_Course._ In moderate cases the disease may last from two to three weeks, and in well conditioned horses, with strong constitutions, tends to recovery. On the third to the eighth day all the symptoms appear better, appetite, expression, alertness, breathing, pulsation and temperature. The temperature which has been a degree, or more, higher in the afternoon than in the morning, remains about the same from morning to night, or is even slightly lowered; it is lower still next morning and in two or three days may have reached 101°, still rising a little in the afternoon. The pulmonary exudate is usually quickly absorbed though less so than in favorable cases of influenza. Convalescence may be completed by the end of the third or fourth week. In _violent_ and _fatal cases_ the general symptoms tend to encrease in violence, though the temperature may descend to 103°, and in the final collapse to 100° or lower. In a mare presented at the college clinic after three weeks illness and treatment elsewhere, prostration was extreme, the head rested in the manger, the nose discharged a fetid, glairy, frothy liquid, with grumous, bloody debris; breath offensive; pulse 92, almost imperceptible; respirations 30, very labored; nostrils widely dilated, flapping; temperature in vagina 103.6°, anus was open with constant ingress and egress of air, and a watery glairy, frothy discharge; extensive dropsy under the sternum; percussion and auscultation indicated consolidation of lungs from the lower border up, crepitation, creaking, and loud clucking bronchial sound. The mare survived for forty-eight hours, the temperature descending to 100.5° in the morning and rising to 102° and upward in the afternoon. At the necropsy the right lung was consolidated throughout, the left had pervious areas anteriorly and posteriorly; there were large areas of infarction, necrosis, with encystment, caseation, and lobular and perilobular exudation and hepatization. Liver, enlarged, tense in its capsule, but soft and friable on its cut surface, with areas of softening and necrosis. Both kidneys congested, with pale zones of necrosis; right enlarged. Beside the substernal exudate, there was extensive hæmorrhagic exudate between the serratus magnus and ribs. The blood, very dark, brightened on exposure to air. _Diagnosis_: This may be based mainly on the prevalence of the disease in the district, or the fact that the victim has come from a long railway journey with risks of exposure, or has stood by a horse just arrived; on the prompt loss of appetite and sudden and extreme rise of temperature, without notable lung lesions; on the deep brownish yellow discoloration of the visible mucosæ, especially that of the eye, and on the yellow discharge from the nose, the tardiness with which successive cases follow each other comparatively to influenza, and the absence in large measure of the early extreme prostration of that affection.
