Gapes, Blindness, Chambers, Megrims or Giddi-

above named diseases. In severe attacks, mix
a small quantity with corn meal. moistened,
and feed twice day. While these diseases
prevail, use little in their feed once or twice
a week, and your poultry will be kept free from
all disease. In severe attacks Oftentimes they
do not eat; it will then be necessary to admin
