The disease is always characterized by great pain, and sometimes swelling in the re- gion of joint. It is accompanied by a quick and wiry pulse, and by other symp- toms, denominated febrile. It occurs among men and horses at all seasons of the year, yet at the period of sud- den transitions from heat to cold it is most prevalent. Animals when heated by exercise, and then suffered to "cool off," without ordinary care, are very apt to become the subjects of this malady, so that prevention, to a certain extent, is within our power, and, in the exercise of preventive measures, we may, in com- mon parlance, "stave off," for a time, this disease, although it may be latent in the system as an hereditary affection. ™dlegND0NS Mr. F. Dun, who is good authority on the subject, says: "Rheumatism is neither so common, nor are its symptoms so well marked, in horses as in cattle. When, however, it does occur in the horse, it manifests the same well-known appearances which characterize it in all animals. It affects the fibrous tissues of joints, the coverings of muscles, tendons, valves about the heart, and larger vessels, and manifests a peculiar tendency to shift from one part of the body to another, often affecting, in succession, all the larger joints—at one time chiefly in the neck, at another, in the back and loins, while, in many of its more acute attacks, it appears to involve almost every portion of fibrous and fibro-serous tissues throughout the body. In all its varied types it exhibits a full, strong, hard, and unyielding pulse, caused by the inflamma- tion involving the serous and fibro-serous tissues of the heart and circulating vessels.
