The Bulletin. 



CONDIMEM'AL FEEDS, STO( k A>D I'OULTKY TONUS AND 



CONDITIONERS. 



The law regulating the sale of condimental feeds, stock and poultry 

 tonics and conditioners Avent into effect in July, 1909. In January of 

 this year a bulletin was published giving the microscopical and chemical 

 analyses of sixty-four of these preparations, also a detail discussion of 

 their value for stock and poultry and a list of the drugs used in com- 

 pounding them and their uses in veterinary medicine. As this bulletin 

 is still available it is not necessary to repeat the data given in it. A 

 copy will be sent to any one upon request. 



With few exceptions these preparations are composed of some con- 

 centrated feed as a base material, such as wheat bran, middlings, oil 

 meal, cottonseed meal, corn meal, etc., to which are added various 

 powdered vegetable and mineral drugs. Some of the drugs found in 

 these powders are frequently used in veterinary medicine, while others 

 have practically no medicinal value. In many of the preparations 

 common salt, sulphur or charcoal are the chief ingredients which could 

 be of value and very elaborate claims are made for these simple 

 remedies. 



It is possible to compound a tonic or conditioner of this kind Avhich 

 is of value, but as such a large percentage of this class of remedies 

 now on the markets are simply packages of concentrated feeds with 

 a small amount of cheap drugs added, the purchaser should inform 

 himself as to the composition of the remedy he intends buying and 

 should not be governed by the elaborate claims which are made by the 

 manufacturers. 



On the following pages Avill be found the microscopical and chemical 

 analyses of the samples which have been taken by the inspectors since 

 the bulletin on this subject was published. 



In the following table are given the names of the different brands 

 with the manufacturers, the name of the retail dealer and the weight 

 and price of each package :
