396 COMPENDIUM OF THE VETERINARY ART. 



give a mild laxative, and afterward the ano- 

 dyne ball or draught every morning : moderates 

 exercise is nsefnl. It is sometimes difficult 

 to cure this kind of cough; and, when appa- 

 rently removed, it often returns from trifling 

 causes. By persevering in the above mode 

 of tieatment, however, I have generally 

 succeeded. 



With respect to the cough which is caused 

 by worms in the stomach or bowels, it may 

 be distinguished by the general appearance 

 of the animal : he is commonly hidebound, 

 has a rough dry coat, and becomes thin, 

 though w^ell fed; he appears dull, and is fa- 

 tigued by moderate exercise. The most cer- 

 tain criterion however of the existence of 

 worms in the bowels is the appearance of a 

 white stain just beneath the anus, or their 

 being voided with his dung. 



This kind of cougli is less violent but more 

 frequent than the former kinds. (For th$ 

 treatment of it, see iVorms.)
