96 DISEASES OF HORSES AND CATTLE. 



Symptoms: A swelling is noticed on each side 

 pf the throat where the throat latch of the bridle 

 comes. In some cases it grows very rapidly, in 

 others it is of slow growth. In pressing on the 

 gland it moves easily under the skin, although it 

 feels hard. When it grows large it sometimes in- 

 terferes with the animal's wind and is unsightly. 



Treatment: It is usually reduced by using the 

 following: Biniodide of mercury, one dram; lard, 

 one and a half ounces; mix and rub on a little 

 every second week ; also give one dram of iodide of 

 potassium twice a day in a bran mash and con- 

 tinue it for three or four weeks.
