advantage, from ten[1] drops to a dessertspoonful every two or three hours, given as previously recommended.
