REMEDY FOR PLEURISY. 263 



The symptoms change and gradually grow worse. If not 

 relieved by tapping, death soon follows. 



Remedy. — Xo bleeding. After a laxative give a drench 

 of acetate ammonium, camphor, and nitric ether every 4 

 hours, with the addition of aconite in acute cases in vig- 

 orous subjects. Hot cloths and blisters as above for pneu- 

 monia. Stimulate with carbonate ammonium, iodide pot- 

 assium, and digitalis, combined, in dram doses. Tincture 

 perchloride of iron with nux vomica as tonic. Generous 

 diet. 



Acute Pulmonary Congestion occasionally results 

 from overwork. It is manifested by extreme difficulty in 

 breathing, profuse cold sweats, cold extremities, very rapid 

 and almost imperceptible pulse, rapid respirations and 

 sometimes a mucous discharge, mingled with a little blood, 

 from the nostrils. The ox lies down, coughs frequently 

 and has a wild look. 



Bleeding from the Lungs may be due to acute pol- 

 monary congestion, lung laceration, or consumption. The 

 blood may flow profusely, vary in color, be mixed with 

 mucus, and be discharged from both the nose and mouth.
