LIST OF SPECIFICS AND EEMEDIES. 37 



SORE THROAT. 



This form of disease often occurs in connection 

 with, or as a mere symptom of a cold or Bronchitis,

 those affections. But it sometimes appears as a 

 more isolated disease, and deserves consideration 

 accordingly. 



SYMPTOMS. The throat is quite hot, painful, 

 swelled on the outside ; it is painful also internally, 

 as the horse has difficulty in swallowing his food, 

 he " quids " it, that is, partly chews and then 

 drops it; the glands under the jaw and below the

 breathing become more and more difficult, and 

 the animal at times seems nearly suffocated ; and 

 there is always fever. 



TREATMENT. No other medicine will be re- 

 quired internally beyond the Specific for Inflam- 

 mation, No. 1, and a dose of five drops may be 

 given every two or three hours until the disease 

 has manifestly abated, and then at longer inter-

 expedite the cure.
