CHICKEN AND HOG CHOLERA. your
last issue there is a call for a remedy
for chicken cholera. give the follow
ing, which viii not only cure, but pre-
vent the disease Hyposulphite of soda,
two ounces; water, one gallen. Dis
solve and put pint of it In a suitable
weasel and let the fowls drink of it dur
ing the day. When used up, add an
other pint, and so on until the disease
disappears. It can also be used as q
preventive In the same way, or il can be
given to fowls by mixing up their food,
meal, with some of the solution.
send, also, the following recipe for
hog cholera, which is almost infallible.
1 have tested it in numerous instances.
1t is based upon chemical and scientific
principles. The combination is tonic,
aLti-fermentive, stomachic, slightly lax
alive and antacid Hyposulphite OF
soda, 1 H.; bicarbonate Of soda, ID :;

pulverized ay-Rpple-root, h water
(warm), 2 gallons. Dissolve, and give
about q quart of the mixture in a
bucket of swill twice day to about six
hogs. Let me add that the hyposul-
phite of soda given alone, dissolved in
water or in swill, will prevent hog
cholera. 1t is highly antiseptic and
arrests fermentation of the food in the
stomach and bowels. and consequently
diarrhea. It's reputation in medicine in
catalytic diseases is world wide, and
Why not good in similar diseases in the
lower ANIMALS? It can be obtained by
wholesale for ten or fifteen cents per
pound. A pound of it given every two
or three days will be sufficient for twelve
hogs, and will keep them healthy and
protect them from diseases of ali kinds.
