 suffering from the advanced stages of cholera, it is wise to kill it and burn the 

 carcass.

 the hours go by. The bird sits around with its feathers ruffled, head and neck 

 drawn up close to the body, eyes closed, is very feverish and thirsty. It is 

 inclined to remain standing just where it is. As the disease increases in violence 

 the discharge increases, and the ability of the bird to move decreases. 



Treatment. 



Put one tablespoonfud of Poultry Cholera Medicine to every quart of mash, 

 feed twice a day until all symptoms of the disease disappear. If the fowl is unable 

 to eat, make pills of the Cholera ]\ledicine by dampening it and administering one 

 every four hours until a cure is effected. Follow up after a cure is effected by 

 using Poultry Tonic in the feed.
