Veterinary medicine; Horses; Horse-training; Médecine vétérinaire; Chevaux; Chevaux. jlln^ » [' •. ii til 179 DISEASES OF CATTLE. is almost a certainty, I tlvlnk, that the single name pleurisy would cover the whole ground ; for the pathology of the disease unmistakably points to this one fact, that the lungs are not affected as a disease from the beginning, but the solid, spotted and mottled condition of the lungs are but the effects of disease of the pleural covering, and the consequent effusions of serum into the chest, floating and surrounding the lungs, together with weakness, low vitality, and debility of the animal affected. This, then, is the reason why the lungs have become diseased, and the consequent double name given the affection. However much men may doubt it, this disease is nothing more than buccal inflammation, extending from the coverings of the mouth and nose down to the pleural membranes within the chest, speedily followed by extensive outpo^ing of fluid called serum, and it is not till this fluid has accumulated in sufficient quantity that the evidence of disease shows itself to the farmer or breeder. Cows are not so nervous, nor yet so ex- citable as horses, whether in health or sickness, and hence the absence of those symptoms in the early stage of the disease in cows, which are so early shown in horses, when affected by the same sickness. Farmers should remember this, for in early detection lies often the life of the animal. Again, and in support of my theory, if the lungs were one of the prim- ary seats of the disease, it would not be reasonable to expect to live for a week, and in some cases a month, as in the case with animals affected with this disease. In no disease of the lungs, excepting tuber- cles, will animals live so long as those do w'len affected with pleuro- pneumonia, thus entirely disproving the theory universally entertaine
