THE POULTRY DOCTOR. 61 



Another poultryman writes : 



"Since you sent me Spongia for a roup recipe I have given it a thorough 

 trial, and find it strikes the very vital parts and does the work. I have tried 

 a number of recipes, and they all proved a failure, and with the same 

 symptoms, and every condition, the Spongia has cured in every instance, and 

 for your advice in the matter I am under many obligations. I have quite a 

 good place here and expect to raise a large number of chickens the coming 

 season." 



And still another : 



"At the time I commenced using the Spongia I had fifteen or twenty 

 cases of roup, and new ones coming down every day. They soon com- 

 menced to show signs of improvement, and are all now entirely well. Spongia 

 did the business." 



Later issues of this journal contained abundant con- 

 firmatory evidence of the inestimable value of Spongia 

 in Roup ; one number contained letters from twenty 

 different correspondents from all parts of the country 

 testifying to the curative powers of Spongia. 



It may not be out of place to emphasize again the 

 necessity of getting Homoeopathic Spongia to obtain 

 these results. We once read an Allopathic professor's 

 account of how Spongia is prepared and can affirm 

 that if any one administered the remedy prepared as he
