Treats of gill inflamn:ation and a slimy skin disease, for both 

 of which salt is a remedy. F"nngus and blue swelling are dis- 

 cussed, and for these salt baths and sediment from the reservoir 

 proved useful. Dark spots on the l)()dy .-issociated with a light 

 spot on the head immediately over the brain were treated with 

 salt. A disease due to foul ponds yielded somewhat to salt and 

 clay. Glassy eggs, probably due to over-retention in the ovaries, 

 could not be remedied.
