The brute creatior resents all efforts to coax them to such a violation of the laws of nature. Is not man an animal P Do not animals, without excep¬ tion, sleep immediately after eating ? The lion roars in the forest until he has found his prey, and when he has devoured it he sleeps until he needs another meal. The horse will paw at night in the stable, and the pig will squeal all night in the pen, refusing all rest or sleep until they are fed. Do we not feel like sleeping after each day’s last meal ? and is it not by an effort that we shake off sleep ? Evidently the body yearns for sleep. Exercise immediately after each meal is pernicious; rest is healthful. What rest can compare with sleep, which reposes the mind, the lungs, and even the heart P Man can train himself to the habit of sleeping without a preceding meal, but only after long years of practice. ^he sleep which comes to adults long hours after partaking of food, and when the stomach is nearly or quite emoty is not after the type of infantile repose. There is all the difference in the world between the sleep of refreshment and the sleep of exhaustion. To sleep well the blood that swells the veins in our head during our busy hours must flow back, leaving a greatly diminished volume behind the brow that lately throbbed with such vehemence. To digest well this blood is needed in the stomach and nearer the fountains of life. It is a fact established beyond the possibility ] £ contradiction that sleep aids digestion, and that the process of digestion is conducive to refreshing sleep. It needs no argument to convince us of this mental relaxation. The drowsiness which always follows the well- ordered meal is of itself a testimony of nature to this fact. See the peasants ; no persons enjoy better 4 health than they do. Supper is the best meal of their day. No sooner have they supped than they go to bed. Look at the actors There was Rubin i, who dined at three, went to his dressing-room in the, Italian Opera House, and slept until the theatre opened its door$. At midnight he supped heartily, and went to bed He died of sheer old age. It was the habit of the late Mon. Thiers, the moment he had dined, to stretch himself out to sleep, and to sleep an hour. The truth is, if you look around you there will be found that the great majority of men go to sleep immediately after making their best meal and you certainly never saw any¬ where in the world healthier, stronger women than those of the great markets. What is their life ? Dinner, and to bed. Take another, the very opposite class- astronomers. They keep late hours ; their best meal is taken when the stars say good¬ night ; then they go to sleep. Did you ever hear of an astronomer dying under a hundred P The majority of mechanics and servants go to sleep immediately after eating their best meal. They are right; they obey nature's voice, which always gives judicious counsel. Four or five hours having elapsed sincer the last meal, invalids and the delicate should always eat at bedtime. This seems heretical, but it is not. Food of simple kind will induce sleep. Animals after eating instinctively sleep. Human beings become drowsy after a full meal. Why F Because blood is solicited towards the stomach to supply the juices needed in digestion. Hence .the brain re¬ ceives less blood than during fasting, becomes pale, and the powers become dormant. Sleep, therefore, ensues. This is physiological. The sinking sensation in sleeplessness is a call for food. Wakefulness often is merely a sympton of hunger. Gratify the desire and you will fall asleep. The feeble will be stronger at dawn if they eat on going to bed. Fourteen hours lie between supper and breakfast By that time the fuel of the body has become expended. Consequently the morning toilet fatigues many. Let such eat at bedtime and take a glass of warm milk or beef tea before rising. Increased vigour will result, “But the stomach must rest.” True. Yet' when hungry we shout d ©at. Boos tho infant’s stomach rest iek long as t' " ,a ' "" ' - ! ■••' 'alter eats >ess ofte; merely be¬ cause his food requires more tune fo digestion. Seldom can one remain awake till half. past ten or eleven in the evening without hunger. Satisfy it, and sleep will be sound. During the night give wakeful children food, bleep will follow. The siek should invariably eat dunng the night. This is imperative. All night the children and delicate may take warm milk, beef tea, or oatmeal gruel. Vigorous adults may also eat bread and milk, cold beef, mutton, chicken and bread/raw oysters “~all, of course an moderation. Do not eat if not hungry. Eat if you are. §N compiling a list of herbs used in botanic prafe ties, it is almost impossible, or at least uot necessary, to give a complete description of all the plants used medicinally — therefore, those that we know are the most useful have been described at some length, whilst those *ffiat are not so well known have their properties simply given. A rule for the preparation of the various par™* of the plant for medicinal use can scarcely be given, but generally speaking roots and barks when dried should be boiled, and a decoction made, whilst the dried leaves and other parts of the plant should be prepared by infusion with boiling water. One ounce of dried root or herb should make a pint of decoction or infu¬ sion of a sufficient strength for a wineglassful dose in the case of simple herbs, but