Reduced Iron, 6 grains to 36 grains.[1] Sulphate Magnesia, ½ drachm to ½ ounce. Mix. Divide into 12 powders—one to be given twice a day with food. When the dog is in poor condition, or when the skin is very dry and scurfy, try the following pills after the powders have been given for a time:— _Recipe_: Arsenious Acid ⅛ grain to ½ grain.[1] Reduced Iron, 6 grains to 36 grains. Ext. Gentian, _q.s._ Mix. Make 12 pills—one to be given twice a day. =Elbow, Capped=: _Symptoms_: The point of the elbow is hard, swollen, and tender, causing the dog to go lame, or at any rate rather stiff. It is generally the result of an injury. _Treatment_: At first try hot fomentations, which continue three or four times daily for some days; then apply the following lotion, dabbed on frequently:— _Recipe_: Goulard’s Extract of Lead, 1 drachm. Laudanum, 1 ” Spirits of Wine, 4 drachms. Water to 8 ounces. Later, if the swelling continues, rub gently into the swollen part a little colourless tincture of iodine or iodine vasogen once a day. It is essential in these cases to keep a good soft bed under the dog. =Emaciation=: _Symptoms_: Loss of condition and spirits, paleness of the mouth and conjunctivæ membrane. _Treatment_: First give medicine to remove worms; also cod-liver oil, from half a teaspoonful[1] to a tablespoonful two or three times a day after food, and from one to eight grains[1] saccharated iron two or three times a day. _Diet_: Feed liberally, allowing plenty of meat, mixed with Spratt’s malt and cod-liver oil biscuits; also give plenty of milk to drink. =Emetics=: The most effectual one is hydrochlorate of apomorphia; dose, from one-twentieth to one-sixth of a grain[1] in a teaspoonful of water. When given injected under the skin, it acts almost instantaneously. Tartar emetic, from a quarter[1] to one and a half grains, shaken dry on the back of the tongue. If vomiting should not be induced in about ten minutes, a few spoonfuls of warm water should be given. Ipecacuanha wine, from half a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful[1]; repeated in ten minutes if vomiting not induced, and again ten minutes later if necessary. In cases of emergency, common salt may be given, from sufficient to cover a sixpence to a teaspoonful[1] in warm water. =Emissions=: This nuisance is, as a rule, more troublesome amongst puppies than adult dogs, for generally after they are a year old the bad habit ceases. _Treatment_: A course of bromide is sometimes useful, but if the habit continues after the dog is two years old castration is the only thing that is of any use. This operation, which can be done under chloroform, does not alter a dog’s nature as much as many people think, and when he is only required as a pet there is nothing to be said against it. =Emphysema=:
