cases where parasitic maladies appear, by 

 far the safest and most satisfactory, if the 

 most radical, way to remedy the evil is to re- 

 move the contents of the aquarium, thor- 

 oughly clean the latter with a strong solution 

 of salt and restock it, being careful from 

 where plants and fishes are taken. 



All in all, parasitic maladies are of com- 

 paratively rare occurrence in our aquariums 

 and with proper care and a little precaution 

 the danger of their appearance may be re- 

 duced to a minimum. The remedies and 

 the treatment recommended by some authors 

 and practical pisciculturists may be of lim- 

 ited value in cases where very valuable and 

 rare specimens are the patients. For the 

 amateur we believe the radical treatment 

 here recommended to be the safest, easiest 

 and most satisfactory.
