Pleurodynia is a term applied to rheumatism of the intercostal muscles, the apparent symptoms being very similar to those of pleurisy.

The bowels are constipated; the urine, when passed, is small in quantity and d Page 15 1 match t, so that they render the liquid cloudy or are deposited in solid crystals. The liquid is rendered transparent by nitric acid. The cow's urine, on a diet of hay and potatoes, contain Page 16 1 match urine passed may likewise lead to suspicion.

The patient should have a roomy stall, and should be tied by the head to prevent any attempts to move around. In some cases slings have been used.

The animal should be quartered in a large, clean, dry stall, with plenty of light and fresh air, but protected from strong drafts. There should be an abundance of clean Page 44 1 match d atmosphere. Again, we may find one that does all its rubbing in the stall. We may look for lice, but fail to find them.

The disease is essentially a septicemia, or blood poisoning, and the Page 55 3 matches are no local swellings, and cattle are not frequently affected.
