Chip, FltLV, Vcnnin^ Gapes. 225 



^toiiare, from a sense of cold, although to 

 the touch, they seem in a high state of fe- 

 ' ver. This disease seldom admits of re- 

 medy ; hut I have tried mustard in water, 

 crams, with a small quantity of black pep- 

 per, and afterwards nitre, given in the 

 water. The sun, or warmth in the house, 

 by the fire-side, are the best remedies. The 

 fire is a great restorative of all young, in- 

 deed of all animals. 



For grown-fowls affected by the roup, 

 warm lodging is necessary, and even the 

 indulgence of the fire, or the warmth of 

 the bake-house. Wash the nostrils with 

 warm soap and water, as often as neces- 

 sary, and the swollen eyes with warm milk 

 and water. Afterwards bathe the swollen 

 parts with camphorated spirit, or brandy 

 and warm water. As a finish to the cure, 

 give sulphur in the drink, or a small pinch 

 of calomel in dough, three times in a 

 week. The common symptom of gaping, 

 during this influenzal disease, induced the 

 learned a few years past, to coin a new 

 disease, under the name of the gapes^