where a plant is known to possess powerful properties, the strength must be modified. Spirits of Wine is the best preservative for decoc¬ tions an# infusions where it is desirable to keep them for some time, but freshly made preparations are always the best. When a herb is prescribed for a certain complaint it is scarcely ever used alone, some other herb being given as an adjunct, either to modify its action, to stimulate its action, or to assist in some way the pro¬ perties which it is known to possess. We have tried, as far as possible, to overcome this difficulty and to get a combination of hei’bs which would assist the action of any herb given for any particular disease. \ A list of the same are as follows : — Green Broom and Buchu, or Kidney and Bladder Herbs. Scutallaria (Skullcap), or Nervine Herbs. Sarsaparilla Blood Herbs. Hops, Mandrake and Dandelion, or Tonic and Bitter Herbs. Compound Pennyroyal, or Female Herbs. Pile and Fistula Herbs. Ground Ivy, or Blood Herbs. Tansy and Rue, or Worm Herbs. Compound Horehound, or Cough and Cold Herbs. „ Camomile, or Tonio and Bitter Herbs. „ Dandelion, or Liver Herbs, Marshmallow, or Fomentation Herbs. Diuretic Herbs. Herbal Tonic Mixture. A combination of Strengthen¬ ing and Tonio Herbs. LOSS OF APPETITE. This may be considered as symptomatic of many ferer, indigestion* constipation, etc. It generally attends all these, and many more, as it often does an uncqntrollable and anxious mind. Sedentary habits a.nd want of proper exercise, often result in loss of appetite, , arising from derangement of the digestive organs ; so does breathing impure air, exces¬ sive drinking, or anything by which the tone of the stomach becomes injured, and the general health im¬ paired. The proper remedy for loss of appetite must depend, of course, upon the cause of it. Bitter medi¬ cines, such as Peruvian bark, gentian, calumba, camo¬ miles, etc., are all good, and are those which usually lead to its restoration ; fresh ajr and moderate exer¬ cise will also assist, but all will be in vain while the cause remains untouched. Bitters for Loss of Appetite :■ — Gentian Hoot, 1 ounce. Calumba Root, 1 ounce. Bitter Orange Peel, £ ounce. Slice small and put irto a jug, and pour “over them a pint and a half of boiling water ; when quite cold, strain off, and, if agreeable, add half a quartern of brandy. Dose. — A small wineglassful, half an hour before meals. FANCIFUL and VARIABLE APPETITES Have also their origin in some functional disturbance, but is more commonly met wihb in persons suffering from intestinal worms. Sometimes a child will, at one time, eat voraciously, and at another, scarcely any¬ thing at all. If with this symptom there should be irritation, itchings, pallor, disturbed rest, gnawing painS in the bowels, etc., have recourse to the remedies under the heading “ Worms.” BILIOUS and LITER COMPLAINTS. The bile is a peculiar oily or soapy fluid, secreted from the blood by the liver. The process of secretion and diffusion of bile appears to be this : the dark venous blood passing through the liver on its way back to the heart is there divested of its noxious matter, consisting largely of carbon, and so rendered fit for re¬ entering into the arterial circulation. A portion of the matter thus separated from the blood is bile, which is discharged into the bowels, and there mixes with the digested food, and pei'forms the important office of fitting it for absorption into the system, and the bile thus mixed with the elements of nutrition becomes also absorbed. It is the colouring matter of bile chiefly which is discharged from the bowels of one in a good state of health, giving its peculiar tint to the excrement. When, owing to some functional derange¬ ment this matter is absorbed into the blood, and mixes with the circulation, we may observe this yellow tint on the surface of the skin. If the elements of the bile are not properly mixed and assimilated with the food they act like a narcotic poison, causing headache, sick¬ ness, and all that class of distresing symptoms which are included in the diseases generally known as LIVEE COMPLAINTS, OE BILIOUS DISOKDKR8. These complaints are of very frequent occurrence, and there is no doubt that a vigorous state of the system •etmtiofc 'be, unless there ss a due secretion of bile. Then, again, the healthy action of the liver depends so much upon the state of the stomach and digestive or¬ gans, and all these parts act and react so much upon eaoh other, that there is frequent derangement and indisposition. DEFICIENCY OF BILE may be known to exist by the pale colour of the mo¬ tions, irregular action of the bowels, etc. There is generally pain between the shoulders, a sensation of fulness in the region of the stomach, and great mental and physical depression. Where there is much debility, malt and alchoholic liquors should be avoided; daily exercise of alight and not fatiguing character should be taken ; the mind should be re¬ lieved as much as possible of business cares and per¬ plexities, and relaxation sought in cheerful society ; the pores of the skin relieved of obstructions by warm baths and sponging ; and if the bowels are obstinate, it is better to resort to clysters of warm soap and water, rather thaa.to persist in the use of purgatives. Children, especially those of fair complexion and weakly habit, often tuffer from this deficiency of bile, and in this case the system must be