5i;2 CARBUNCULAB QUINSY. 



Post-mortem appearances. Evidence of acute inflamma- 

 tion of the larynx and pharynx, and especially of the tonsil 

 on one side. The other lesions are similar to those occurring 

 in any animal that dies of anthrax, or from an acute inflam- 

 matory affection. 



The quinsy of the pig is often enzootic or epizootic, and

 must be either extirpated freely with the knife, or very 

 deeply cauterized. Cold water may be allowed to the ani- 

 mals, with vinegar and nitre in it. Washing the throat fre- 

 quently with chlorine water, administering an emetic or 

 purgative as in malignant sore throat, persisting in the use 

 of injections, and giving stimulants to support the animal 

 through the attack, constitute the chief means that can be 

 employed by us. A drachm of aloes has been prescribed by 

 Leroy, besides the use of potassio-tartrate of antimony fre- 

 quently, in moderate doses. 



TEACHEITIS. 



Inflammation of the trachea is rarely seen unless as an 

 extension of laryngitis and bronchitis. 'Under this head the

 Scotchmen may be further interested in the fact that the 

 term has been generally adopted ove/ the continent of Europe,
