If a dairy of cows be removed from a moist situation to a dry and colder one, consumption will often appear among them, although a dry air is otherwise esteemed a specific against the complaint ; but if they be taken from a dry situation, and put on a woody and damp one, phthisis is sure to appear before the first season is past. There is one striking fact, showing the injurious effect of heated and empoisoned air on the pulmonary system. There are some cowhouses in which the heat is intense, and the inmates are often in a state of profuse perspiration. The doors and the windows must sometimes be opened, and then the wind blows in cold enough upon those that are close to them, and, one would naturally think, could not fail of being injurious. No such thing. These are the animals who escape ; but the others, at the farther end, on whom no wind blows, and where no perspiration is checked, are the first to have hoose, inflammation, and consumption. This fact speaks volumes with regard to the management on many a farm. In dismissing the diseases of the respiratory system, the author is far more disposed to direct attention to the preventive than the medi- cal treatment. By the former one may. do much. Let the over- filled cow-houses be enlarged, and the close and hot ones be better ventilated ; let neglect, and exposure, and starvation yield to more judicious and humane treatment ; when cattle are fed on dry food, let them have sufficient to drink two or three times every day ; let those that exhibit decided symptoms of consumption be removed from the dairy, not because the disease is contagious, but because it is undeniably hereditary ; and, where so little can be done in the way of cure, let nothing be omitted in the way of prevention. Iodine possesses power to arrest the growth of tubercles in the lungs, and even to dUperse them when recently formed. It may not be a specific for phthisis or consumption in cattle, but it has saved some that would otherwise have perished, and, for a while, prolonged the existence and somewhat restored the condition of more. Let the proprietor of cattle, and more especially practitioners, study closely the symptoms of phthisis, as detailed, and make themselves masters of the inward, feeble, painful, hoarse, gurgling cough of consumption, and as soon as they are assured that this termination or consequence of catarrh, or pneumonia, or pleurisy, begins to have existence—that tubercles have been formed, and, perhaps, have begun to suppurate—let them have recourse to the iodine, in the form of the hydriodate of potash, given in a small mash, in doses of three grains, morning and evening, at the commencement of the treatment, and gradually increased to six or eight grains. To this should be added proper attention to comfort ; yet not too much nursing ; and free access to succulent, but not stimulating, food ; and the medicine should be continued not only until the general condition of the beast
PHTHISIS, OR CONSUMPTION. 277 begins to improve, but until the character of the cough has been essentially changed. Homoeopathic Treatment.—Nitrum, given at the commencement of the disease, which, no doubt, is then difficult of recognition, produces good effects, being employed alternately -with sulphur. If the phthisis has already become more developed, much good may be obtained from stannum and phosphorus. Mercwrius vivus has also been proposed alternately with hepar sulphuris. Colchicum is useful for the relief of the state of meteorization or formation of gas in the stomach, which often accompanies phthisis.
