, WHY WILL YE DIE?MRS. ROOTEHTOOT’S 8HAXGHIGH BITTERS ANDFEMALE PULLET PILLS.I take pleasure in placing the following advertisement before fowl fanciers and egg cultivator*, confident that at last a great medical discovery has been made, which will not only increase the poultry crop, but also fill a vacancy in the cropa of all hens that has heretofore been unfilled.To the scientific poultry-breeder I have one word to say. Are your hens as lively as they were several years ago? Are they troubled with indisposition to perform the (o)various duties of life? Are they not inclined to solitude andperverse attempts at incubating old procelain door-knobs, corn-cobs, and many other articles resembling eggs? Are they troubled with cold feet, difficulty of breathing, dimness of vision arter sundown, and liability to fall off the roost in the silent watches of the night? If so, do not lay it to dispepsia, but procure the 8hang-high bitters at once.Gentle reader, are your pullets troubled with nervousness, dreadful horror of Thanksgiving, enormous appetite, inclination to blush when spoken to aoruptly, spots flying before the eyes, (principally spots of clubs) norror of old lien’s society, In fact no earnestness, no speculation in regard to the price of eggs, and often no eggs to speculate upon? These symptoms, ii allowed to go on without trying tue pills or bitters, soot result in chicken pie or gtblet stews and death.All fowls are subject to the same atmospheric influences that human beings are, and require tonics and medicines, especially about the time they arrive at the spring chicken period or during the holidays. The Pullet Pills” are good for the following complaints:Gapes—This disease, so common to youngchickens, turkeys, geese, ducks,owls, buzzards, etc., etc., can be cured in a few years by the P. Pills. If your chickens are inclined to gape frequently, especially about rooBting time, they have got it baa and should be at once treated.Croup—Sometimes called roup, is another terrible complaint and is frequently occasioned by wet feet, or roosting on damp poles. If the disease has progressed so far that the patient has a hacking cough, give her a lox of pills and hack her head oil'. This w ill relieve the throatat once.Pip—This Is a painful, though not a dangerous complaint; if the fowl pips all the time, let her pip.Read the following testimony:Ahpersoktowk, Oct., ’71.Mas. Rootbntoot : About three weeks ago I had a flock of Tailor geese suddenly attacked With “hog cholera.” The hog had collared Several with fatal results, when my cholcr arose and I bought a box of your pills and gave them to the geese. They did not eat them, but the hog did, and I have lost noue since.Thomas 8teelwell,PafawGucu, Oct., 1871. Mrs. R.:—I have used your Bhanghigh Bitters in my hen coop very successfully for several weeks. The reason I use them in the coop is because my wife won’t permit any tonic about the house. I was In miserablehealth for weeks previous, was uhcn-pccked” constantly until I eould hardly “peep.” I am now' improving and “crow” all the time.Jozuf Lowiton,Ziowotlle, October 15, 1871.This Is to certify that I have thoroughly tested Mrs. Rootentoot’s Pullet Pills, and find them just what they arc claimed to be, a pleasant spherical inducement to deposit eggs. Previous' to using it my hens did not lay at ail, but since using it they lay from three to five times a day, and are giniug on that. The old rooster, by mistake, swallowed a box of your pills and he has also been laying ever since—in the ditch. C. O. D.The Rev. Mr. Slasher, of Red Hot, says:“My chickens were suffering from gapes and pip; when they were not gaping they*were plp-Fing, and life was speedily becoming a burden, used your Shanghigh Bitters, and have had no trouble with my fowls since. I am confident they will never trouble me again.” Directions for Use—Give each chicken from one to three bottles of bitters every morning. If they don’t keep them down put a cork in their windpipe. If, after forty bottles are taken and no improvement ensues, I will take the fowl or a judgment note on your property, and you can return your bottles.From one to ten boxes of pills is a dose for young fowls. The best way to give the remedy is to tickle the chicken under the wings until it langhs, when the pills can be shot down its throat with a musket or horse-pistol.Nancy Rqotkntoot, Inventor and Proprietor, --,i,
