Hozv to order them wJxn in Moult. 



WA R M T H and good nourilliing 

 Food are their greateft Friends in 

 this Diilemper, for that Reafon let your 

 Birds either be where the Sun fhines very 

 Itrong on them -, or if does not, let your 

 Place or Cage be kept verv warm during 

 the whole Time of their Moult; let them 

 be where no Wind can come on them, for 

 the leaft Coldraay chance to kill them, Let 

 them have as many nouriihing Things as 

 you can, as Naples Bifl<et,Eread and Egg, 

 and fome Saffron in their V/ater, bruifed 

 Hemp-Seed, Lettuce-Seed and Maw-Seed. 

 If the Weather is very hot, during the 

 Ti^me of their Moult, change fom.etimes 

 the Saffron-Water for other, in which fteep 

 a liiiali Piece of Liquorice, and give them 

 Plantain and Lettuce-Seed together ; you 

 muil not give thefe iafl Things if the Wea- 

 ther be very cold. The Reafon fo ma- 

 ny Things are prefcrib'd is, that fick Pirds, 

 as well as fick Men, ought to be humour'd 

 with what pleafes them, which often provt-s 

 the bell Phyfick ; if your Bird jQiould be 

 very bad, let him have Naples Bifket Iteep'd 

 in Vv'hite-vVine, and force a Irnall Drop 

 down their Throats, finely temper'd in your 

 Mouth ; this laft muft not be us'd, unlefs 

 his Cafe be dangerous. When yourCanary-
