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.
It must be a great mistake, that any ani-
mal really having the present influenza, can
possibly get well without proper treatment. It
may be very true that some horses having
swelled legs, and their systems a little out of
order, may be turned out on the range and
come out all right, but when they really have
the influenza, there is not one case in one hun-
dred that will ever become cured without the
proper treatment and good nursing.
We quote again, and give as authority the
unsurpassed knowledge of Professors Stone-
henge, Youatt and Spooner of England ; of Stew-
art, Jennings and Manning of America.
All the above referred to veterinary sur-
geons claims that no horse can live to exceed
40 to 60 hours with a pulse running from 70 to
100 per minute. Thus we can see that the
present influenza is a very dangerous and fatal
disease ; it is not contagious, but is epidemic in
its character, and fever is taken through atmos-
pheric inhalation. We have treated 16 cases of
the present influenza, and have found all of
them with a pulse ranging from 60 to 100 beats
per minute.
