DISEASES OF THE DIGESTIVE APPAEATUS. 



STOMATITIS: INFLAMMATION OP THE BUCCAL 

 MUCOUS MEMBEANE. 



We will not describe here stomatitis of a surgical order, pro- 

 duced by traumatic irritation (bits, foreign bodies, rough manipu- 

 lations) ; chemicals (potash, ammonia, alum, croton oil, cantharides, 

 emetics); hot substances (burns by drenches, by foods, by too 

 hot drinks); and those which originate as phenomena of other 

 affections (febrile diseases, papillomatosis of the dog and young 

 horse, aphthous fever, petechial fever, etc.), or those whiqh are 

 developed by continuity of tissue, during the course of a laryn- 

 gitis, or a pharyngitis, or a rhino-adenitis. Excluding these, we 

 may recognize in inflammations of the mucous membrane of the 

 mouth the following forms as those that are more or less charac- 

 teristic : 



1. Catarrhal or erythematous stomatitis; 



2. Aphthous stomatitis ; 



3. Ulcerative stomatitis; 



4. Pustulo-contagious stomatitis; 



5. Diphtheritic stomatitis; 



6. Pultaceous stomatitis. 



The first three must be studied as diseases of the digestive 

 apparatus ; the others belong to the list of contagious diseases.
