Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canary Book: Containing Full Directions for the Breeding, Rearing, and Management of Canaries and Canary Mules; Cage Making, &C.; Formation of Canary Societies; Exhibition Canaries, Their Points, and How to Breed and Exhibit Them; And All Other Matters Connected With In consequence of the great and rapid progress that has been made during the past ten years in the art of Canary-breeding, I have found it necessary to issue a Third Edition of the "Canary Book." In doing so I have endeavoured to treat fully and accurately upon every subject of interest to lovers and breeders of these delightful pets. I have now given a full and complete account of those direful maladies, Typhus and Scarlet Fever, the result of over twenty years' experience and study since my first discovery of these diseases attacking birds. Their cause, prevention, and general treatment are fully discussed. Further, I have included information on some maladies not hitherto mentioned, and have extended my remarks on other complaints from which birds arc known to suffer. Other subjects not previously dealt with in this or any other work on Canaries are also treated, and I have endeavoured to set right several matters that have hitherto given rise to contention and heart-burning among fanciers generally.
