COLD AND ROUP IN TURKEYS AND CANKER 

 IN PIGEONS 



The most effective treatment of these ailments will be found in CON- 

 KEY'S ROUP REMEDY. No one who raises Turkeys or Pigeons can 

 afford to be without it. See page 36 on Canker. 



CATARRH 



This is an aggravated form of cold an inflammation of the mucous 

 membrane. Some make quite a distinction, technically, between Catarrh 

 and Roup, but we class them under the same heading. Certainly the method 

 of treatment applies equally well to either. CONKEY'S ROUP REMEDY 

 will do the work and do it quickly. 



DIPHTHERIA OR DIPHTHERITIC ROUP 



There is a great difference of opinion as to whether this disease is a 

 result of Roup or of a specific germ of its own. We might enter into a 

 lengthy discussion of this matter and give you the results of our most careful 

 study and observation, but it would represent nothing of practical value to 

 the poultryman, and this book is written for practical purposes only. 



SYMPTOMS This form of disease is marked by acute inflammation 

 of the mucous membrane of the head passages, that is, the mouth, throat, 

 nasal passages and eyes. The mouth and throat are covered with yellow- 

 ish gray patches which form a coating so thick and of such strength, as to 

 seem like a new membrane. The word Diphtheria means soft leather, 

 and it is an excellent description of the false membrane appearing in this 

 disease. When this matter is removed or torn away, a raw bleeding sur- 

 face is left. "While the germ is not the same, this disease resembles human 

 diphtheria, and it is said, there have been instances of the contraction of 

 a light form of diphtheria by children from fowls so suffering, and that 

 fowls have been also known to have contracted human diphtheria. It will, 

 therefore, be understood to be exceedingly contagious and dangerous. 

 It not only attacks chickens, but Turkeys, Pigeons, Ducks, and many 

 other fowls. Its early symptoms are the same as Catarrh and Roup. 



TREATMENT In very many cases of this nature, CONKEY'S ROUP 

 REMEDY has been found most excellent. "It is a very dangerous disease 

 and its prevention should be sought by the liberal use of CONKEY'S NOX- 

 I-CIDE. It may be used in the same manner as described for prevention 

 of Roup. 



PIP 



Pip is a hardening of the mucous membrane of the mouth, particularly 

 of the tip of the tongue. It is caused by constant forced breathing through 

 the mouth through the presence of Roup, Cold, etc., which have closed the 

 nasal passages. The only possible cure is by removing the cause that is 

 by treating as described for Roup or whatever disease causes it. DO 

 NOT REMOVE THE HARDENED TIP ON END OF TONGUE it is 

 a part of the tongue. Apply daily to the hardened tip a little of CONKEY'S 

 HEALING SALVE and give the ROUP REMEDY according to directions.
