^4 Inflammation of the Lungs. 



of the animal are found to encrease, it will be adviseablc to lead hinr 

 out into the open air, three or four times a day, for a few minutes at. 

 a time, unless the weather be yeiry severe, >And in very cold weather 

 .this will be the less necessary, if he have the advantag^e of being m 

 a roomy situation, which will admit pf his moving about, and lying 

 idowrt agreeably ta his .own inclinations. But, in g-ood weather, bd 

 iplan of treatment will be found so conducive to the animal's speedy 

 recovery, as turning' him into a paddock to graze for an hour or two 

 in the middle of the day, during the cool seasons of the year ; and 

 in the morning and evening during the heat of summer, or early part 

 of the autumn. In the space of ten or tvrelve days after tl>e appIicatjoB 

 of the blisters, provided any Cough should remain^ a Rowel may be 

 put into the chest, with advantage, provided that part have not been 

 blistered as well as the sides. 



It very commonly happens, after blistering, that there is conside- 

 rable tumefaction of the skin in the neighbourhood, which puts on 

 the appearance of what is called water-farcy, in this case, the 

 parts should.be freely scarified with a lancet, which operation will 

 often occasion a very considerable dischargee of bloody lymph from 

 the orifices. 



Ib a day or. two after wards^ strong frictions to the part will gene- 

 rally tlisperse any remains of sweUing. In those cases of nflammation 

 of the Lungs, which terminate fatally, we find, most commoiJy, on 

 dissection. Water in the Chest; in a few instances, deep-seated 

 and extensive Congestion, and now and then the Bronchiae (or Air 

 Tubes) are full of purulent matter. In the two former cases the 

 progress of the disease is commonly rapid.
