GOURME; OR, HORSE VARIOLA. 
Natural and Irregular Forms of this Disease—Inoculation as 
a Prophylactic Means of Its Complications. 
BY M. L. TRASBOT.* 
(Continued from page 474.) 
VII. 
Amongst all possible complications of gourme, undoubtedly the 
most common are the inflammations localized in the respiratory 
apparatus. They are so frequent, that they have often been seen 
alone amongst the pathological phenomena connected with the 
development of the disease, and that they have been considered 
as constituting it entirely in the majority of cases. There is no 
classical work or periodical publication, where it has been con¬ 
sidered differently. Always leaving aside or failing to observe 
the fundamental fact, the accessory has been noticed, and thus, un¬ 
der the name of gourme, almost all anginse, bronchitis, and pneu¬ 
monia of young animals have been described.
