Round worms. Internal Los worms, etc. Both forms of these parasites, external and internal, live at the expense of the fowl and not only rob the fowl of its life blood but also are a constant irritation to the individual. This constant irritation, together with the loss of strength, have a marked tendency to weaken the fowl, to lower its vitality, which in turn brings about a condition favorable for the entrance of disease germs. What happens? Why, the weakened fowl is not able to fight off the disease germs and if treatment is not administered at once the loss of the bird follows. Allow it to be said right here that the secret of success in treating sick birds, or ‘“‘doctoring’’ them, is to treat just as soon as the individual is found to be out of condition.
