Distemper and Skin Disease

The old building, now there is the opportunity, is being thoroughly done up and everything repainted. Then it will be kept for animals: with infectious complaints, one half, shut off from the other, for animals with skin diseases and the other for those suffering from distemper and the like.

The building not yet finished is a small one near the gate, for which the plans have just "been laid out. Tu this will be the bakery, for Dr. Philipp makes all his own dog biscuits, and is even now supplying about 80 Ib. a day about the town to dog owners. In this building too will be one or two cells for animals whose illness have not yet been diagnosed, so that they can be kept away from either the infectious rooms or those wh? are merely suffering from minor plaints.

'At present of course, with the builders barely out of the place, the grounds look a Kittle bare, and winter approaching not much can be done, but with the spring trees will be' planted and turf and the two hospitals wi be an ideal home for animals in distress, Dr. Philipp's consulting hours at the hospital are from 10 am. to 12.30 p.m. and 5.30 to 6.20 p.m. on week days, and from 10 am. to noon on Sundays, hours which will suit owners who attend offices and others.
