 up a constant irritation and cougli, witiiout

 considerable quantity of coagulable lymph 

 has been eifused, it obstructs the passage of 

 the air in respiration in some degree, causing 

 that sonorous kind of breathing which is 

 termed thickness nfzi'ind, or roaring. A blister 

 to the throat has sometimes been found useful 

 in the chronic cou^b. One of the followino^ 

 alterati-\e balls is to be given every morning 

 until moderate purging is produced; and this, 

 if assisted by proper attention to exercise, 

 diet, and grooming, has oiten effected a cure. 

 The chronic cough is frequently occasioned 

 by worms in the bowels or stomach, and is 

 then to be treated accordingly. (See Worms.)
