When the worms are found in the bronebi the disease is sometimes known as verminous bronellitis or Noose. The chief symptoms of the disease are fits of coughing and sneezing. accompanied by diseharges from the nostrils. Infected animals move about with the neck outstretched, rub the nose on the ground. and breathe with difficulty. A pronounced diarrInva may also appear and hasten the usual emaciation.

worms infest sheep, cattle, and hogs. and the dis ease is most prevalent in years with a wet sum mer preceded by a moderate winter. Water is the usual souree of infestation. Affected ani mats should be separated from healthy ones, and all animals should be placed on dry pastures with pure water-supply. Infected calves or sheep may be confined in a close shed, and made to inhale chlorine gas or sulphur fumes. Good results have also been obtained in the treatment of calves by injecting between the rings of the trachea a mixture of equal parts of turpentine and sweet nil, to which a few drops of carbolic acid have been added.
