LICE.
The
lice
are
hatched
from
nits,
which
we
find
clinging
in
rows,
and
very
tenaciously
too,
to
the
hairs.
The
insects
themselves
are
more
difficult
to
find,
but
they
are
on
puppies
sometimes
in
thousands.
To
destroy
them
I
have
tried
several
plans.
Oil
is
very
effectual,
and
has
safety
to
recommend
it.
Common
sweet
oil
is
as
good
a
cure
as
any,
and
you
may
add
a
little
oil
of
anise
and
some
sublimed
sulphur,
which
will
increase
the
effect.
Quassia
water
may
be
used
to
damp
the
coat.
The
matted
portions
of
a
long-haired
dog's
coat
must
be
cut
off
with
scissors,
for
there
the
lice
often
lurk.
The
oil
dressing
will
not
kill
the
nits,
so
that
vinegar
must
be
used.
After
a
few
days
the
dressing
must
be
repeated,
and
so
on
three
or
four
times.
To
do
any
good,
the
whole
of
the
dog's
coat
must
be
drenched
in
oil,
and
the
dog
washed
with
good
dog
soap
and
warm
water
twelve
hours
afterwards.
