Pharyngitis. 
By pharyngitis is meant an acute inflammation of the 
Pharynx, which is an organ situated at the back part of 
the mouth, and is the connecting link between it and the 
tube leading directly into the stromach. 
Cause—It is usually brought about through some for- 
eign substance, such as oat straw or wheat beards, lodging 
in its passage from the mouth into the esophagus, the 
latter being the tube leading to the stomach. 
HOW TO KNOW IT. 
We find the throat and glands of the neck more or less 
enlarged, considerable tenderness upon pressure, neck 
stretched and head extended. It will be noticed that it is 
very painful for the animal to swallow, if indeed he can do 
so at all. In his efforts at drinking, water returns by way 
of the nose. This disease presents many of the symptoms 
which are found in Laryngitis, a disease of the airpassage, | 
but is much easier controlled; auout the only difference of 
any note is the symptoms of the two are the hacking cough 
and high fevers found in Laryngitis. The treatment em- 
ployed is very similar in both diseases. |
