with the adenitis, is the cause of the sudden cessation of the 
suppuration and nasal discharge. 
When the acute stage has been passed, the animal still 
remains diseased; it has lost its vivacity; the abdomen is 
retracted; the skin has lost its lustre; the appetite is in 
abeyance; there is constipation or diarrhoea; the respiration 
becomes altered; emaciation progresses, and at last the patient 
dies. In these cases the intestinal mucous membrane is 
affected with a chronic catarrh, and the bronchial lymphatic 
glands, as well as those of the inguinal and axillary regions, 
are tumefied and suppurating. 
Sometimes the adenitis does not become completely 
developed ; the irritation of the nasal mucous membrane and 
the discharge are insignificant, while the tumefaction of the 
lymphatic glands is slight, cold, and indolent. After from 
eight to fourteen days tumours appear in different parts of 
the body; these suppurate in two or three days, discharging- 
unhealthy pus for a long time, while oedematous swellings 
occur in the thighs, sheath, and scrotum. 
The fever accompanying adenitis, from being of an inflam¬ 
matory character may, in certain cases, assume that of puru¬ 
lent infection; the nasal discharge is then of a brownish 
muco-purulent and corrosive nature; the glands, instead 
of suppurating, become gangrenous ; oedematous tumours 
show themselves in various regions—lips, scrotum, under the 
abdomen, &c.—-and soon ulcerate, assuming the characters 
of true ulcers, and covered with a sanious matter; the flow 
from the nose becomes foetid, the Schneiderian membrane 
ulcerates, and a colliquative diarrhoea terminates the animal’s 
life : this is pyaemia. 
Sometimes the disease is complicated by suppurative 
arthritis of the carpus, tarsus, or coxo-femoral articulation, 
with consecutive caries of the articular surfaces, formation 
of fistulous sinuses, and symptoms of pyaemia. 
In certain cases the nasal mucous membrane exhibits 
vesicles (erpete flittenoide ?—herpes phlyctaenodes), which 
are also observed on the lips, face, and other parts of the 
body; these become pustules, suppurate, and cicatrise; 
though some of them may unite to form an inflamed cord 
on the track of lymphatic vessels. 
Pathological anatomy .—The lesions accompanying the benig¬ 
nant form of adenitis are chiefly confined to the Schneiderian 
mucous membrane and submaxillary glands. When dys¬ 
phagia or dyspnoea has been present, there is found catarrhal 
inflammation of the mucous membrane of the pharynx, tume¬ 
faction of the pharyngeal lymphatic glands, and phlogosis of
