When the sickness is conquered, the following should be administered:--

Powdered nux vomica A quarter of a grain to a grain.
Sulphate of iron One grain to four grains.
Extract of gentian Sufficient to make a pill.

The above may be repeated every four hours until the stomach is quiet; but
it is not always tranquillized; sickness may return, and the pills may
possibly seem to aggravate it. If such should appear to be the case, try

Acid hydrocyanic, L.P. One drop to four drops.

Water A sufficiency.

The ether and opium must also he persevered with, regulating the last of

Food should consist of cold broth, slightly thickened with ground rice,

Carbonate of soda Three grains to twelve grains.
Carbonate of ammonia Half a grain to two grains.

Powdered quassia A sufficiency.

The above is for one pill, which should be repeated four times daily, and
continued for some days; when, if the dog seems quite recovered, a course
of the quinine tonic pills, as recommended for distemper, will be of use;
but should any suspicion be created of the disorder not being entirely

Sporting dogs are frequently sent to me suffering under what the
proprietors are pleased to term "Foul." The history of these cases is soon
known. They have been withdrawn from the field at the close of the season,
