Symptoms. These are very indefinite, depending very much on the
complications. Some loss or perversion of appetite, a licking of the
soil or walls, eating litter, filth and even manure, a clammy mouth, a
redness along the margin of the tongue, eructations or attempts to
eructate, or actual vomiting, colicy pains which are usually dull until
the bowels are implicated, more or less rumbling in the bowels,
sometimes icterus, in other cases tympany, and nearly always tardy
passage of hard and scanty mucus-covered fæces. The colics may be
intermittent, appearing only just after food is taken, or they may be
continuous, the animal pawing incessantly hour after hour. A slight
hyperthermia and a distinct tenderness of the epigastrium and left
hypochondrium to pressure are valuable symptoms. Percussion
causes even keener suffering.
If the gastric contents are abundant and fermentation active, death
may ensue from gastric tympany. In other cases, the persistence of
colics at the time of feeding, of impaired appetite, constipation and
loss of condition are the main symptoms. In the last named cases the
patient may die of marasmus.
Lesions. In cases terminating in fermentation and fatal tympany
the stomach is full; in other types it is empty of all but water, mucus,
and perhaps some irritant contents, or decomposed food. The
alveolar mucosa of the right sac and above all of the pylorus is red,
congested, petechiated, macculated, thickened to double its normal
thickness or more, thrown into rugæ, and covered with tenacious
mucus. This mucus is highly charged with detached epithelial cells,
and at different points the mucosa is abraded by their desquamation.
The epithelium generally shows swollen, opaque cells. The red
congested spots show active engorgement of the capillaries, and this
is especially marked around the glandular follicles, with more or less
formation of embryonic cells. The duodenum is often implicated with
similar lesions of the mucosa and its epithelial layers, which may
block the orifices of the pancreatic and especially of the biliary duct.
In this case there is a yellowish discoloration of the liver, excess of
pigment in the hepatic cells, and hemorrhagic spots in the liver and
even in the kidneys. The urine may be yellow or reddish brown from
the presence of bile or blood pigment. In ruptured stomach,
spiroptera, bots, and other irritants, we find their characteristic
lesions, and in petechial fever there is excessive and partly
hemorrhagic infiltration of the mucosa and submucosa. In
protracted cases ulcers may be present on both stomach and
intestine. When it is a localization of some specific fever the
characteristic lesions of that affection will be found.
Treatment. If appetite continues, diet should be restricted to a
very moderate allowance of green food, pulped roots, bran mash,
boiled flaxseed, boiled middlings, with pure water or whey. If there
are irritants in the stomach they may be got rid of by a laxative (aloes
4 drachms, or sulphate of soda ½ pound). Sodium bicarbonate (½
drachm 2 or 3 times daily) is desirable to stimulate peptic secretion
and check acid fermentations. Pepsin (2 drachms) should be given at
equal intervals. Fermentations should be checked by the use of salol
(1 to 2 drachms), naphthalin (1 to 2 drachms), benzo-naphthol (1 to 3
drachms), or calcium salicylate (2 drachms).
In this connection bitters are of value to improve the tone of the
gastric mucosa, nux vomica, gentian, quinia and quassia in
combination with ipecacuan giving good results.
PHLEGMONOUS (PURULENT) GASTRITIS
IN THE HORSE.
Definition: deep inflammation tending to abscess. Causes: invasion by pus
microbes, infectious diseases, parasitism, traumas. Symptoms: hyperthermia,
colic, tenderness, icterus, coincident disease, hæmatemesis. Lesions: submucous or
subperitoneal abscess, parasites, peritonitis, exudation, thickening, neoplasm of
mucosa, catarrhal complications. Treatment: careful diet, antiseptics, bitters,
laxatives.
Definition. This is a gastric inflammation affecting the
membranous layers, and tending to submucous or subperitoneal
abscess. It is much less frequent than the catarrhal form.
Causes. It may be attributed to invasion of the gastric walls by pus
microbes, and appears as secondary abscess in pyæmia and above all
in strangles. The microbes are introduced more directly through the
wounds inflicted by the larvæ of œstrus, or by the burrowing of these
(Argus, Schlieppe, Schortmann), or of spiroptera (Argus). Wounds
by sharp pointed bodies taken in with the food, furnish other
infection—atria, and in their turn ulcers connected with catarrhal or
toxic inflammation may furnish a means of entrance.
Symptoms. These resemble those of catarrhal inflammation, but
are usually attended by greater hyperthermia, and the colicy
symptoms are more marked. There is also greater tenderness in the
epigastrium and left hypochondrium, and icterus is more marked.
When it occurs as an extension of strangles or pyæmia the symptoms
of these affections elsewhere are pathognomonic. When the abscess
bursts into the stomach there may be vomiting of bloody mucus
(hæmatemesis) which is not necessarily followed by a fatal result.
Lesions. As these are seen only in fatal cases, the presence of an
abscess is the characteristic feature. This is usually submucous, or
less frequently subperitoneal, and may vary in size from a hazelnut
upward. The tendency appears to be to open into the stomach,
though it may burst into the peritoneum and cause general infection
of that membrane. In case of parasites, the spiroptera or œstrus larva
may be found in the abcess cavity having a narrow opening into the
stomach. In certain cases the abscess on the pyloric sac has been
found opening into the duodenum. Congestion, thickening,
puckering into rugæ and laceration of the adjacent mucosæ may be a
marked feature, a circumscribed catarrhal gastritis complicating the
local phlegmon.
Treatment. This is less hopeful than in catarrhal gastritis, but
should be conducted along the same lines. The same careful diet,
with daily antiseptics and bitters may prove valuable in limiting the
inevitable suppuration, and, if the pus should escape into the
stomach, in healing the lesion. Sulphites of soda, sulphide of
calcium, chamomile, and quinia, are to be commended and pepsin
may be added to secure at once proteid digestion and antisepsis.
Laxatives may be required to counteract constipation or expel
irritants, and these may be combined with the antiseptics already
named or with salol, eucalyptol, sodium salicylate or other non-
poisonous agent of this class.
TOXIC GASTRITIS IN SOLIPEDS.

