. The American fancier's poultry book. Poultry. POULTRY BOOK 91 Treatment. Remove the fowl to a dry and warm place, and give sweetened water slightly acidulated with nitric acid. A stimulant of a little cayenne or ginger may be beneficial to the biid. Symptoms. This term is applied to the corn or abcess Bumblefoot. which follows from a bruise of the skin. It may be caused by too narrow perches, or by walking upon sharp gravel,, which bruises or irritates the skin, or jumping from high roosts. Treatment. In cases where the tumor is soft and full of pus, or in the form of an abcess, a free puncture may be made, the matter pressed out and the part washed with warm water. In other cases where the tumor appears hard, an incision should be made in the form of a cross. Until the bird is cured the perch should not be over six inches from the ground, and the floor where the bird is confined should be well covered with chaff or chopped straw so as to relieve the pressure on the bird's foot as much as possible. It would be better if the bird was com- pelled to set upon the straw with no roost at all. Symptoms. This has frequently been alluded to as ulcera- Canker. tion; it usually occurs about the head, commencing with a watery discharge from the eyes, as with roup, which by degrees becomes firmer in character, and offensive in odor. The disease frequently extends to the throat, covering the back of the tongue with an ulcerous formation, sometimes entirely filling the larynx with the diseased secretion, and killing the bird by suffocation. Treatment. Wash with a solu- tion of four parts of water to one part of chlornated soda or fluid car- bolate, and "swabbing" the throat \^ and tongue if affected with a solu- $)" tion of this strength. Give this treat- ment three times a day, and mix a .^^^^S? teaspoonful of powdered sulphur with the food. Symptoms. Most fowls Catarrh* suffer from and all are sub- ject to a common cold, Rouen drake. which is shown by the sligh
