There only remains to notice the number of deaths occurring in the same regiment from pulmonary and other diseases. Deaths from pulmonary disease 77 Deaths from other diseases (Glanders and Farcy and accidents 57 excepted) It is thus seen that though individually less dangerous than many affections of the abdomen, brain, etc., yet by reason of their greater frequency chest diseases induce the greatest mortality among this class of stock. In treating of the diseases of this class of organs they will be sub-divided according as they affect the _nose_, the _throat_, the _neck_, and the _chest_. DISEASES OF THE NOSE. EPISTAXIS. BLEEDING FROM THE NOSE. Epistaxis as a primary and secondary affection. Causes—mechanical, over-exertion, blood pressure, new formations, diseased mucosa, disease of the nasal venous plexus, disease of heart or lungs, in blood diseases, in hæmorrhagic constitution, in bacteridian diseases of the respiratory organs. Symptoms. Often one nostril, blood bright, red, clotted, sneezing, (not retching, acid, nor cough). _Treatment._ Mechanical, astringent, cold, plugging in solipedes and other animals: hæmostatics. As a primary affection this occurs more frequently in the horse than in any other domestic animal, though as a symptomatic disease it is common in all farm animals.
