AND PNEUMONIA IN CATTLE. 401 
did not indicate much fever, and the swelling was larger than in 
the latter disease. 
Treatment. \at Mai/. — I gave a purgative, and, as the tumour 
appeared in rather a sluggish state, I applied a blister, having 
first removed the foal. She was placed in a loose box, and orders 
were given that she should be fed on bran mashes. As the distance 
was rather great, I was not able to see her again until the 
5th . — The tumour under the throat was much decreased ; but, to 
my great annoyance, I found a large swelling on the near shoul- 
der, and another on the off hind leg. I ordered them to be bathed 
with warm water three or four times in the day, and, as I was 
afraid that fever was coming on, I left the following prescription : 
antim. tart. et potassae nitratis 3iv. This to be divided 
into four powders, of which one was to be given night and morn- 
ing in a little gruel, or in the animal’s mash. 
8^. — The tumours on the limbs have almost entirely disap- 
peared, but that on the neck is rather increasing. I left directions 
that poultices should be applied regularly twice every day. 
11M. — I found the tumour becoming quite callous, and neither 
increased nor decreased since the 8th ; but the animal was look- 
ing lively, and eating well. I gave a liniment for the hock, com- 
posed of equal parts of liquor ammonise, turpentine, and oil, 
leaving orders that the swelling should be rubbed twice a-day 
with it. 
1 5th . — The tumour has disappeared from the neck, but me- 
tastasis of inflammation has taken place, and the disease has 
attacked one of the eyes. I at first ordered cooling lotions, as 
Goulard’s extract, &c., taking care to keep the bowels open ; but 
finding that this had no effect, and that the eye was assuming the 
aspect of the chronic stage of ophthalmia membranarum (moon 
blindness), I gave a lotion composed of nitras argent. 9iij, et 
aquae distillatae : one or two drops to be put into the corner 
of the eye morning and evening. 
On the 27th the haze had quite disappeared, and the animal 
has since been in perfect health. 
This is rather an unusual case, as we seldom find the disease 
attacking so young a horse, and in such a complicated manner. 
I think Professor Dick advises to give, in those cases, calomel 
3ss once or twice a-day. 
Pneumonia in Cattle 
Is a disease which is at present very prevalent and fatal in 
this part of Ireland, although at a very unusual season for such 
a complaint.
