Solipeds stand obstinately throughout the disease, 

 other animals may lie. There is no tenderness on punch- 

 ing the ribs, as in pleurisy. 



Treatment. Eest in a warm, dry, airy building, clothe 

 warmly, bandage the hmbs in cold weather and give warm 

 sloppy mashes of wheat bran. A laxative is often useful 

 but if there is weakness, small pulse, prostration or any 

 yellowish tinge of the mucous membranes, is to be rejected 

 and warm water injections used in place to move the 

 bowels. Give frequent diuretics (nitre, sweet spirits of 

 nitre,) anodynes (belladonna, lobelia, aconite,) and expec- 

 torants (Hquor ammonia acetatis, oxymel of squill, guaia- 

 cum, ipecacuanha, antimony). The nose should be fre- 

 quently steamed, as if for strangles, and inhalations of sul- 

 phur fumes mixed with the air, and not too strong, may 

 be added. Mustard or other blisters should be appHed to 

 the sides of the chest, and repeated if any renewed access 

 of disease seems to demand it. When fever has nearly 

 subsided and there is left only a white discharge from the 

 nose tonics should be used. (See those recommended for 

 glaivlers.) 



When there is much prostration and weakness, stimu- 

 lants (aromatic ammonia, carbonate of ammonia, wine, 

 etc.,) may be required, even in the early stages.

This arises from the same causes as the acute disease 

 and often follows it. It is characterized by a frequent 

 weak wheezing, husky, almost inaudible cough, often oc- 

 curring in fits ; a white discharge from the nose, with 

 white floccuU, like buttermilk ; great shortness of breath 

 in exertion ; and a mucous rattle in the lungs. Percussion 

 shows increased resonance over the lower and posterior 

 borders of the lungs. The right side of the heart may be 

 enlarged and easily felt beating behind the right elbow. 



Treatment is not very satisfactory in cases of old stand- 

 ing. Feeding should be mainly of soft mashes, roots and
