'Food and feeding enjoyed a prominent place in the professional lives of canine nurses... Nurses managed feeding regimes during whelping, when dogs fell ill, and when dogs (such as was often the case with toys) were found to be constitutionally unsuited to conventional feeding regimes. How to Save Our Dogs recommended “fortifying” products such as Bovril and Benger’s (human) milk food for dogs afflicted with distemper, “Parish’s Chemical Food” as a treatment of rickets, and Lactol, administered with Mayhew’s adapted feeding bottle, for hand-rearing. An advertisement for Sherley & Co.’s product appeared at the back of the volume. [note: 'Collins and Campbell, How to Save Our Dogs, 11, 16, 24, 77, inside back cover. Similar advice andadvertising appeared in Williams’s Puppy Manual, 14, 17, 50, 52, inside back cover.
