The dogs of Great Britain, The dogs of Great Britain, America, and [other] countries : their breeding, training, and management in health and disease,comprising all the essential parts of the two standard works on the dog dogsofgreatbrita00wals Year: 1914 346 INFLAMMATIONS. To remove fleas and lice :— Jfix soft soap with as much carbonate of soda as will make ft into a thick pasLu; r-ib this well into the roots of tiic huir all over the dog's body, aildini:; a liUic liot wator, so as to tlu; opcrai or to compleiely saturate the skia with it. Let it remaiu on for half an hour, tlicn put the dog iwro a warm bath for ten minutes, letting hisn quietly soak, and oow aad then ducking his head under. Lastly wash tiic soap completely out, and dry before the fire, or at exercise, if the weather is nut too cold. This, after two or three repetitions, will completely cleanse the foulest skin. Dry remedies for lice and ticks :— Break up the lumps of some white precipitate, then with a hard brush <ub it well into the roots of the bair over the whole body. Get rid of the superfluous powder from the external surface of the coat b}' means of light brushing or rubbing with a cloth. Place a muzzle on, and leave the dog with the powder in the coat for five or six hours. Then brush all well out, reversing the hair for this purpose, and the ticks and lice will all be found dead, A repetition at the expiration of a week will be ne- cessary, or even perhajs a third time. Or, use the Persian Insect-destroying Powder, which seems to answer well. Or, the following wash may be tried: Acetic acid 3| ounces; borax, i drachm ; distilled water, 4 ounces. Mix, and wash into the roots of the hair.
