and rests on the ground. This condition
occurs in warm weather and Is supposed
to be caused by the fowls eating decom
posed flesh in which a ptomaine has de
veloped. The poison causes partial para
lysis of the neck muscles and often re
sults in the death of the birds. Maggots
eaten by chickens do not cause the
disease, except as they may contain the
poison which they have obtained from
the decaying flesh.
As in most diseases, the most effective
cure is prevention. All dead fowls and
other dead animals should be burled or
burned. Treatment of the disease Is not
usually effective, but the best known
cure is a toaspoonful of castor oil. The
disease in the above instance, is prob
ably caused by feeding decomposed meat
and scraps from the hmif-e.
