CATTI,B. 321 



from injudicious and careless drenching when the larynx is in a tem- 

 porarily relaxed state. It may be acute or chronic, and is divided ac- 

 cording to the seat of the inflammation into bronchitis proper, where the 

 large tubes are affected, or capillary bronchitis, where the smaller tubes 

 are affected. 



Symptoms. Loss of appetite, elevation of temperature, generally 

 104° to 105° F. The inspiration is incomplete, short, and painful, and 

 the expiration is prolonged. The pulse is increased in frequency, and 

 is hard. A characteristic and painful cough is present, but it is spas- 

 modic and incomplete. 



Treatment. The animal should be placed in a light, well ventila-

 violent purgatives. The body should be kept warm by blanketing. In 

 the early stages give three times daily, a draft composed as follows: 



2 drams Extract Belladonna, 



4 fluid ounces solution Acetate of Ammonium,

In the latter stage of the disease substitute the following formula, 

 which may be given twice daily: 



3 drams Carbonate of Ammonium, 



2 fluid ounces solution of Hydruchlorate of Strychnine, 



1 fluid ounce Spirits of Nitrous Ether, 

 ^ pint Water. 



In some cases the following is preferable to either of the above, and 

 may be given in a pint of linseed tea every four hours: 

 IJ ounces Spirits Nitrous Ether, 



2 ounces Spirits Aromatic Ammonia, 

 2 drams Powdered Camphor. 



The food should be light and nutritious. 



Bronchitis is liable to assume a chronic form if not properly treated 

 in the earliest stage. Remedial treatment is of little value when the 

 disease becomes chronic.

Bloody Urine. This is also called Red Water, Moor-ill, Haema- 

 turia, and Hsemaglobinuria. It is a common affection among cattle in
