examination of the tissues may be necessary in order to confirm the
diagnosis.

The same _methods of treatment_ as recommended in tuberculosis of other
domestic animals may be used in eliminating the disease from the premises
and flock. This consists in killing and cremating all birds showing visible
symptoms, moving the apparently healthy portion of the flock to new
quarters and wiping the eggs with alcohol. The old quarters should be
cleaned, disinfected, and then allowed to stand empty for several months,
when we should again spray with a disinfectant, and scatter lime over the
runs. If the cleaning and disinfecting have been thorough, we may safely
turn young or healthy birds into the old quarters. All possible precautions
against carrying the infection to the healthy flock must be observed.
