tinues, give a few drops of tincture opium several 

 times a day. When gangrene has started, the parts 

 that are dead should be removed and the wound washed 

 once or twice a day with a solution of Goulard's 

 extract, two teaspoonfuls to one-half pint of water. 



ANAEMIA OR IMPOVERISHED BLOOD. 



This is a deficiency of some of the constituents of 

 the blood. 



Causes are those conditions that tend to reduce the 

 vitality of the fowl, of which there are many, such as 

 improper food, deficiency of food, exposure, indigestion, 

 worms, lice, etc. 



-Symptoms are paleness of the comb, wattles, and 

 mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes, and gen- 

 eral weakness; the fowl is easily exhausted, but the 

 appetite may remain good. 



Treatment: Seek the cause and remove it; feed a 

 liberal supply of good clean nutritious food; allow 

 plenty of sunlight, and give each fowl a few drops of 

 tincture of iron and five drops of tincture quassia in 

 a teaspoonful of water twice a day, or add the proper 

 amount to the drinking water. 



tuberculosis. 



Domestic fowls and birds as well as other animals 

 are subject to this disease. It is quite prevalent in 

 some flocks and, when once affected, there is no suc- 

 cessful method of eradicating the disease, except by 

 destroying diseased fowls.
