REMEDY FOR Liver TROUBLE
Generally Caused by Indigestion
Brought on by irregular = I'm.
proper Feeding Of Fowls.

Generally speaking. liver trounles
follow acute Indigestion. This indi-
gestion may be brought about by IT
regular feeding or being fed on one
kind of grain too long, dirt and Sour
feed, with a poor supply of grain. TO
withhold the feed a long time n
then allow 1t in over amount Is n
OF the most fruitful sources OF diges'
tive disorders.
Drinking water which has been
contaminated with filth, or which mas
stood In a warm place or In the sun
shine until 1t has become putrid; ex-
posture to draughts, cold rains, OF
damp roosting quarters. particularly
during the melting season. are all con
ducive to indigestion.
II any one Of these conditions Il
rounds your fowls, change them, put
ting them in light. dry houses and
giving them wholesome. nutritious
food. In very bad cases give daily
five grains of rhubarb and every
day one grain Of calomel. Give them
plenty of grit and charcoal. Char
coal is one of the best purifiers for
the system of either fowl. animal or
man
The liver is one of the most i'm
portant organs of the body, furnishing
bile, one of the principal digestive
fluids. 1t also assists in some of the
most necessary chemical changes
which occur in the blood. 1t is there
fore an easy matter for it to become
deranged from the causes that pro-
duce Indigestion.
Inflammation of the liver is quickly
followed by death unless immediate
relief can be given. The symptoms
are a yellow appearance of the skin
and yellow or slightly bloody evacu
tions.
One of the chief indications of this
disorder is lameness, especially of the
right leg. and when this shows itself
you may be pretty sure that inflamma-
ton of the liver is going on. The
treatment of birds so affected is not
profitable unless they are very valu-
able for breeding or exhibition pur-
poses. The remedy Is one-half to one
grain of calomel to begin with, fol.
lowed by 20 grains of Epson salts and
2 grains of bicarbonate of soda after
IL hours. N~apththol or benzo-napthol
may be given twice a week to disin.
feet the intestinal canal.
When the sick bird is considerably
improved. give green food. tonics oil
raw beef. and allow the bird free ex.
ercise in the open air. The disease
Is not contagious, but the cause that
produced it in one bird may affect the
whole flock.

One may suppose. then. that the conversation at
the Christmas dinner was more than ordinarily
entertaining. As n matter Of course. everybody
was hungry: for. according to the custom OF
those days. there were only two meals-breakfast.
which was early. and dinner. Tho necessity for
supper was removed by a great prolongation Of

was the duty Of the hostess gently tn persuade
her guests to gorge themselves to repletion. while
the host made II his business to press wine and
other drinkables upon the men to an extent which
In these times would be considered most Inn
prudent.
