but it is very dangerous to use this remedy. 

 Under no circumstances should the fish be left 

 alone a minute when in a solution of carbolic 

 acid and water. The instant it begins to turn

 The narrative of diseases may seem very dis- 

 couraging; but no matter in what live-stock 

 business a man is engaged the spectre of disease 

 must be reckoned with. A goldfish-culturist is 

 confronted with less trouble than the man who 

 rears poultry, and has a happy time compared 

 with the raiser of bees. Skill, which comes with 

 time, love for the calling, perseverance and 

 good stock, will yield gratifying returns both in 

 enjoyment and money.
