This trouble seems to be inherited by some breeds of dogs, such, as Italian greyhounds, Blenheim spaniels, Maltese terriers and white Toy poodles. In these cases a strong astringent will do harm and induce inflammation. Bathing with an infusion of green tea will have a good effect, and the use of the following simple eye lotion will do much good. I use it for any ordinary inflammation due to a cold. Take 2 grams of ordinary rochelle salts to 2 ounces of rose water and drop in eyes twice a day. Being a cheap remedy, I also bathe the eyes with it instead of water, a six ounce mixture only costing a dime of any reasonable druggist. This weakness may arise from a slight inflammation. A purge if the dog is gross and fat, and you can use the following Lotion for Weak Eyes:

Sulphate of zinc............................. 12 grains.

Laudanum ................................. 1/4 ounce.

Distilled water............................. 6 ounces.
