Kick Him. When He's Down.
When the sun Of ,prosperity's shining.
And hmans growing rich every day;
When n 6ese and comfort reclining,
And golden success crowns his way,
How friends Will then flock about himi
But il Fortune should happen to frown
How quickly he'll get the ''cold shoul-
der"
And pc clicked because he is down.
How kindly the world will smile on him
When life with its success abound!
How cordially -blandly-'twi greet him
As in pleasure he's riding around!
But then let reverses o'ertake him,
And friends, both in country and town,
Have n0ta kind word with to cheer him
But all kick him as soon as he's down!
Let q man get position or wealth,
(Matters not by intrigue or by fraud }
The world mods approvingly at him,
> And his acts it will loudly applaud;
What though he may be great villain,
With the simple, the wise, and the
clown, r., M-,
While he's mp he's a "tip-top fellow
down! . .
When o man has plenty of "grcenbacks, 4"
And he's healthy and fostive' and cay.
He's counted a 'bully good chum, then.
And the crowd approves all he may
say; .u:
But justlet him loose his treasure
Perchance chat his wealth may be
gone4 lr. -'
He'll get to bsnobody quickly.
And be sure to be kicked when he's
dowul'' 80,
What's. the use of being moral or honest,
Or strive to be upright and true,
For unless mans got '.lots OF money"
The worlds bound to ''put him right
through" -
They'll. 'go for him, certain and surely
From the jockey to the priest in his
And aliswill stand ready to snub him, d
And .idck him because he is down.

This disease. now so prevalent
throughout this section OF country,
suggest many anxious inquiries as
to its cause and treatment. We
tender our information, not as
mere hearsay. but from practical
experiments made upon q number
Of affeetedf fowls, from it's incipiency
to its termination, and in every
instance have the same cause pre-
ssented themselves. We found in
the crop and intestines of every
bird examined several blades of
grass. of characteristic sporadic
in its growth, with full evidance of
congestion, abundant secretion of
acrid mucus and an accumulation
of offensive gases, particularly
when the grass was present. And
knowing that spring vegetation
possesses laxative properties and
very frequently drastic purgative
effects, we concluded that q reason
able diagnosis had been reached
and clue to the real cause of
chicken cholera had been deter
mined. But presuming that we
had mistaken the real source of the
disease, the treatment adopted has
in a very great measure convinced
us that our opinion must be cor
rect, as nearly all Of the subsequent
cases rapidly recovered by the fol-
lowing treatment: Prepared chalk
and powdered charcoal equal parts,
powdered gum camphor and assa-
foetida equal parts and pure car
bolic acid. Mix all together and
give one tea-spoon+ful moxningan
night to ten chickens, 4saping tham
dry and warm and incidentally well
fed. We find this preparation, to
act as d thorough preventive and
should be given about once, or
twice each week. vi .uoi' .o,rl