strengthened by tonics. BILIOUS DIARRHIEA, or what is commonly called English cnolera, is another form of this disease, very common to those given to excessive indulgence in the pleasures of the table. More carbon is taken mto the system in the shape of oily, fatty and sugary matter, than can be absorbed and assimilated ; the biliary passages become clogged, respiration is impeded, and the whole work of diges¬ tion and nutrition becomes difficult, if not impossible. Nature then makes great efforts to get rid of the superfluous matter, hence vomiting and purgingensue ; but previous to this the patient has admonitory hints in the shape of headache, accompanied by sickness, pains in the back and stomach, heat and constriction in the throat, a weight at the eh-ast, and dimness of vision, with floating specks anu: other optical illusions. Idle and sedentary lvabits also, and breathing an im¬ pure and heated atmosphere, are causes of excessive secretion of bile. Large and luxurious eaters should also be great walkers ; it is only by physical activity that the functions of respiration, circulation, etc., can be kept in healthy action, and if too much is given for these organs to perform, they should at least have all the assistance that can be rendered them. That want of exercise has much to do with biliary derange¬ ments is proved by their greater prevalence among females, especially of the middle and upper classes. They would, no doubt, be much more prevalent with them, were it not for the periodic relief which the system finds, the stoppage of which often causes a bilious attack. It may generally be taken for granted when sick headache and other symptoms of a redun¬ dancy of bile ensue that there is something wrong in the diet or habits of the sufferer ; let him, therefore, curb his appetite for wines and strong meats, take plenty of exercise and bathe freely, that the skin may bo in a condition to perform its work of excretion. Still, there are many oases in which truss excess of bile 8 proceeds from oilier e&nses than those above alluded to. Abstemious livers, of spare habits, who take plenty of exercise, often suffer from it, and sometimes very seriously. The cause with them may be some organic defect, which prevents the absorption of the carbona¬ ceous matter taken as foo l, or the stoppage of the biliary secretion to its proper destination. An avoid¬ ance of animal fat, much sugar, strong tea and coffee, spirits, and the heavier wines, such as port. If malt liquor is taken let it be some light ale, and of this not much ; milk and eggs are not good to take regularly, although a little of both in puddings and beverages will not hurt. The meat should be plain and well cooked, taken with bread or well-boiled vegetables the puddings of a farinaceous kind, and ripe fruits may he eaten sparingly. For Bilious Diarrhoea , attended ivith Wind and Headache — Take Mountain Flax, 1 ounce. Turkey Rhubarb, £ ounce. Ginger Root, 1 ounce. Calumha Root, 1 ounce. Bruise all the roots, and boil together with the Mountain Flax in one quart of water until reduced to a pint and a half, let stand till cold, and strain off. Dose. — Half a wineglassful two or three times a day according to its aperient effect, two hours after a meal.

Break the bark up small, and boil it in one quart of water for half ■ an-hour, then put the other ingredients into a jug and pour the boiling liquor on to them j let stand till cold, and then strain off. Dose. — A small wineglassful an hour before each meal. If constipated, take two of the Pills of Health every other night as well. For Nervous Indigestion , with Debility , Lowness of Spirits, Peevishness and Agitation — Take Skullcap Leaves, 1 ounce. White Poplar Bark, 1 ounce and a half. Turkey Rhubarb, £ ounce. Valerian Root, £ ounce. Bruise the rhubarb well, and boil gently with the other articles in one quart of water for half-an-hour ; let stand till coid, then strain off into a battle, and add one ounce of Tincture of Cascarilla. Dose.— -A small wineglassful, two, three, or four times a day, according to its aperient effect. PALPITATION OF THE HEART Has been experienced by most persons who have run themselves out of breath, or by any violent exertion 9 causing a great increase of action in the respiratory and circulatory organs. In a healthy and proper state we are not generally sensible of t! e regular beat ®£ the pulse, which goes on night and day, whether we sleep or wake, and tells that the great organ of vitality is duly performing its office ; but, when from any cause, these beats become unusually frequent and forcible, we both feel and hear them in a very trouble® some and distressing manner. Especially is this the case when the bodily strength has been reduced and the nervous sensibility increased by illness ; then we seem to feel within us the swing of a great pendulum, and the throb, throb, vibrates through the chambers of the brain and appears to call forth echoes from every cavity and passage of our internal structure, in a manner that is perfectly agonising. When there is violent throbbing of the heart; which may be felt by a hand pressed upon the chest, while the patient is him- self unconscious of it, there is reason to apprehend organic disease; but when there is such acute con- sciousness as we have described, there is generally only functional or nervous derangement without any structural change. A disordered stomaoh may