The pleura, but more particularly the serous membranes covering the inside and outside of the heart, become afi'ected, and it is usually from heart disease that a rheumatic animal is disabled or killed. In chronic rheumatism one of the joints becomes chiefly affected, and is the seat of structural changes. This is seen in young animals not unfrequently, but also in milk cows. Sometimes a tendency to scrophula encourages a deposit of lymph, which has a tendency to invade the bone and remain un- organized, sometimes softening so that abscesses form. The knee joint is most frequently affected with this form of disease, and may assume enormous dimensions, as seen from the annexed woodcut, which represents only the skeleton of the joint, the soft tissues having been removed by maceration. Treatment in the acute form consists in the use of pmgatives and salines—nitre, liquor ammo- nite acetatis, sulphate of soda in small and oft repeated doses, besides vegetable diuretics, such as colchicum and disjitahs, constitute the internal remedies.
