Such deformities may be either per- fectly symmetrical, as in lymphadenia, or (as is more commonly the case) asymmetrical, as in tuberculosis; and if inspection leaves any doubt, the glands may be further examined by palpation. To obtain the fullest information both hands should be used, one arm being passed over the neck and the fingers engaged behind the trachea. The operator may also stand in front of the animal, whose head should be lifted so that the points of the fingers can be thrust deeply inwards on either side of the trachea in the direction of the vertebral Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Moussu, Gustave, 1864-; Dollar, John A.
