INFLUENZA 



Influenza, "Epizootic," or Grippe is a contagious, catarrhal disease dis- 

 tinct from Roup, although it often appears with Roup. lis common form 

 is like a Roupy cold.gnd has the Roupy smell, with or without Diarrhoea. 

 It may well be classed as Roup for all practical purposes, as the cause, 

 symptoms, and treatment are the same. 



SWELLED HEAD 



While Swelled Head is generally an aftermath of Roup and its kindred 

 diseases, fowls may be found with hot and swollen heads without having 

 had any severe case of Roup or Cold. 



SYMPTOMS — Swelling of head with more or less closing of eyes, etc. 



TREATMENT— Same as for Roup. Sometimes it may be necessary 

 to lance in order to remove the pus, while hot applications of one measureful 

 of Roup Remedy to one quart of water will help to absorb the pus. 



In any case of Roup and the diseases that may be classed with it, there 

 is a liability of the fowl dying from starvation when the disease advances 

 to a point where it is difficult for the bird to swallow. A good, strong 

 beef broth will often tempt an affected fowl, but, if not, make it take 

 several teaspoonfuls three times a day, and it will be found so strengthening 

 that it will often save a valiiable bird when other food entirely fails. 



BRONCHITIS 



Bronchitis is caused by a cold, by sudden changes in temperature, by 

 damp quarters, etc., and is often mistaken for Roup. It is also frequently 

 caused by particles of dust, lime, or other foreign substance, breathed into 

 the bronchdal tubes for, unlike Roup, Bronchitis is an inflammation of the 

 membranes of the bronchial tubes, instead of the nostril and head passages. 

 Filthy quarters and the breathing of foul air are also causes of this trouble. 



SYTMPOMS — Loss of appetite, and quick breathing and coughing. A 

 pecuhar whistling sound may accompany the breathing, which changes to a 

 decided rattling in later stages. Bronchitis should not be confounded with 

 Roup, which is indicated by running at the eyes, nose, etc. The two diseases 

 require entirely distinct remedies and treatment. 



TREATMENT— Give CONKEY'S BRONCHITIS REMEDY accord- 

 ing to directions and as early as possible. 



CONGESTION OF THE LUNGS 



This is caused by the sudden chilling of the surface of the fowls' bodies 

 and is due to exposure of various kinds. It is more frequently found in 

 moulting fowls when their strength is not up to standard and their bodies 

 are not in condition to protect them from the cold. 



SYMPTOMS — Stupor and lack of life, accompanied by difficult and 

 rapid breathing. The comb may turn black or blue, and blood-tinged rnucus 

 may be discharged from the mouth. The disease appears without much 

 warning and may quickly cause death. 



TREATMENT— Owing to the fact that this disease is so quickly 

 ■fatal, there is nothing that can be done to cure it. The prevention should 

 be given all your thought. See that all fowls ,and especially moulting fowls,