Causes: caustics or irritants acting on mucosa, accidently, or maliciously.


Symptoms: colics, pinched face, small rapid pulse, hurried breathing,
hyperthermia, sometimes salivation, color of buccal mucosa, odor, congestion of
tongue, thirst, urination, icterus, albuminuria, analysis of urine or vomited matter.
Lesions: congestion, corrosion, necrosis or ulceration of gastric mucosa,
discoloration. Treatment: antidote, stomach pump, demulcents, coagulants.

Causes. Toxic gastritis in solipeds is peculiar in this that it must be


due to one or other of the more caustic or irritant agents, which act
chemically on the tissues, while those agents that require to be
absorbed to establish a physiological irritation are comparatively
harmless. This depends on the fact that few or none of the poisonous
agents are absorbed by the gastric mucosa of the soliped, and if
ingested they must pass on into the duodenum before they can be
absorbed into the tissues and blood-vessels. Hence the horse is
injured mainly by actual caustics like mercuric chloride, zinc
chloride, ferric or cupric sulphate, the caustic alkalies or earths, or
alkaline carbonates, and the mineral acids. These may be taken
accidently or administered maliciously, or as medicines.
Symptoms. Morbid symptoms vary according to the agent
swallowed. There are colics, anxious countenance, small accelerated
pulse, rapid breathing, hyperthermia, and salivation, especially
marked with mercuric chloride. The buccal mucosa may give
valuable indications, becoming white with muriatic acid, or zinc, or
antimony, or mercuric chloride, yellow with nitric acid, and white
changing to black with sulphuric acid or silver nitrate. Ferric or
cupric sulphate may give their respective colors to the saliva, and the
former will darken the fæces.
The mouth is usually dry, hot, and clammy, and the edges of the
tongue red. Temperature is usually elevated, yet with tartar emetic it
may be distinctly reduced. Thirst is usually marked, and urination
frequent. Icterus and albuminuria attend on phosphorus poisoning.
When vomiting takes place the appearance or analysis of the matters
rejected, or otherwise of the urine, will often indicate the nature of
the poison.
Lesions. The gastric mucosa is congested and discolored, but the
corrosion and even the ulceration are especially characteristic.
Patches of necrotic mucous membrane may be more or less detached
exposing a deep red submucosa. The coloration otherwise varies;—
white or black with sulphuric acid or silver nitrate; white with
muriatic acid, the caustic alkalies, or zinc chloride; yellow with nitric
acid; or green with salts of copper.
Similar lesions are found on the buccal, œsophagean and intestinal
mucosæ, and even at times on the respiratory.
Treatment. In the treatment of this form of gastritis the first
consideration is to expel, or use an antidote to, the poison. In the
soliped, emetics are useless. The stomach pump or tube may,
however, be applied with good effect in nearly all cases, alternately
throwing in water and drawing it off. Demulcents and coagulants are
also universally applicable. Milk, eggs beaten up in milk, blood
albumen, flaxseed tea, well boiled gruels, or slippery elm bark, may
be used as may be most convenient. Next come the other chemical
antidotes the use of which however demands a previous knowledge
of the poison present. For the mineral acids one can make use of
calcined magnesia, lime water, chalk, or carbonate of soda in weak
solution. For alkalies the appropriate antidote is vinegar. For carbolic
acid, vinegar, alcohol, or failing these a weak solution of soda or oil.
For tartar emetic, gallic or tannic acid. For bichromate of potash or
chromic acid, calcined magnesia, magnesia carbonate, or lime
carbonate. For phosphorus, old oil of turpentine and demulcents—no
oil. For ammonia, vinegar followed by almond, olive or sweet oil. In
case of œdema glottidis, tracheotomy. For copper salts yellow
prussiate of potash, which precipitates the copper in an insoluble
form, and demulcents. For mercuric chloride, demulcent drinks can
be resorted to, there is no other reliable antidote. In all cases after
the evacuation of the stomach and the use of the antidote,
mucilaginous agents must be given freely with morphia or other
anodynes.
CATARRHAL INFLAMMATION OF THE
FOURTH STOMACH.

