PLEURODYNIA. 



This is a term applied to rheninatism of the intercostal muscles. 

 The apparent symptoms are quite similar to those of pleurisy. The 

 animal is stitf and not inclined to turn around, and the ribs are kept 

 in a fixed state as much as possible. Pleurodynia may be distin- 

 guished from pleurisy by the coexistence of rheumatism in other 

 parts and by the comparative absence of fever, cough, the friction 

 sound, and the effusion into the chest. The treatment for this affec- 

 tion is the same as that for rheumatism affecting other parts.
