BBONCHITIS, OB INFLAMMATION, &o. 189 



Bronchitis, or Inflammation of the 

 Bronchial Tubes. 



This disease is usually the result of exposure to 

 cold and wet, or sudden changes of temperature ; 

 it is almost always preceded by a common cold 

 which has been neglected or overlooked. 



SYMPTOMS. Cough, which becomes by degrees 

 more painful, frequent, and husky ; the countenance 

 becomes anxious and distressed ; the breathing is 

 quick, heaving, and obstructed, in consequence of 

 tough tenacious phlegm ; unwillingness to move; the 

 breath is hot ; the cough is increased by moving 

 about, occurs in fits, and is wheezing in character; 

 no food is eaten ; the animal wastes ; skin becomes 

 dry, and is bound to the ribs ; the coat stares and 

 looks unthrifty. The animal may die from extension 

 of the disease to the substance of the lungs, as in 

 *' lung disease." 



TREATMENT. The earlier stages of this disease, 

 or catarrh, should be treated at once, as directed 

 under that head. Then a dose or two of the SPE- 

 CIFIC for that disease removes all danger. 



Remove the animal to a warm but well-ventilated 

 stable, and feed on warm mashes and gruel. 



Give first, at intervals of two hours, two or three 

 doses of the SPECIFIC for FEVER, A A, twenty drops 

 at a dose. This will allay the heat and fever to 

 some extent. Then alternate at intervals of three 

 hours, the SPECIFIC for COUGH, E E, with that for 

 FEVER, A A, the same doses, and continue this