be the cause, although there may be no other symptoms of this. > We have known cases in which a very slight irregularity in the mode of living has produced palpi¬ tation of the heart, and that, too, in an otherwise healthy person. In some, almost any strong nervous stimulant will produce it, and we recollect one instance in which it always came on after a cup of tea, and was never troublesome when this beverage was not taken. We mention this to show that palpitation is, not always, nor indeed commonly, symptomatic of heart disease ; and need, therefore, cause no unneces¬ sary alarm, although its frequent recurrence shoulo set the patient inquiring as to what is the real cause. Per¬ sons with whom there is menstrual derangement — the listless, the pallid, the hysterical — in these we meet with palpitation in its most aggravated forms ; as also in the indolent, the susceptible, and the delicate, those who dwell on morbid fancies and excite the imagina¬ tion with sensual thoughts or horrible pictures. To such, every beat of the pulse seems like a call from the world of spirits, every flutter and palpitation like a brush from the wings of the angel of death, or the whispering voice of an accusing conscience. In these cases the only treatment likely to be of service must be directed towards removing the predisposing and exciting causes, and establishing a more healthful nervous condition — gentle exercise, tonics, change of air aud scene ; an endeavour to occupy the mind in some useful and moral pursuit, a well regulated and generally frugal diet, and a strict avoidance of all that can excite either mind or body. By this means palpi¬ tations, not connected with organic disease, may gener¬ ally be got rid of. Take Scullcap Leaves, 1 ounce. Valerian Root, f- ounce. Hyssop, 2 ounces. And Composition Powder, | ounce. Put all the ingredients, with the exception of the com position powder, into a saucepan, pour on a quart of boiling water, and let it stand near the Ore Cm z&. %««« % && lei tfe IbsIL ate& &-M., '&hx\M& still hot, tfc« composition ' powder, cover over closely till cold, when the clear liquor should be decanted off into a bottle. Dose. — One or two tablespoonfuls two, three, or four times a day. It may also be taken at any time when the palritation comes on suddenly, which it often doef ;r r>y.voxysms, accompanied by spasms, wind, sharj pains between the shoulders and under the heart. TIC -DOLOUREUX— NEURALGIA. This painful complaint commences with acute pal. shooting from the ear, cheek, nose, and palate ; bui more often the jaws and teeth, attending with twitcl ing of the muscles. . It attacks suddenly, and is verj peculiar. The pains darts along the nerves, an< occurs in paroxysms of the most excruciating agony succeeded by intervals of intermission. Dr. floopei says — “.This may remain for years, although the nerves have been severed by the lancet, besides having taken large doses of opium.” Treatment. — Take half a teaspoonful each of skull¬ cap and composition powder. Pour on them half a teacupful of boiling water ; clear when cool ; add to it a teaspoonful of the tincture valerian, and repeat the dose every two hours until relieved. Bathe the feet in hot mustard and water, and apply a hot brick to the feet. If the bowelo are confined, take a dose of purgative medicine, and rub the parts affected with the anti-cholera drops or tic liniment or tincture of cayenne two or three times a day. Any of these will answer, A hot poultice of camomile will often re¬ lieve. If this treatment fails take lobelia emetic, and repeat the medicine as before. Sometimes a shower bath has cured ; also cold water bandages wining out, wrapped round the head, and dry ones placed on the top. If it proc( eds from a decayed tooth, apply the toothache liniment. NETTLE RASH (URTICARIA). Nettle Rash, though not dangerous, is a very trouble* some and annoying complaint. It breaks forth, as its name implies, into an eruptive rash, discovering itself in large red patches, mostly white in the centre. The irritation is very great, resembling that of a sting of a nettle, and is most troublesome when the patient is in bed, or before a fire, or heated from any other cause. It is a very uncertain complaint, otten appearing on one part of the body, and then leaving that and appearing on another part. The most popular remedy for this complaint is nvittle tea, made by boiling a good bunch of stinging nett.es in three pirns of water, till reduced to a quart. Dose - Half a teacupful or more, three or four times a day. Nettle rash mostly appears in the spring. Sometimes, however, it is not so easily got rid of ; when this is the case make the following : Take two ounces of sarsaparilla, one ounce of clivers, and one ounce of the herb archangel ; boil in three nints of water till reduced to a quart, strait* and keep la •> Dos*. — A large vrineglasaful three or fsnsr 11 times a day. ^ When the irritation is very great, ease may be obtained by washing with a strong decoction of common garden parsley • boil about halt a pound of the green herb in a quart of water till reduced to a pint, apply this to the body as. a lotion, warm, just be¬ fore going to bed. Celandine tea will have the same effect, so also will camphor water. A slight purgative should also be taken, about twice or thrice a week. Under this treatment it will seldom last more than a week or so, but if neglected, will sometimes poison the blood, oausing scrofula, or some other constitutional complaint. MEDICAL RECIPES, &c. REMEDY FOR WHOOPING COUGH. Skin some garlio, then bruise it to a pulp, and mix with as much lard. Let the chest, and between the shoulders, as well as the spine and soles of the feet be rubbed with this preparation, night and morning ; this has cured some very bad cases. SMELLING TINCTURE FOR FAINTNESS, HYSTERICS, Etc. Take Elder Flowers, 4 ounces. Rose Leaves, 3 ounces. Lavender Flowers, 2 ouncgs, Rosemary Leaves, 2 ounces. ^ Bruised Nutmeg, 1 drachm. Bruised Cloves, 1 drachm. Cinnamon, 2 drachm. Pour on. them a quart of the best white wine vinegar, let it infuse a month or six weeks, then strain and keep in a stoppered bottle for use*. Ear-ache or Deafness.