ing system is the best, as they may be en- 

 tirely mistaken as to the nature of the dis- 

 ease with which their birds are affected, and 

 give medicine that would take life. With 

 moderate but constant care of their little

 means ; but if properly cared for, will keep 

 in good health and full power of song for 

 many years.

 ber of ladies and gentlemen who possess 

 these little enliveners of the house, has called 

 for this book, which we hope will make 

 bird- keeping as easy as it is delightful.
