38 LIST OF SPECIFICS AND REMEDIES. 



in old worn-out horses, and is similar to catarrh in 

 the human species. Sometimes a diseased tooth 

 in the upper jaw may give rise to a similar dis- 

 charge, bat this is not a true gleet. 



SYMPTOMS. The discharge is yellowish, or like 

 cream, and in some cases greenish. It may be dis- 

 charged in clots, or of some thickness, constantly 

 flowing, or snorted out in quantities ; it may come

 nose has a lead color. The discharge may stop 

 for a time, and then come on again, more profuse 

 than before. After continuing a long time, the 

 animal becomes thin and poor, and may finally 

 die of glanders. 



TREATMENT. The Specific for Distemper, Na-

 drops, three times a day. It will be found quite 

 sufficient to entirely control and finally arrest it.

The pleura is the delicate serous membrane, cov- 

 ering the lungs with one surface, and lining the 

 cavity of the chest with the other. Systematic 

 writers treat of the inflammation of this mem- 

 brane, pleurisy, and that of the substance of the 

 lungs, pneumonia, separately. But as this rarely 

 occurs in fact, and leads to no practical result in 

 the treatment, and indeed can rarely be detected 

 before death, we prefer the more practical course 

 of treating them together. An inflammation of
