DISEASES OF THE HOG. ~ 45 
rhage may take place in the stomach and pass off 
by way of the bowels, which often happens when 
the quantity is too small to induce vomiting, the 
feces in this case are usually black. When we 
suspect hemorrhage the mouth and nostrils should 
be examined to find their condition. There is no 
difficulty in discriminating between hematemesis 
and hemoptysis (bleeding from the lungs). In the 
former, the blood is usually dark in color and co- 
agulated and mixed with the contents of the stom- 
ach and is discharged by vomiting. In the latter, 
it is bright red and frothy, never coagulated, fre- 
quently mixed with mucus, and brought up by 
coughing. Death is not the usual result, although 
the disease may be speedily fatal. In one case 
where a pig was kicked by a horse, causing hemat- 
emesis, the pig died in a short time. I made a 
post mortem and found the stomach distended 
with blood. In this case the animal did not vomit. 
So it may be that many cases may take place and 
kill the animal and the cause of death not be 
known. 
Treatment: Acetate of lead from one to two 
grains and opium one to two grains, given at a 
dose and repeated every two hours, is a most effi- 
cient internal remedy. If this should be rejected 
give lime water and milk to quiet the stomach, 
then give fifteen drops oil of turpentine and from 
fifteen to twenty-five drops tincture of opium, re- 
peat every two hours; if this should be rejected 
give a teaspoonful of tincture of opium in a little 
gruel as an injection. The fluid extract of ergot
