In all febrile diseases of cattle, it is of the utmost 

 importance to house them in a warm, dry, comfort- 

 able stable, free from exposure, dampness, or cold 

 drafts of air, especially in cold or moist weather. 



Cough.. 



Cough in the cow is rarely or never a disease of 

 itself, but merely a symptom or attendant of some 

 disease of the respiratory organs, such as Catarrh, 

 Bronchitis, Pleurisy, or Pneumonia, of which it is 

 merely the indication. Its symptomatic importance 

 is such that it always deserves attention, and its 

 cause should at once be carefully investigated. In 

 some case very grave alterations may be going on in 

 the lungs, which will escape notice if attention be 

 not directed to it by means of the cough. Examine 

 the animal carefully, ascertain the state of her pulse, 

 breathing, appetite, secretion of milk, etc., and 

 direct treatment for such disease as is found to be 

 present. 



However, in the absence of any special indica- 

 tions, the SPECIFIC for COUGH, E E, should be given, 

 a dose of twenty drops morning and night, which 

 will generally relieve and will not be out of place in 

 any case.
