212 SPLENITIS, OR INFLAMMATION OF THE SPLEBIC. 



SYMPTOMS It generally begins with symptoms 

 of pain in the belly, attended with quickened breath- 

 ing and heaving at the flanks ; pain is manifested 

 at the upper part of the flanks when pressed upon 

 the muzzle is dry and roughened, and the 

 tongue brownish ; there are frequent low moan- 

 ings ; no appetite or chewing of the cud ; a swell- 

 ing will be found at the left side and flank, which 

 may be mistaken for hoove ; but the two diseases 

 will be distinguished by noticing that in hoove the 

 swelling is greater and conies on very rapidly, and 

 that when struck upon a clear, hollow, drum-like 

 sound is returned, while in inflammation of the 

 spleen the sound is dull and heavy; the animal 

 is lame when he walks, or he walks with difficulty. 



TREATMENT. The SPECIFIC for FEVER, A A, will 

 be found to cover the disease perfectly. Give twenty 

 drops every four hours.
