Chambers is specific, acute, disease
most frequently found in the horse:bu
which may be transmitted to man,
sheep, goats, dogs, cats and some ro-
dents, 1t develops in the Emphatic
glands aud vessels, and the connective
tissue of the skin adjacent to them: OF
the mucous membrane of the nasal
passages and respiratory tract, and OF
the lungs and spleen. The Emphatic
system consists of vessels similar tothe
veins and arteries which empty Il wa
terry lymph into the veins near to the
the heart. See description of this sys-
tenn in Common Sense Health Talks,
Rig to sl21, June IS. 1890, and in re-
print sheets. Bulletin IS, of the South
Dakota Experiment Station in treat
ing of this disease describes the three
classes:
Nasal, Pulmonary and Farcy CLAN.
ders.
In the first variety the most promi-
nent symptom is the nasal discharge
which is at first thin and watery, grad
ually becoming, thicker, sticky and
pasty; it may be either greenish color
yellow, grayish, nearly black, or streak
ed with blood;it may be almost inodor-
Gus or give forth strong stencil. But
these conditions are common to varl-
GUS other diseases. Another symptom
is the enlargement of the glands on the
inner side of the jawbones near the
throat. The enlargement Is generally
upon the same side as that from which
the nasal discharge appears. The
swollen glands are soft and loose at
first, but finally become firmly fixed Oh
the inner side of the jaw bone. Ulcers
and nodules also appear upon the mu-
cous membrane of the partition between
the nasal passages. The nodules break
and discharge brownish-yelIow, oily
liquid, and upon the edges Of the ulcers
formed other nodules and ulcers ap-
pear, or the ulcers may heal leaving
white scars. but they
Are Liable to again Break out
under favoring conditions, such as bad
water, poor food, improper care, etc.
A dry: soft, heavy cough, slight per-
iodical bleeding from the nose, sudden
swelling of limb or limbs and about
the nasal openinfs, together with a
rough coat are other indications. In
Pulmonary Chambers the lungs are
chiefly attacked, and tubercles OF nod
'ules form upon the connective tissue of
the lungs. The indications are soft
dry cough, difficult breathing and un-
thrifty condition, though sometimes
the animal may show no signs but the
cough and yet communicate the dis
ease.-1n Farcy Chambers, the lympha-
tic glands and vessels of and immedi-
