A great many dogs suffer from an inflammation and excited state of the organs of generation, having frequent partial erections, with a discharge of a thick yellowish matter, very loathsome if in a house dog. Treatment consists in bathing the parts frequently with cold water, giving quite a strong dose of ordinary black draught and the following medicine:

Bicarbonate of soda........................ 2 drams.

Bicarbonate of potash ...................... 2 drams.

Tincture of henbane....................... 3 drams.

Mindererous spirit ......................... 1 1/2 ounce.

Water to make ........................... 6 ounces.

Dose for a toy dog up to 20 lbs. a teaspoonful four or five times a day. Larger dogs a tablespoonful. The prepuce should also be syringed with weak Condy's Fluid or a lotion of boracic acid, one scruple to six ounces of water. Give the dog barley water to drink and very little meat. Milk and broth with chopped green vegetables (cooked) would be most suitable in such cases.
