124 DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS. 



constant and very disagreeable, especially at night, and it is in 

 such cases that expectorants are useful to remove the accumulations 

 of mucus. The addition of morphia to the apomorphia solution 

 has the tendency to counteract the emetic effects of Ihe latter 

 drug.

In chronic bronchial catarrh inlialaiions of medicated vapors are 

 very useful, and especially the vapors of turpentine, where there 

 are great accumulations of mucus and a fetid breath. Inhalations 

 of tlie vapors of tar and carbolic acid are also useful. Internally 

 the author has found that a small pinch of bicarbonate of sodium 

 or Eochelle salt given daily in a teaspoonful of warm water is very 

 useful. In broncho-blennorrhoea the oil of turpentine has given 

 very good results. The action of tar is a little irregular and 

 destroys the appetite. Ichthyol and thiol are given in doses of 

 0.2 to 0.5 gramme several times daily. Narcotics should be 

 administered only when the cough is very severe. Intratracheal 

 injections, which are used by Dieckerhoff in the horse, after Levi's 

 method, may be used in the dog (solutions of iodide of potassium 

 or nitrate of silver) ; but the author has found that form of medi- 

 cation very difficult.
