INFLAMMATION OF THE THROAT AND ITS APPENDAGES.[12]

In many cases, if attended to immediately, nothing more will be

necessary than confining the animal to a light diet, with frequent

drinks of linseed tea, warmth and moisture applied locally in the form

of a slippery elm poultice, which may be kept in close contact with the

throat by securing it to the horns. But, in very severe attacks, mullein

leaves steeped in vinegar and applied to the parts, with an occasional

stimulating injection, (see APPENDIX,) together with a gruel

diet, are the only means of relief.
