ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT
SrANTEi.. — You fail to mention p. m-ost important particular — i.e., the age of the. dog. If it is young, say 18 irontha, its youth may help it out of the tioub'.e without your attention; but if five or six ye?rs eld the chances are ag-ainst recovery. The probability is .hat your sramel hp.s in its eagerness to get ?.t the game rushed under a rail and struck its back, and m doing so hurt the spinal column If there is a slight improvement leave aior.e. but if otherwise apply a seton to the back of the neck as follows-— Thread ■>. sacking needle with two ihreads of worsted and pass under the ekin at the b?.ck of the neck, arranging thai the ends will protrude quite three inches apart. Then tie the ends together, leaving a 100p — i c.. not tight down to the n-eck; and shift the thiead buckwards and forwards daily. This will cause a, discharge, which will give rehef, and may finally cure.
