Should any of the diseases above mentioned, or other, have become
developed, the treatment must be varied to meet that condition; the
particulars of which are to be sought under the respective sections in
this Manual. But it will most frequently be found that having met and

office it is to secrete a thin mucous which lubricates the parts. Under

and red and I dry nose; tears flow freely, and little or no food is
eaten—all symptoms indicating a catarrhal fever. As the animal improves,
the discharge from the nose becomes white or yellowish, and more
profuse.
