CAUTION; Accurate diagnosis is necessary to differentiate between Blue - -Comb and Fowl Cholera. TREATMENT: Several types of treatment formerly recommended have mostly been replaced by the use of the Broad Spectrum antibiotics , ox of one of these with Furazolidone contained in a Tiighly fortified fded. For treatment of Growing Pullets we recommend the use of our EARLY BIRD No. 50 Medicated'Ration. For treatment of Layers we recommend our EARLY BIRD No. 49 Medicated Ration, Feed these for 4 to 5 days. We have found them quite effective. When a mash and grain program is followed it is well'to discontinue' the grain and replace it with a limited amount of our EARLY BfRD No. 33 Poultry Fitting Ration.