— Take oil rosemary, one drachm, oil of almonds, one ounce ; mix. Drop a little in the ear night and morning ; also saturate a piece of cotton wool with the same/ and place in the ear ; well syringe the ears with warm soap and water at bed-time. PAINS £N THE STOMACH, BOWELS, &c. When caused by wind, cramp or stoppage, take the following excellent remedy ' Ten drops of essence of peppermint, five drops of essence of ginger and five drops of tincture cayenne, in a wineglassful of water. Jt generally affords relief in ten minutes. If not re¬ peat the dose. * AN EXCELLENT SOOTHING SYRUP. For. children while teething, or at other times as a medicine Syrup of violets, i ounce. "" Syrup of rhubarb, f ounce. Syrup of buckthorn, 2 drachms. Syrup of saffon, 2 drachrns. -A teaspoonful once or twice a day, and c*ccj»- T>osk, uonally rub a little on the gums. \ IS mtmimc BECocncra. Take, Parsley root, i ounce. Fennel seed, I ounce. Wild carrot seed, | ounce. Pellitory of the Wall, i ounce. Raisins, 2 ounces. Water, 3 pints. Boil gently to a quart, strain off and add one drachm of nitre. Dose.-— A wineglassful three times a day. This dislodges much slime and viscid humour from the stomach and bowels, cleanses the viscera, particu¬ larly the kidneys, keeps the juices cool and fluid, and greatly assists their discharge by urine, especially in uterine- and hysteric cases. Fomentations (for inflammations, &c.).— One ounce of camomile, and three poppy heads boiled in three pints of water, and used warm, makes the best fomen¬ tation for inflammation, erysipelas, sore eyes, etc. Freckles.— Take two ounces of clivers and a quarter of a pound of burdock root, boil together in a quart of water till reduced to a pint-and-a-half. Dose. — A wineglassful three or four times a day. Also make a wash by pouring a pint of boiling water on two ounces of scurvy grass. These two things combined will remove the most obstinate freckles. Dr. Coffin’s Recipe for Consumption and General Debility. — Take red raspberry leaves, agrimony, clivers, ground ivy, barberry bark, centuary, horehound, of each half an ounce ; boil in a pint of cold water for 20 minutes, when strained, add one ounce of Spanish juice, and a half-teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. Dose.— A wineglassful four times a day. N.B. — I have made up this prescription I may say by thousands, watched its action in many bad cases, and seen it do wonders. In some cases it is necessary to take a teaspoonful of acid tincture of lobelia mixed with honey to promote free expectoration. AGRIMONY.— (The whole Herb).

Tonic and Stomachic, Cold water is used to extract the bitter principle of this root, CAMOMILES. The dried flowers of the common Camomile are sufficiently familiar to everyone. They are antispas- modic, carminative, and tonic, which render them very useful in dyspepsia and general debility. Camomile tea, as the infusion is generally called, is a most agree¬ able bitter, and is of almost universal use and accept¬ ance. Taken warm it promotes the action of emetics. The flowers steeped in boilirg water are fre¬ quently used as fomentations for abscesses and inflamed 'parts, to promote suppuration and relieve pain ; flan¬ nels dipped in the hot decoction answer the same pur¬ pose. Boiling water poured over the flowers is the proper way of preparing the tea. It is very wrong to boil them, as many are in the habit of doing, thinking to obtain a greater strength ; but the contrary is the case— they lose the chief of their virtues, which con¬ sists of an essential oil, that passes off with the steam. Camomiles, though simple, have great virtues ; they are good for debility and loss of appetite, and drank warm at bedtime, are good for colds and to promote perspira¬ tion. Many chew these flowers to wean themselves of the beastly and destructive habit of chewing tobacco, for which it serves as a good substitute. We obtain them fresh every season from the growers, so that the quality may be depended on. In addition to the many excellent properties of these flowers, they have proved an efficient remedy for the stone and gravel ; also for irritation of the bladder and urinary passages, pains and stitches in the side, etc. Outwardly applied, with poppy heads, they form one of the best fomentations for pains, inflammation, etc., and for almost every other purpose where a fomentation is necessary ; it will also be found a valuable remedy to wash eyes that are weak, or where the sight is decaying. A scruple of the powder of camomile taken once every four hours, and continued for four days, cures the ague. See Camomile or Tonic and Bitter Herbs . CATMINT (Catnip, the Herb).

