36 LIST OF SPECIFICS AND REMEDIES. 



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 distance. 



The outside of the throat is hot, painful, and 

 swelled; swallowing is sometimes difficult, and 

 the fluid returns 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, be- 

 comes more hoarse and feeble, and occurs 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 narrowness of the windpipe, 

 the horse actually dies for want of breath. 



TREATMENT. The treatment is by no means 

 difficult or complicated. Give the Specific No. 1, 

 for Inflammation, five drops every three hours 

 until three or four doses have been given, and 

 then alternate it with the Cough Specific, No. 5, 

 at the same intervals until the animal is relieved. 



Should the windpipe be very sore to the touch 

 outside, it may be occasionally bathed with our 

 liniment with advantage.
