which escaped with eve bruises.
The neighing Of the imprisoned beasts
was painful to hear. They jumped
around and rushed furiously against

flames. but to no purpose, as no as

The Use of Aconite.

The value of aconite cannot be too
highlv extolled in the curing and pre-
venting of poultry diseases, especially
in colds and their results, says the
Homestead. In cases of roup, that is,
IN the early part of the disease, it is an
infallible remedy. Wallace says when
the disease first starts five drops of the
tincture of aconite in a teaspoonfui of
water, twice a day, will cure roup.
The aconite may be given on pieces of
bread, but mixing with some liquid is
better. II. S. Babcock SAYS for a cold
uothing is better than warm quarters,
with a few drops of aconite in the
drinking water, the supply being limit
ed in quantity to insure the taking of
the medicine. 1t is also valuable in
apoplexy, a disease where the afflicted
bird staggers and falls, breaths heavy
~bloodshot. In this case the birds
mouth is held open and half a dozen
pellets given. In ''chip" in young
fowls, when the little chicks seem to
have internal heat, and %outwardly
shiver and shake as if cold, a dozen pei
lets of aconite dissolved in a pint of
drinking water has a wonderful effect.
In case of coryza, or catarrh, a dozen
pellets dissolved in a half tumbler of
water and then mixed with meal, 70
used to moisten bread, is recommended.
In diarrhea or dysentery the same rem
edy is given in the drinking water.
In diseases of the eye it is also used.
In cases of dizziness or vertigo it is
prescribed in the same way. When
young chickens are beginning to feath-
er it helps them admirably; a dozen
pellets dissolved in a pint of drinking
water. In cases of hernea (~protrusion
of the g passage) it allays fever.
Apply il through the drinking water,
When there is an apparent hoarseness
or sneezing aconite is the sovereign
remedy applied in the drinking water.
During the molting it allays fever. In
short, aconite is very useful in the first
stages of a large number of ailments.
1t would be best to have a bottle of
pellets and a bottle of the tincture
constantly on hand. They can be had
Of any homeopathic physician or phar-
macy.

county. Kansas, contributes from his