RHUBARB. * The primary action tsli rhubarb is that of a mild purgative, but it has also tonic and astringent proper¬ ties, so that its secondary effects are to confine the bowels ; hence it is well fitted for use in diarrhoea, but not in constipation, or any affection in which a con¬ tinuous aperient action is necessary. It is not fitted for inflammatory or febrile cases, although it seldom acts as i an irritant ; its stimulating, combined with its aperient properties, render it valuable in dyspepsia. Generally speaking, it suits children and aged persons best. Where the bowels are sluggish, combiRcd with ginger 250 and a little extract of dandelion, it makes an excellent dinner pill. The ordinary dose of the powder is from 20 to 36 grains. Some persons have no objection to chew the root, and to such as have not, this is a very good way of taking it. There is an immense variety of medical compounds of which rhubarb forms an impor¬ tant ingredient. Mixed with an equal proportion of carbonate of soda it is an excellent remedy for the 'irri¬ tation of the bowels, common with children when teeth¬ ing. As a common aperient for the young, it is best given combined with magnesia. With both children and adults it has the property of communicating a deep tinge to the urine — this should be known, as the change of colour in the secretion of the kidneys may occasion alarm and misconception. Garden rhubarb when used as food has a slight aperient action upon the bowels In some cases this may be beneficial, but not in all ; those who have a tendency to relaxed bowels should not take it. Generally speaking, it is a wholesome and cooling article of diet. RUE (The Herb). Stimulant, Antispasmodio and Emenagogue. ROSEMARY. Stimulant and Nervine.

Whenever it is possible, let him have a run in a field, and you will see him eat a certain grass, called Oouch, or Dog grass, which will help him to keep in good health. The Herbal Pills you find described here are those I have used in my kennels forj-ears, and have proved their worth in many cases, besides helping my dogs to be successful on the Show Bench, and if the following hints are care¬ fully carried out, your dog will reap the benefit. Few people know the correct way to give their dog pills, which, no doubt, is the best way of giving them medicine. The followiug hints should be remembered . Take hold of the dog’s face, with your left hand palm pressing on his nasal bones while your thumb and forefinger exert a gentle pressure on each side of the upper lip, immediately over the large teeth or tusks. The gentle pressure will cause the dog to open the mouth ; take the pills between the fingers of the right hand and push them right over the back of the tongue ; the dog will then be bound to swallow them. There is no danger whatever of them going the wrong way, as the epiglottis, or valve-like structure over the wind¬ pipe is set on guard over that aperture, the moment an aggressor enters the throat. We have arranged below a list of the common com¬ plaints which dogs are liable to, and hope that tha hints given will prove useful . — BLOOD AND SKIN DISEASES. The chief skin diseases to which dogs are liable are Eczema and Mange. Eczema is very common amongst dogs that are kept in the house, and are fed on tit-bits, and have not sufficient out-door exercise. The first symptoms are feverishness and restlessness, the skin under the belly, thighs, and arms, become red ; this is followed by small pustules breaking out, and if the parts are pressed a watery substance will be found to ooze out. It is not contagious, though it is best to keep the dog by itself. Strict attention to the diet of the dog, and suitable lotions and dressing applied to the skin are necessary. It is advisable, where possible, to let the dog eat as much couch grass as it wants, which its own instinct will find, if let out into a field or garden. Treatment — It is as well to isolate the dog in Eczema Although not contagious, Mange sometimes follows this 57 complaint. Sponge the affected parts with skin lotion daily, giving blood pills nk ht and morning. Every third day give a condition pill. After the eczema dis¬ appears burn the old bed. A course of the Tonic Pills in most cases will be found beneficial. Canker of the Ear is a very painful complaint. Water dogs are the most subject to it, though it is common to all dogs. On examining the dog’s ear it will be fonnd much inflamed, and to discharge an acrid matter. The ear should be well bathed with tepid water containing a little permanganate of potash, and any matted hair carefully removed: After drying, a little warm carbolic oil dropped into the ear will prove a grateful dressing. If this is repeated two o three times a day, a cure will soon be effected. External Canker. — This name is applied to ulcerated flaps and other ulcers. The treatment is the same after well bathing, as before, any pus should be carefully removed, and the parts dressed with boric ointment. Constipation can generally be relieved in a few days by completely altering the diet, and where this is not effectual an enema of soap and water is useful* Castor oil and Syrup of Buckthorn is a favourite remedy; but has the drawback of being binding after¬ wards. 