300 LIVER DISFASE. 



fresh straw or hay for the nests, will make all sweet 

 and wholesome again. When sifted coal ashes, or 

 wood ashes, can be had and mixed with the sand, in 

 which the birds wallow, lice will not trouble them, 

 and the more so if some flour of sulphur is occa- 

 sionally thrown into the mass. For an individual bird 

 troubled with these vermin, a little petroleum ap- 

 plied along under the wings once a week will re- 

 move the pests. 



IndigestionLoss of Appetite. 



If, as sometimes happens in consequence of over- 

 feeding, or the use of too highly seasoned food, fowls 

 loose their appetite, and the digestion and thrift is 

 impaired a change to soft, well cooked food, and 

 the use, night and morning, of the SPECIFIC J J, will 

 soon correct the difficulty. 



Liver Disease. 



This is a more formidable complaint, mostly ob- 

 served in cold damp localities, and rarely when the 

 surroundings are dry and pure. Artificial enlarge- 

 ment of the liver is produced in geese by confining 

 them in dark cellars ; and fowls that have indiges- 

 tion from overfeeding in similar conditions, will have 

 liver disease with enlargement of that organ, a dull, 

 stupid appearance and a yellowish tint about the head 

 and comb. It may be cured by giving the SPECIFIC 

 J J, morning and night, or in obstinate cases giving 

 the SPECIFIC C C, in like manner. The bird should 

 have soft or cooked food and a dry situation.
