" "PIP." ? TO OF THE EVENING' POST
THBjMDITOfi, Fribkd,—Tena koe. On perusing youi valuable paper of this day's date, 1 find thai some good-natured person is in distress abdul bis fowls. From the symptoms given; ] would pronounce the disease to be " pip,' and very fatal if not cured at an early stage. " Pip " is described by John Walker to be " a dennxion with which fowls are troubled j a horny pellicle that grows on the tip of then tongues.' Remedy—Catch the fowl, and holding between the knees place the thumb of the left hand on the gnllet of the bird, which will cause the tongue to protrude, then with a finger-nail of the right hand scrape underneath the tongue and towards the tip until the Bkin is raised, and then with the thumb and finger pull away, what to all appearance, is very like a husk c? wheat. After this very simple operation, give a teaspoonful of castor oil. I have cured scores. From your friend, TIKAOKAO. sth January.
