(6.) The Water Supply. One teaspoonful of Izal to 
eight quarts of water. 
Izal and Foul Brood. 
Experiments conducted with Izal, and especially the 
methods of applying it as advised by the Author, have 
placed this germicide in the first rank as a cure for foul 
brood. It should be made known to every struggling 
bee-keeper, who too often falls under after using the many 
useless applications he has been told to apply, in the face 
of repeated failures known to have occurred where such 
have been tried. 
At my recommendation, many  bee-keepers have 
absolutely expelled the disease from their apiaries by the 
use of Izal. Phenol and many other supposed remedies, 
hitherto advocated, have been obnoxious to the bees, if 
not absolutely poisonous both to them and the operator ; 
whereas Izal is not only harmless, but is decidedly liked 
by them ; so much so that if the Izal bottle is left exposed, 
bees will frequently crowd into it, as if it were honey or 
sugar. This is a very great point gained in the treatment 
of the dread plague, as syrup to which the remedy has 
been added, is readily accepted at all times. 
Curing Disease without Medicine. 
We have seen how brood diseases may be checked by 
the aid of simple byt effectual medicinal agents ; and 
although bees are somewhat more difficult to -treat by 
hydropathic methods, I will show how disease may be 
disposed of without medicine.
