W. COOK'S ROUP POWDERS. 



PRESCRIPTION FOR MIXING UP THE PILLS. 



FOR THREE HENS. One heaped up tea-spoonful of the powder, 

 two ditto of flour, two ditto of oatmeal, two ditto of middlings, or any 

 kind of meal, with a small piece of fat of some kind, about the size of 

 a walnut ; mix with a little warm water into a paste, so that it does not 

 stick to the fingers. The Pills should be made about the size of the 

 little finger to the second joint. Give two Pills night and morning. If 

 the fowls have the disease very badly, a little extra powder can be used 

 without doing any injury to the fowls in any way. Though very strong 

 it is not poisonous. If the invalids cannot eat they should have some- 

 thing nourishing, such as bread and milk or stewed linseed given warm. 

 Always let them have as much food as they can digest. When the fowls 

 first show symptoms of Roup they ought to have a tea-spoonsful of castor 

 oil given them, and half-a-teaspoonful of glycerine, even when they 

 show signs of a cold they can have this given them. Isolate affected 

 birds, and add camphor to all drinking water. Give the unaffected 

 birds the Roup Powders in the morning meal one heaped up tea- 

 spoonful to ten fowls. This will often stop the malady from going 

 further. On a cold damp day a little of it is most valuable. When fowls 

 are going on a journey a Pill or two will often prevent them from 

 catching cold. Many exhibitors use it and find it most beneficial. A 

 preventive is better than a cure. It has saved the lives of thousands 

 of fowls all over the world. In many cases it has cured them when all 

 other advertised remedies have failed. If fowls are suffering from 

 lowness, or their liver is out of order, it soon puts them right and brings 

 a bright lustre on their plumage, which improves them very much for 

 the show pen. When a fowl has a rattling in her throat and 'a difficulty 

 in drawing her breath, give a teaspoonful of glycerine, and when 

 convenient stew some linseed and give from six to eight teaspoonfuls 

 warm. Keep the affected birds on straw or moss peat. The latter is 

 much better. When the birds have swollen eyes, bathe them in milk 

 and water with a little camphor in it. Always wipe the face and eyes 

 dry, if not, they catch fresh cold. When a fowl has a thick discharge 

 called mucus, which corrodes round the tongue and throat; write me for 

 lotion, 9d. per bottle, post free, lOgd. Directions for the use of same 

 Take a feather, which dip in lotion, <apply to the bird's mouth and throat, 

 and turn the feather well round the mouth. In this way it will bring 

 much of the thick slime away. In bad cases it requires a second feather 

 to repeat ; then it is well to take a feather and dip in glycerine, and 

 also mop out mouth with that. This heals the wound, if this treat- 

 ment is continued night and morning the reward will be the bird's 

 recovery. Price, 2s. tin, post free, 2s. 4d. ; Is. tin, post free, Is. 3d. ; 

 6d. tin, post free, 8^d ; or 5s. worth, post free ; 12s. worth for 10s., 

 carriage paid.
