W. COOK'S ROUP POWDERS. 



These powders are used with excellent results for birds affected 

 with Roup. When badly affected they can be cured by the use of 

 it, and it is also invaluable for those fowls which have only a slight 

 cold. The Powder is made into pills for those which have the 

 disease fully developed. Full particulars and directions being given 

 on the tins. For preparing birds for the ?how pen, and for 

 keeping fowls generally in good condition and plumage, there is 

 nothing to equal these Powders. When the birds have Roup 

 and cannot eat they should have something nourishing, such 

 as bread and milk or stewed linseed given warm. Always let them 

 have as much food as they can digest. When the fowls first 

 show symptoms of Roup they ought to have a tea-spoonsful of castor 

 oil given them, and half-a-teaspoonful of glycerine, even when they 

 show signs of a cold they can have this given them. Isolate affected 

 birds, and add camphor to all drinking water. Give the unaffected 

 birds the Roup Powders in the morning meal^one heaped up tea- 

 spoonful to 8 or 10 fowls. This wUl often stop the mala<;ly from going 

 further. On a cold damp day a little ot it is most valuable. When fowls 

 are going on a journey a Pill or two will often prevent them from 

 catching cold. A preventive is better than a cure. It has 

 saved the lives of thousands of fowls all over the world. In 

 many cases it has cured them when all other advertised remedies 

 liave failed. If fowls are suffeiing from lowness, or their liver 

 is out of order, it soon puts them right and biings a bright lustre 

 on their plumage, wJiinh improves them vei-y much for the show 

 pen. When a fowl has n rattling in her tliroat and a difficulty 

 in drawing her breath, give a teaspoonful of glycerine, and when 

 convenient stew some linseed and give from six to eight teaspoonfuls 

 warm. Keep the affected birds on straw or moss peat. The latter is 

 much the best. When the birds have swollen eyes, bathe them in milk 

 and water with a little eaniphor in it. Always mpe the face and eyes 

 dry, if not they catch fresh cold. When a fowl has a thick discharge 

 called mucus, which coiTodes round the tongue and throat, the Roup 

 Lotion supplied by W. Cook, a,t lOJd per bottle, should be used. 

 Directions for the use of same: — Take a feather, which dip in 

 lotion, apply to the bird's mouth and throat, and turn the 

 feather well round the mouth. In this way it will bring much 

 of the thick slime away. In bad cases it requires a second feather 

 to repfeat ; then it is well to take a feather and dip in glycerine, and 

 also mop out mouth with that. This heals the wound. If this treat- 

 ment is continued night and morning the reward will be the bird's 

 recovery. Price :—6d. tin, by post 9d. ; Is. tin, by post Is. .Sd. ;
