ay with the evacuations from the bowels; symptoms of abdominal
pain are present; the loins become extremely tender; and the animal dies
in a greatly prostrated condition.

The treatment does not differ from that prescribed in case of Red
Water.

BRONCHITIS.

The trachea and bronchial tubes are frequently the seat of inflammation,
especially in the spring of the year,--the symptoms of which are often
confounded with those of other pulmonary diseases. This inflammation is
frequently preceded by catarrhal affections; cough is often present for
a long time before the more acute symptoms are observed. Bronchitis
occasionally makes its appearance in an epizooetic form.

_Symptoms._--A peculiarly anxious expression of the countenance will be
observed; respiration laborious; a husky, wheezing, painful cough; on
placing the ear to the windpipe a sonorous _rale_ is heard; symptomatic
fever also prevails to a greater or less extent.

_Treatment._--Counter-irritation should be early resorted to; strong
mustard, mixed with equal parts of spirits of hartshorn and water, and
made into a thin paste, should be applied all along the neck, over the
windpipe, and to the sides, and should be well rubbed in; or, the
tincture of cantharides, with ten drops of castor-oil to each ounce,
applied in the same manner as the former, will be found equally
effective. Give internally ten drops of Fleming's tincture of aconite
every four hours, until five or six doses have been given; after which
give one of the following powders twice a day: nitrate of potash, one
ounce; Barbadoes aloes, one ounce; Jamaica ginger, half an ounce;
pulverized-gentian root, one ounce; mix and divide into eight powders.
If necessary a pound of salts may be given.

CONSUMPTION

This affection--technically known as _phthisis pulmonalis_--is the
termination of chronic disease of the lungs. These organs become filled
with many little cysts, or sacks, containing a yellowish or
yellowish-white fluid, which in time is hardened, producing a condition
of the lungs known as tuberculous. These tubercles in turn undergo
another change, becoming soft in the centre and gradually involving the
whole of the hardened parts, which, uniting with adjoining ones, soon
forms cysts of considerable size. These cysts are known as abscesses.

No treatment will be of much service here. It is, therefore, better, if
the animal is not too poor in flesh, to have it slaughtered.