5 The Condition Pills are highly recommended. Coughs and Colds if not cheeked in the early stages, eventually lead to more serious complaints — such as inflammation of the lungs, etc. A dog affected with the above should be placed in a warm, dry kennel, and as much warm milk given to him as he will drink, and a cough pill should be giren night and morning, with an occasional condition pill. Cramp. — This generally attacks the hind quarters and is caused by the dog getting wet or chilled. Tho parts affected should be bathed with a hot decoction of wormwood, where it is to be got, afterwards rubbing with a good stimulating liniment. Cuts and Bruises. — These, of course, are amendable to various treatments, according to the nature of the cases. For bruises there is no better application than a fomentation of Marshmallow decoc¬ tion j afterwards, where practicable, applying the leaves as a poultice. Sometimes, in cases whero cuts bleed, a good deal, a styptic is required. A strong solution of percliloride of iron is, perhaps, the quickest. It smarts a little when applied, but this soon passes off. Another good styptic is Friars Balsam and Tannin powder. The method of using is to saturate a piece of cotton wool in the Friar’s Balsam, then roll it in the I Tannin powder and apply to the cut. This will be found useful where a dog cuts his feet whilst racing, as the cotton wool forms a protection to the foot, and vill often allow the dog to compete again withm a short time. ' To heal the wound after the bleeding, dress with Baldwin’s Antiseptic Ointment. Chorea, or St- Vitus Dance , generally follows Distemper, and it is a very difficult disease to treat, r - symptoms are involuntary twitchings of the muac.os. These are most noticeable when the dog is at rest, P' • ■ 8 ClooS dieting and attention is of great service, and the following mixture is recommended Bromide of Potasium, 5 grains. Am. Tr. Valerian, 20 drops. Infusion of Gentian, 1 dram. This is a dose for a medium sized dog, and should be given every four hours. Distemper. — The symptoms of this complaint are well-known to all dog owners. It attacks the puppy from the age of 8 weeks to 8 months, although it may manifest itself at any period of the dog’s life. Dull¬ ness and loss of appetite are usually the first symptoms, followed by a discharge of mucus from the eyes and nose, and general Uselessness, cough, etc. Treatment. — One, two, or three pills to be given each night and morning according to the size of the dog until the complaint disappears, then follow with the Tonic Pill. 'ihe discharge must be washed away from the nose and eyes every hour or so with warm soap and water. A Condition PM1 should be given every other day to regulate the bowels, and plenty of warm milk given to drink, ^he diet to be as generous and nourishing as possible, hut always warm. The dog must be kept warm and away from all draughts. Diarrhoea is common among dogs. It arises from various causes. Want of proper care in feeding, worms, or an after effect of distemper, are the chief causes. A good remedy, and one that should always be tried first for diarrhoea, is to mix dry arrowroot with all the dog’s food ; if this is not effectual, a chalk mix- ture like the following,. should be taken:— * Prepared Chalk, £ oz. Tinct. of Catechu, | oz. „ Opium, 80 drops. Syrup, 1 oz. Cinammon Water to 8 ozs. A tablespoonful every three or four hours. Fits . — Young dogs, when teething, are subject to fits. Intestinal worms and over-feeding, will also cause them. The best way to bring the dog out of the fit is to dafth cold water up the nostrils, When the dog recovers give him a Condition Pill. If the fits are re¬ peated at intervals, the mixture recommended for Chorea will be found useful. Fleas.— These irritating pest's can easily be kept down if the dog is washed frequently with Baldwin’s Dog Soap. Where a dog is kept in a box kennel the bedding should be changed often, and if the kennel is well limed with freshly slacked lime, it will prove to be the best remedy. Indigestion .