712 REVIEW — MANUAL OF VETERINARY HOMOEOPATHY. 
cough seizes the animal while he is eating. The remedies I 
employ in this case with the most success are the napellus 
aconitum, and more especially chamomile. I have often given a 
dose t 8 3 - of chamomile in the evening, and on the morrow the 
greater part of the symptoms have disappeared. 
“ I sometimes follow the chamomile with a dose of belladonna. 
This last medicine procures an evacuation of mucous matter, so 
abundant that the manger and floor are often covered with it. 
This flowing, when it evinces no character of malignity, I seek as 
much as possible to keep up by sponge and bryony.” 
Cough. — Some horses and dogs have an inveterate cough, dry, 
hoarse, jerking, and sometimes so violent that the animal grows 
thin, and loses his strength and appetite. “ I have remarked,” 
says Schmager, “ that one dose of cuprum almost always brought 
about an amelioration at the end of two or three days, and when 
repeated every morning it almost always determined a radical 
cure.” 
“ Pigs often have a dry, hoarse cough ; they eat little, and their 
dung is soft and liquid. From f to £ daily will generally effect 
a cure.” 
DlARRHCEA. — “ A calf,” says Herr Kinder, “ was attacked with 
diarrhoea. Its body was stiff, its eyes sunk in their orbits, the 
eyes swollen, and the mouth full of mucous matter. His excre- 
ments were whitish grey. I gave him | of rhubarb on the 20th of 
March, 1834; and on the 21st, the symptoms not having lost their 
intensity, I gave -fa of napellus. On the 22d there was slight 
amelioration ; he began to suck, but the diarrhoea continued. On 
the morrow, however, he was completely well. I gave napellus, 
because, on the examination of the entrails of several calves that 
had died of the disease, I saw that the lungs and intestines were 
attacked by gangrene. 
Tumours in the Uterus. — “ A mare of nine years old,” says 
an anonymous writer, “ fell ill. I found the thighs and teats slightly 
swollen — the vagina was also swollen, and she could not move her 
hind legs without evident pain. On examining as well as I could 
per rectum , I found that the womb was swollen, and that there 
were several elevations or soft tumours in it. I gave four globules 
of iron three times a-day, and at the end of fourteen days these 
tumours had disappeared without leaving the slightest trace.” 
Distemper of Dogs. — Dulness; the eyes dull and of a green- 
ish hue. A white or green discharge from the nostrils, at first 
very liquid, but quickly thickening; swelling of the eyelids, and 
discharge from the eyes like that which flows from the nose ; 
cough and loss of appetite. All these symptoms increase in 
intensity ; the skin and ears and extremities become cold, and 
convulsions resembling those of madness, and often mistaken for
