HEAD, THROAT AND LUNGS 



If this disease has been allowed to grow into the condition last de- 

 scribed, little treatment will avail. The fowls are probably thin, with no 

 appetite, and present the appearance of tired out birds. Kill and bury 

 every one of the long continued cases, and give your attention to new cases. 

 The legs should be tied together, yet loose enough to allow walking, while 

 close enough to prevent any scratching of the inflamed surfaces. Wash as 

 often as you can the whole surface of comb and wattles with a solution of 

 carbolic acid crystals, five grains to a pint of water. This lessens itching 

 and diminishes the danger of the spread of the infection. The food should 

 be highly nourishing and fed warm. Of course every sick bird should be 

 removed from the flock to lessen the danger of exposure. This disease, 

 introduced into a flock of healthy birds, runs a more rapid course than when 

 the stock is low in vitality.
