is added, say one fluid drachm to one ounce of the former. 
This should be well rubbed into the sides. In the later 
stages vegetable tonics with the iodide of iron, one to 
three grains, will promote absorption of the chest effusion, 
or tapping must be resorted to, the trocar being passed 
through the space between seventh and eighth ribs, im- 
mediately above the sternum. In pneumonia and bron- 
chitis nothing answers so well as the castor oil mixture, 
or mild salines for producing a lax state of the bowels, 
actual purgation being highly prejudicial. 
In the Lstemper forms of the two  first-named 
diseases, which are characterised by great debility, the 
list of Expectorants will furnish appropriate formule for 
bolus or draught. 
YVerminous Bronchitis,—This form of disease, due 
to the presence of small worms in the air passages near 
the lungs, has been seen chiefly in young dogs. The 
parasite is located in numerous small elevations on the 
mucous membrane, giving rise to considerable irritation. 
The symptoms are those of bronchitis, the cough being 
short and husky, death following convulsions in most 
cases. 
Treatment.—Stimulants and tonics should be given 
internally, and the patient caused to inhale dilute 
chlorine gas. The best method is the intra-tracheal 
method, or injection of the remedy direct into the wind- 
pipe by means of a suitable syringe. The most effectual 
remedies are ‘‘Sanitas ” Oil or the “‘Sanitas” Fluid, tur- 
pentine, or solution of carbolic acid, three to ten drops of 
one of these being mixed with twenty or thirty of glycerine, 
to which three to ten drops of chloric ether is added, and 
the whole well shaken. 
In the dog the worm proves to be one of the species 
known as Strougylus, a small white, slender, thread-like 
parasite, the male being about one-fourth of an inch in 
length, and the female not more than one-sixth or one- 
eighth of aninch. The mature female brings forth her 
young alive. The parasite has been named Strongylus 
canis bronchialts, and may possibly prove to be a stagal 
develupment of the Strongylus filaria of the sheep, &c,