-—This is caused through want of exercise and over-feeding. Where a medicine is re¬ quired, the following powder is recommended : — Prepared Bhubarb, 10 grs, Carb. Soda, 5 grs. Prepared Ginger, 1 gr. This powder should be given twice a day for a week. The dose is for a medium sized dog. 59 3 atmdice. — Tfexg diseaig© fg cattse'd by over-feeding and want of exercise, and seldom is found in dogs that get plenty of work. Alkaline aperients, like the fol¬ lowing, will generally effect a cure : — Magnesium Sulphate, 4 drms. » Carbonate, 4 drms. Powdered Rhubarb, 1 drm. „ Barberry Bark, 1 drm. Syrup of Orange, 1 oz. Water, 8 ozs. One tablespoon ful night and morning. Mange is entirely a contagious disease, and if drastic measures are not taken, it will affect all the dogs in a kennel. There are two kinds of Mange, the symptoms in each case being rather similar. Common Mange is caused by a parasite which infects the skin and is not difficult with proper treatment to get rid of. In the other form of Mange the parasite attacks the skin glands, and is found head downwards in the follicles. Both forms of Mange are amendable to the same treatment. „ The first and most important thing where other dogs are kept, is to completely isolate the dog affected. Then give a condition pill at least three times a week, dressing the skin and coat each day with rhe Mange dressing. After the third day the dog must be washed in warm water, using the dog soap freely. Before being put back in the kenuel the bed should be burnt and a new one substituted. If these instruc¬ tions are carefully observed, the dog should be prac¬ tically well in a week or ten days. After the Mange has disappeared the bed should be burnt as before, and the kenuel whitewashed. A tonic pill could now be given with good effect, and the blood pills occasionally. Pneumonia This disease is generally ushered in by cold chills, a hot and dry skin, hurried and labor¬ ious breathing. The dog is very restless, and there is often a short, dry cough. The dog should be kept in a warm, dry, airy room. Good poultices of linseed meal and mustard should be applied to the chest, and when these come off*, warm flannel saturated with camphorated oil (to which a little spirit of turpentine has been added), should b© applied. Obstinate eostivenesss ia sometimes a contributory cause of the complaint, so an enema of warm soap and water would do no harm. Give the following mixture Ipecacuanha Wine, 80 minims. Comp. Tinct. of Camphor, 160 minims. Glycerine, 1 oz. Infusion of Senega to 8 oz. A tablespoonful every three or four hours. The dose is for a small or medium sized dog. -for Inflammation of tii© ©y© and weak ©yea generally— Take Boric Acid, | oz. Eyebright Herb, £ oz. Boiling water, £ pint. Allow to stand till eoldj decant and use he clear liquid smi a lotioa. m RTh. ©\xm a&i • —A. 11 breeds of 4ogs fcSrfc etffajeet fc* rheumatism. The symptoms are lameness, and most often stiffness and soreness of the muscles of the chest and back. The dog should be kept in a warm, dry place, a light diet given, and the following mixture : — • Salicylate of Soda, 80 grs. Cone Infusion of Gentian, 1 os. Chloroform Water to 8 oz. One tablespoonful every four hours. If the painful parts are rubbed with Magic Liniment it will give great relief. Rickets- — This disease is, to a certain extent? hereditary. If the puppy shews symptoms of swollen joints and general weakness, it is a sure indication of this complaint. In treating these cases, the diet should be nourishing, and easily digestible, the follow" ing mixture should be given : — Hypophosphite of Sodium, 64 grs. „ „ Calcium, 64 grs. Water, 1 oz. Simple Syrup, 3 ozs, A teaspoonful every four hours— -or, our Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with hypopho ophites might be given, Cod Liver Oil being highly recommended. Sickness, Foul Breath, and Costiveness. —These troubles are caused by over- feeding, want of proper exercise, too rich food, drinking bad water ; or the dug may have picked up and eaten some obnoxious substance, but Worms sometimes will cause the whole of the above complaints. Treatment.— First give a dose of the Condition Pills. These will help to digest the food, and remove obstructions from the bowels, and if it is found that the dog is suffering from Worms, allow a day or two to elapse, then treat the dog as directed for Worms. Worms .“"Logs of all kinds, large or small, young or old, are subject to worms, of which there are several kinds. The symptoms of worms are various, and in many instances it is only by careful watching you can find out your dog has worms. In most cases the dog is very restless, and whines and twitches when he is sleeping. The coat also gets very rough and out of condition. Instead of his food satisfying him, he will eat to excess without deriving any benefit, and usually gets very thin. Nearly all remedies sold for worms are strongly purgative, and leave the dog in a weak condition, especially in the case of puppies, but this is not always necessary, as medicines” which des¬ troy the worms in the stomach and intestines and cause them to be voided in the ordinary course, are much more effective. An effectual remedy in all cases will be found in the Worm Pills, if given according to the directions. Dose. One, two, or three pills, according to the size of the dog, to be given every other morning fasting, for about a week; giving a Condition Pill at least once a week. Wounds, Bites and Scratches.— In all the above cases, first wash with warm water, using the dog »oap, dressing afterwards with antiseptic ointment. 1 61 ’BALDWIN'S WORM PILLS v POE DOGS.
