amenable to cui'ative measures. As regards ordinary pneumonia; 

 its treatment comprises protection from inclemencies of weather, 

 especially from wind and rain ; hand-feeding with ghee, flour, and 

 other strengthening substances, and a mixture of garlic, methee, 

 and salt, as recommended by Leach, to be thrown down the 

 throat every morning. This is similar to the stimulant treatment 

 mentioned by Gilchrist and doubtless is superior to his recom- 

 mendation to bleed energetically, physic, and give calomel 5j, 

 tartar emetic 5ss., made up into a ball with soap twice or thrice 

 daily for five daj's. He recommends tonics during' convalescence. 

 Oliphant gives opium in half tolah doses and bhang in two 

 ounce doses, and supports the strength; and, further, applies oil 

 of Turpentine with friction to the throat and chest. 



Pulmonary Apoplexy, described by Gilchrist as Budda Bhao, 

 is a sudden death after the animal has all at once commenced 

 to breathe laborioiisly. In autopsy the lungs are found gorged 

 with black blood and with bloody serous effusion in the air 

 passages. Whether this is true pulmonary apoplexy as induced 

 by excessive work especially when the animal is out of condition 

 and the weather trying or Avhether it is but a pulmonary form of 

 anthrax must be determined in each case. Prompt and full bleed- 

 ing affords the only chance of saving the animal. This is but 

 one of the forms of severe disease terminating speedily in death 

 termed Bhao by Natives, they have apparently no idea whatever 

 as to its true pathology but Gilchrist tells us that they are under 

 the impression that in inflammation of the lungs those organs 

 become over-distended within which becomes forced into the 

 lower part of the neck. 



Strongylus filaria (Rud.) has been found in the lung's of • 

 both species of camel but there is no evidence to hand as to 

 occurrence of Verminous Bronchitis in this animal. 



Chronic Disease of Lungs [Soolfay ha murz (Gil.)] is of three 

 kinds, which must be carefully distinguished from one another 

 in records of cases. The first is Chronic Bronchitis and 

 Pneumonia in which abscesses may be found in the lungs and 

 some fluid in the chest. Lombardini notices this disorder and 

 thinks it may be considered as generally supervening on
