All the medicines prescribed may be bought at an apothecary's or druggist's. If no directions are added to the name it must be asked for by that here given. Attention must be paid to the number which stands before each prescription, for there are many different dilutions and solutions of the thing mentioned, and each one applies only to the case in point. The bird-keeper must use his own judgment as to measurements in diluting or dissolving, but the strength of the sick bird should be rather under than over rated. The sub-cutaneous injections must be made with a very small glass syringe with a very fine point on the fleshy part of the breast.
