Treatment: The first thing to do is to remove the 

 bird to warm quarters and try to induce a free pers- 

 piration. Give Carbonate of Ammonia in one-half 

 grain doses three times daily and allow the bird only 

 the lightest kind of food such as soaked bread, etc. 

 Give for it to drink oat meal water and add a small 

 pinch of powered alum to this. After the disease is 

 checked the constitution of the bird will be greatly 

 weakened and the "Tonic" should be used in the drink- 

 ing water at all times for at least a month afterwards. 



PNEUMONIA. 



A disease resembling somewhat congestion of the 

 lungs termed Pneumonia, differs from it in the respect 

 that in the former there is congestion, where in Pneu- 

 monia there is an inflammation of the lungs. The cause 

 however may both be attributed to the same cause, that 

 of taking a very severe cold, but this disease is usually 

 a complication of Influenza or Grip. This complication 

 with Grip although appearing to be very severe usually 

 terminates into the full recovery if proper means are 

 applied. 



Symptoms: High fever, ruffed feathers, a dry, 

 husky cough, attended with a very constricted respir- 

 ation. 



Treatment: Use the Carbonate of Ammonia in the 

 same doses as for Congestion, and after fever has sub- 

 sided, and the bird is convalescing the use of Hypo- 

 phosphites of Lime and Soda will be very beneficial in 

 restoring the strength . This should be given for several 

 weeks, and small doses of Quinine could be added if the 

 bird is extremely weakened.
