. Diseases of dogs, their causes, symptoms, and treatment to which are added instructions in cases of injury and poisoning. Dogs. 6 DISEASES OP DOGS. tube of about IJin. long. The bottle is gi-aduated and correctly marked to show measurements of teaspoonfuls and tablespoonfuls, so that in case of a number of patients requiring to be drenched— say, with a tablespoonful each—six can have their allotted dose given without re-measurement or re-filling of the Fig. 2. Dalziel's Measure and Drencher for giving Medicines to Dogs. In filling the bottle, the flexible tube is doubled up to prevent escape of the fluid, whilst the requisite quantity is poured in at the top. The forefinger of the right hand is then placed on the mouth, and this completely controls the flow of liquid through the tube. The end of the tube -nith the bone in it is then inserted well back in the dog's mouth, and the operator having full command over the contents of the drencher, by raising his forefinger from the mouth of the bottle, lets the medicine run fast or slow, as he sees the dog swallow, until the full dose has been given. This is better suited to giving thin, flowing liquids than the mucilaginous drench referred to, or even castor oil, which runs very slowly. Another simple yet effective way of giving liquid medicine to a dog is by means of the appliance shown at Fig. 3. As wiU be seen it consists of a cow's horn from which the top and bottom have been sawn. A finger is kept over the small opening while the dose is poured in the larger one, into which afterwards a cork is fitted. The horn can then be stood in any convenient spot until the dog is.
