The diseased are then treated one by one; each day the buccal cavity is washed out with boiled water or with a solution of borax or boric acid. After each washing the ulcerations should be touched with tincture of iodine or with some other rather active antiseptic solution. Finally it might be useful, and would be of value, to add to the gruel or water a small quantity of common salt and of salicylate of soda at the rate of 15 grains to the pint. GENERAL CATARRHAL STOMATITIS IN SWINE. =Causes.= “Swine suffer from simple stomatitis when exposed to thermal, mechanical, or chemical irritants. Such irritants comprise food that is too hot, or is hard and fibrous, or which contains spikes and awns, capable of entering and irritating gland ducts or sores, or food which is fermented or putrid, food or medicine of an irritant character. The habit of catching and holding swine with a running noose over the upper jaw, and the forcing of the jaws apart with a piece of wood in search of the _Cysticercus cellulosa_ are further causes. In several specific infectious diseases inflammation of the mucous membrane, with eruption or erosion, is not uncommon. This aphthous fever is marked by vesicular eruption, muguet by epithelial proliferation and desquamation, hog cholera and swine plague by circumscribed spots of necrosis and erosion. Patches of false membrane are not unknown, and local anthrax, tubercle, and actinomycosis are to be met with. Inflammation may start from decaying teeth.” “=Symptoms= resemble those in other animals, refusal of food, or a disposition to eat sparingly, to select soft or liquid aliments, to swallow hard materials half chewed, or to drop them, to champ the jaws, and to seek cold water. Accumulation of froth around the lips is often seen, and the mouth is red, angry, dry, and hot, and exhales a bad odour.” “=Treatment= does not differ materially from that adopted in other animals: Cooling, astringent, antiseptic lotions, honey and vinegar, and in case of spongy or eroded mucosa, tincture of myrrh daily or oftener. Soft feeding, gruels, pulped roots, ... and clean water should be constantly within reach. In case of ... indigestion a laxative, followed by vegetable tonics, will be in order.” (Law’s “Veterinary Medicine,” Vol. II. p. 17.) ULCERATIVE STOMATITIS IN SWINE. “This is the scorbutus of Friedberger and Fröhner, the glossanthrax of Benion.”
