In the _thoracic form_ the extreme hyperthermia is complicated by early lesions in the lungs, while the muscular or cutaneous ones are omitted or deferred. So long as the lesions are confined to the chest, they are betrayed by hurried and even oppressed breathing or dyspnœa, a frequent, moist, suffocative cough, persistent standing to favor respiration, and there are the percussion and auscultation indications of consolidated lungs or hydrothorax. The mucosæ are usually of a darker red, than in the external form, cyanotic indeed, and the peculiar asphyxial position, with legs apart, head extended, dilated nostrils and open mouth may be very significant. These symptoms are likely to be modified or supplemented before death, by those caused by intestinal or renal disorder. In the thoracic form in young animals death by suffocation may occur in a few hours, but more commonly the disease progresses slowly and a fatal result is not reached until the fourth day or even the eighth. This form is common in the deer, and less so in cattle. In the _intestinal_ or _abdominal form_ the usual sudden onset and high fever, are complicated by inappetence, tympany, rumbling of the bowels, uneasy movements of the hind feet, perhaps twisting of the tail, looking at the flanks, and even lying down and rising. There is frequent, violent straining with the passage of fæces at first glazed, later streaked with blood, or mixed with pseudo-membranous casts, and very soon soft, watery, frothy and fœtid. These are usually black or reddish black from contained blood. The urine may also be blood-stained. Before death, complications on the lungs or skin will often come in to assist in diagnosis. In the _chronic_ and _subacute types_ the lesions are often concentrated on the lungs, and there are a moderate fever cough, hurried breathing under exertion, dulness on percussion over limited pulmonary areas, blowing sounds, mucous râles, crepitations and more or less muco-purulent expectoration. These phenomena are all the more significant if complicated by digestive disorders, costiveness, fœtid mucous diarrhœa, tympany, or by the eruption of the superficial swellings. _Lesions._ The swellings on or _under the skin_ or among the _muscles_ show extensive straw-colored exudations, colored at points with blood, with enlargement, infiltration and staining of the adjacent lymph glands. On the chest walls the sero-sanguineous exudate may extend from the root of the lungs, through the intercostal spaces to the skin in the breast, the axilla and behind. The tongue is often enormously swollen and black, charged with extensive blood extravasations in addition to the yellowish exudate. Along its sides and on its lower surface, the mucosa stands out in projecting masses of yellowish infiltration, which may show equally on the fauces, pharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchi.
