This accomplished, the injection of antiseptic solutions (permanganate of potash, boric acid), and the liberal use of pure water and detergent lotions in the mouth (vinegar, borax, carbolic acid or salicylic acid in solution) will go far to establish a cure. In case of an abscess bursting internally the antiseptic solutions should be injected into its cavity. When the abscess bursts externally this is doubly demanded, as the introduction of aerial germs tends to produce very unhealthy action. The cavity may be stuffed with carbolized, or iodoform, or acetanilid cotton, or with boric or salicylic acid. SURGICAL LESIONS OF THE SALIVARY GLANDS. Among these may be named calculi of the Stenonian and Whartonian ducts, ranula, stenosis and fistulæ of these ducts, tumors, special infections like actinomycosis. TONSILITIS IN PIGS, AND OTHER ANIMALS. Causes; debilitating, climatic, microbian. Symptoms; fever, dullness; lies under litter; ears and tail droop; watery eyes; anorexia; vomiting; pharyngeal swelling; buccal redness and fœtor; tonsils swollen with pus or caseous mass in follicles; cough dry and hard, later loose. Abscess. Calculus. Course. Treatment; antiseptic electuaries; embrocations; laxatives; diuretics; tonics. This is seen in both the acute and chronic form. In the former it has the general causes and symptoms of pharyngitis. There is more or less fever, dullness, a disposition to lie with head extended and buried in the litter, ears drooping, eyes watering and red, carelessness of food, deglutition painful, and liable to be followed by vomiting. The mouth is red and hot, the breath fœtid and the tonsils swollen, and their alveoli filled with muco purulent matter or at times with a fœtid cheese-like product. The cough is at first dry and hard and later loose and gurgling. In the chronic form there is general swelling of the tonsils with the overdistension of the follicles by the above mentioned whitish putty-like masses, which are often even calcareous. These are due to the proliferation of microbes which find in these alveoli a most favorable field for their propagation. A similar condition is found in the carnivora and to a less extent in the horse, in keeping with the restricted development of the amygdalæ in these animals. It may be attended by ulceration, or in rare cases by the formation of veritable calculi in the follicles of the tonsils. The gravity of the disease is largely determined by the nature of the infecting microbe and the debility and susceptibility of the animal attacked. The affection usually ends in recovery, but may go on to grave local ulceration, and general infection.
