DOGS WITH SKIN DISEASES
SHOULD BE TREATED FOR WORMS

the dog afflicted with goiter does not
suffer much; in some instances the en-
largement appears to grow in a week,
in other cases 1t Is a month before the
glands are of any size. Weakness, de-
bility, and hard water are the chief
causes of this disorder, but II sometimes
makes its appearance in the strongest
dog.
Treatment for Goiter.
The hair over the swelling should be
cut OF close to the skin, and the part
painted over once every other day for
ten days with compound tincture Of
iodine. At first this treatment will
cause the swelling to increase a little
(the result Of infiammation). but absorp-
ton soon follows, the enlargement grad
ually decreasing. After all soreness from
the first dressings has disappeared. they
may be repeated. II necessary.
In cases Of long standing some prepara-
ton Of iodine should be given internally,
in addition to being applied externally.
Half a grain to two grains, according to
the size Of the dog, Of iodide Of potas-
sium, given in water three times a day,
half an hour after feeding, is perhaps
the most suitable for internal use; or
diluted hydrofiuoric acid, now used with
great success in human practice, may be
tried.
The dose Of the latter is, for a small
dog Of ten pounds. six drops: and for a
large one Of about $50 pounds, thirty
drops. It should be administered in
water, and the dose may be gradually
increased to thirty drops for a small
dog, and one dram for a large one.
Animals suffering from goiter should have

as a more than usually generous diet
is required.
N. B.-When having the hydronuoric
acid medicine prepared by a druggist the
diluted pure acid q in 20e should be
asked for. In some cases Of goiter It Is
necessary to remove the glands with a
knife, but this u delicate operation.

Eczema is another noncontagious skin
disease 1t is the result Of disordered
blood. 1t generally attacks the elbows,
back of the fore legs, the belly, inside
of the thighs, the skin around the eyes,
and the lips, the back, more especially
the skin Just above the tail, and some
times In bad cases the whole body.
Symptoms.
Continuous scratching, red and infiam-
ed condition of the skin, and when the
dog is white, the hair assuming rusty
color A number of minute vesicles or
blisters appear on the effected parts OF
the skin. which break and discharge

this disease are very liable to another
attack, especially in the spring anu
autumn.
Treatment for Eczema.
A dose of EPSON salts (this Is one of
the best purging medicines in skin dis
