SOMETHING ABOUT DOGS.


The author OF ..The Management and Diseases ofthe
Dog" John woodrun Hill tAlbert CogsweiD, Is Eel
low of the Royal College OF Veterinary Surgeons and
brings his task a large special experience
His labors as veterinary surgeon have been sbun-
dant and successful and his essays various SUBJ
Jecs connected with HIS profession, such as "Partur
Apoplexy in the Cow, ..soms OF the Diseases OF
Farm Stock 'Diseassd Meat Article OF Food -
"Canine Disiemper." have secured for him
widespread reputation In his preface Mr. AIN very
wisely remarks that the fold which he has
entered in treating OF the enlargement and
Diseases OF the Dog Is a largo one, and ono
which hitherto, much to the discredit OF the
profession 10 which he belongs has been nexcusaby
neglected II is only recently, through the abors Of
such men as Blaine. as Youatt, as Mayhem, '.Stone
hsnge' and others, that men OF science have gwen
attention TO the diseases from which mans best
friend among the lower animals Is liable 10 suffer.
Mr.. His avowed object Is to eniightcn the pubic
and to alleviate the sunerngs OF the canine race. In
a series oil wecondensed chapters all the diseases
from which the dog is known TO suffer ars minutey
described aud Instructions gwen 10 the course
OF treatment which should DO followed The chap
ters on diseases Of the skin, on rabies,
distemper, on accidents and opera
tions are at once interesting and instruc.
tive. In the chapter oevoted to rabies
curious facts are given as 10 the effect OF milk taken
from animals which had been bitten BY dogs suffering
from tho disease. long series of experiments
by Baumgarten, valentin and others failed TO prove
that any unpleasant or injurious effects followed the
use of milk or butter obtained from cows actually
suffering from rabies On the otnsr hand, there
many positive statements on record TO the effect
that tho very worst consequences have sometimes
followed the Of mllk taken from diseased animals.
To all who have domestic psts II the shape OF dogs
to every one indeed, who Is In any way directly in
tcrested in the canine race-we heartily commend
this most useful handbook.
