Diphtheric Angina in Fowls [Dr. Carlo Baldt ].—Out 
of 60 head, io have died within a few days and the remaining 
60 seem quite sick. The cadavers of five among the dead were 
brought to the author to find out the cause of the death and 
the remedy to save the others. The symptoms presented by 
those left no doubt as to the nature of the trouble, viz., diph¬ 
theric angina. These were : feathers standing, extreme loss of 
flesh, head bent on one side, beak gaping, rattling in the throat; 
in some the eyes were partly closed and looked blind, the 
temperature was raised one degree, the base of the tongue, the 
fauces and the palate were covered with yellow patches. The 
treatment consisted in the use of an iodo-iodiorated hydro-alco¬ 
holic solution applied all over the mouth and on the patches— 
the solution was made of pure iodine io grams, iodide of potas¬ 
sium 5 gr., alcohol 25 gr., distilled water 15 grams. Disin 
fection with vapors of burning sulphur was also used. Most 
of the birds were saved by this treatment.—( Clinic a Veterini)
