The Medicine Chest

A farmer called US up to get a
p medy for sores which were break
ing out on the heads and in the
lhroats of his chickens. We advised
hIm to use carbolized yaseline ex-
ternally, and peroxide of hydrogen
applied with a medicine drcpper in
the throat and nose. He replied
that he coulden't afford to spend
money buying medicine for his
chickens; that he supposed there
was something he could do.
Carbolated vaseline and peroxide
OF hydrogen should be in every fam
lily medicine chest, regardless of
their value for the chickens. Per-
oxide is useful as a disenfectant,
and wherever there is a sore. 1t is
used for chickens with roup, and to
offensive surfaces. Carbonized vas
cline is asesul in case Of chickenpox
