INFLAMMATION OF THE LABYKX. LARYNOHTIS. Ill 



It is sometimes a dangerous disease, and may kill 

 by suffocation or degenerate into bronchitis or 

 pneumonia. It is recognized by the difficulty of 

 respiration, WHICH is LOUD AND HEARD AT A DIS- 

 TANCE. 



The outside of the throat is hot, painful and 

 swelled ; swallowing is sometimes difficult, and 

 the fluid even may return by the nose ; the 

 breathing is short and difficult, and when the 

 air is drawn into the lungs a rough harsh 

 sound is heard in the larynx ; the cough, at first short 

 and hard, becomes more hoarse and feeble, and oc- 

 curs in fits especially during an attempt to swallow ; 

 the pulse is quick, hard and full, and skin hot As 

 the disease advances, the breathing becomes more 

 difficult, and is attended with a rasping, crowing 

 sound, the neck is straightened and held stiffly, the 

 head raised and larynx drawn towards the breast, the 

 nostrils are widened, the nose lead colored, the eyes 

 red, skin damp with sweat, the pulse becomes weak 

 and irregular, and at last from the increasing narrow- 

 ness of the windpipe, the horse actually dies for want 

 of breath. 



TREATMENT. The treatment is by no means dif- 

 ficult or complicated. Give the SPECIFIC, A A, for 

 INFLAMMATION, fifteen drops every hour during the 

 violence of the disease, and until the difficult breath- 

 ing has abated and the animal becomes comparative- 

 ly easy. Then the intervals may be prolonged to 

 two and then to three hours, or more until entire re- 

 lief is obtained. If a cough remains the E E, may 

 be given in alternation with the A A, to complete 

 the cure.
