VERMINOUS BRONCHITIS—TREATMENT BY TRACHEAL INJEC¬ 
TIONS. 
By M. Eloiee. 
Prof. Levi has published an excellent work on the adminis¬ 
tration of drugs through the respiratory apparatus, by the means 
of tracheal injections. 
The author has taken advantage of this mode of treatment 
in verminous bronchitis of calves. In administering it, Mr. El- 
oire, having the head well extended upon the neck, makes a small 
incision through the skin, to facilitate the introduction of the 
needle of the syringe, into the trachea, using for his injection an 
instrument which will contain two doses, of about 10 grammes 
each. 
The liquid is slowly forced into the trachea, in order to allow 
it to pass gradually into the bronchial divisions. 
Each calf receives every day, for three days, one dose of the 
following mixture: 
Ordinary sweet oil, 100 parts; spirits of turpentine, 100 
parts; phenic acid and oil of Cade, of each 2 parts. 
He has treated 16 calves in this way, and with perfect success 
in all .—Recueil de Medecme Veterinaire.

last resort.
