Thousand* of Dollar* Saved by This Wonderful Discovery. Hundreds of thousands of dollars has been lost in the poultry business on ac count of the devastation among "the flocks, caused by cholera, roup, gape, and other fatal diseases. There have been many remedies advanced, but none seem to be so successful as the Ameri can Poultry Mixture. This will cure chickens in the last stage of cholera and roup, and is excellent for gapes. Do your fowls suffer from violent diarrhea, dropping • of the wings, stupor or ex cessive thirst? These are the first symp toms of cholera.^ Cholera is a germ disease and being infectious spreads rapidly through the entire flock. Take, time by the forelock; don't stop to ex periment with unreliable or untried remedies. Use this mixture at once and the sanitary measures they recommend in connection. Don't give the fowls up. Cholera is a terrible disease but this remedy cures it every time. It is also guaranteed for roup, which can be told by hoarse breathing^ swelled eyes, dis charge at the nostrils, resembling ca tarrh. Fifty dollars is offered for any case the Mixture will not Cure. If some of your fowls are diseased it will pre vent the rest from catching it. Try it. It is cheap, reliable and effective; a sci entific preparation, goes more than three times as far an any other remedy; does more good than all of them com bined.
