we find inflammation of the circulation
or the arterial and venous circulation, also in-
flammation of the parotid and sublingual and
submaxillary glands, causing congestion of the
brain, and death ensues. In this case we have
a pulse ranging from 70 to 100 beats per minute.
The present disease which is now spread-
ing rapidly over this country is an influenza,
with a high fever from the start, the pulse
ranging from 70 to 100.
Under this high pulse or fever, no horse
can live but a very short length of time. The
last referred to disease is just the reverse of
Farcy.
We find in dissection, where the animal
only lived 60 hours after taken sick, that the
right lobe of the lungs was entirely destroyed
by inflammation; that the right lobe of the liver
was also entirely destroyed, also the right kid-
ney by congestion ; in the arteries and veins we
found large clots of coagulated serum, enough
to cause obstruction in the arterial and venous
circulation, which causes the swelling. The
fever comes on very rapidly, lasting from 3 to
4 days, when it either ends in death, or changes
for the better.
