Broken wings are best treated by tying the points of the quill feathers together in a natural position and keeping the bird in an empty place, where there is no perch to tempt it to fly. Broken legs may be bandaged round by strips of stout brown paper soaked in white of egg well beaten up with a fork, the leg should be kept steady by two splints of wood until the paper has become dry, when it will be found sufficiently firm to remain secure if wound round with a turn or two of thread. DISEASES OF THE BRAIN are not unfrequent in overfed fowls, apoplexy being the most frequent. The birds affected fall suddenly from their perches and are found dead. Little can be done in the way of cure; much in the way of prevention, by abstaining from unnatural food; in an actual attack, if the bird is seen before death, it may be bled by opening the vein on the under side of the wing, but the chances of recovery are but small. Paralysis also arises from the same cause. In vertigo, which depends on an undue determination of blood to the brain, the fowls run round and round or stagger about; letting a stream of cold water on the head immediately relieves, this should be followed by a grain of calomel or ten of jalap, in severe cases it may be necessary to open a vein. In most of the older poultry books certain nostrums, as rue and butter, are constantly recommended; rue is a violent irritating stimulant, and I am not aware of any disease affecting fowls in which its use is at all likely to be productive of good effects.
