CAUSES OF DISEASE 173 



With the coming of the fall there will be many 

 cases of cold, which if not taken in hand promptly 

 will go into roup. I would suggest that poultry 

 raisers have a solution of permanganate of potash 

 on hand for such emergencies. This solution is 

 made by dissolving one ounce of permanganate of 

 potash in three pints of water. When a bird shows 

 signs of having a cold, dip the bird's head into this 

 solution. Repeat this operation every day until the 

 bird is cured.
