BRONCHITIS. 



the cause should be otlwr than oostlvsneM or diarrhoea, give thirty drops of the 

 tincture of aconite root, and itjpeat it in t-vro hour*. Apply blankeft, wnmg 

 out of hot water, to the belly, and renew them every fifteen minutes. 

 Give injeotiens of w&na (not hot) water, caitile 'soap, and a handful of 

 table salt evary half hour until the bowels movB some. There is a diversity 

 of opinion in regard to bleeding. It is my opinion th*t it is of doubtful 

 utility in this disease. 



BRONCHITIS. — Tills diseass oonslsts in an inflammation of the air 

 passages of the luaga. It is a very common disease among horses, and is 

 sometimes confounded with inflammation of the lungs (or lung fever), dis- 

 tempers and oelds. 



Symptems. — Segins with a chill, fever, harsh cough, labored breathing, 

 mouth hot and dry, with loss of appetite, and in one or two days a dtecharge 

 from the nostrils will be observed. 



TreatmeiU. — Give the horse a good, comfortable place (not too close nor 

 the reverse). Give fifteen to twenty drops tincture of aconite root, and re- 

 peat every four hours until six doses have been given, which will probably 

 relieve Uie fever. Let the horse have plenty of cold water to drink. We 

 wouM discourage the idea of bleeding, as it would be more likely, to do 

 harm than geod. 



After the fever has subsided (which will probably be about the second 

 day), give a few powders of the following: Mix pulv. lioorice root, pulv. 

 fenugreek and pulv. gentian, two ounces of each, and divide into six pow- 

 ders and give in feed two or three times a day, 



Chbohic Bhonohitib is the result of bad treatment of acute bronchitis, 

 and when the attack has been prolonged for some time. 



Symptomi. — A cough which seems to be confirmed, with discharge from 

 the nostrils, and cough worse after drinking and in the morning. 



Treatment. — Take of pulv. gentian and pulv. sulphate of iron, eight 

 ounces each. Mix thoroughly and divide into thirty-five powders and feed 

 twice a day until all has been given ; then make an ointment of red iodide 

 of mercury, one drachm, lard, one ounce, thoroughly mixed together. 

 Apply the above named ointment down the course of the windpipe, and the 

 next day apply sweet oil or lard to keep the skin from cracking. Repeat 

 the a]»plication of the ointment in one week. 



BURNS AND SCALDS.— When the bum is so deep as ts destroy the 

 skin and superficial tissues, we would recommend raw linseed oil, applied 

 with bandages, to protect the parts from the air, and allowed to remain for 

 several days. 



But when the skin is not destroyed we have found that "■' KendaO's Spavin 

 Cure " is an exceUeat remedy for such burns on manj bo we feel certaw it 

 will work etjualfy weU cm any animaL