Usually a complication. Causes, predisposing, exciting, changes of food or water,


spoiled, frosted or fermented food, green potatoes, caterpillars, nitrogenous food,
irritants. Symptoms: Separation from herd, grinding teeth, eructation, depraved
appetite, fever, tender epigastrium, coated dung, red eyes, fixed or retracted,
dilated, blind eyes, drooping ears, nervous symptoms, reckless unconscious
movements, bellowing, tender skin, tremors. Lesions: Congestion and exudate in
gastric mucosa, hemorrhagic discoloration, desquamation, excess of mucus,
resemblance to rinderpest, Texas fever and malignant catarrh. Treatment: Empty
stomach by bland laxatives, stimulants of peristalsis, calmatives, cold to head,
counter-irritants, enemata, bitters.

This affection is by no means rare in cattle, though it is usually


complicated with inflammation of the first three stomachs or of the
intestines. Nevertheless, when the disease appears to be
concentrated on the fourth stomach mainly, it may well take its name
accordingly.
Causes. A predisposition to the affection occurs in the weak and
debilitated, the overworked oxen, underfed cattle, in those that are
just recovering from a severe illness and in which the gastric
secretions and functions are still poor. The usual exciting cause is
some fault in the food, it may be a sudden change from one kind to
another, and especially from dry to green, or from one kind of green
food to another and more tempting one, as when the animal breaks
into a field of grain which is advancing to maturity. Even a sudden
change of water, as from soft to hard has seemed in our experience to
contribute to its development. Next come spoiled aliments, frosted or
frozen turnips, beets, carrots, potatoes, apples, turnip tops,
fermented grasses, musty hay, sun-exposed potatoes, putrid
vegetables, and caterpillars on cabbages, tree leaves and other
vegetables. Next come products that are highly nitrogenous, like
vetches, alfalfa, sainfoin, clover, and the cakes of linseed, rape and
cotton seed. Irritant plants such as colchicum, digitalis, yew, radish,
etc., have been charged as causative agents.
Symptoms. These are often difficult to distinguish from those of
indigestion or acute lead poisoning, and they vary in different cases
according to the severity of the attack. In the milder cases there may
be loss of appetite and rumination, some tympany, arching of the
back, uneasy movements of the hind limbs and tail, a disposition to
leave the herd, grinding of the teeth, and frequent gaseous
eructations. Some show a depraved appetite, picking up and chewing
various non-alimentary substances. Somewhat more characteristic
are the dry, hot muzzle, the hyperthermia of the body, the tenderness
to pressure of the epigastrium, and the baked appearance and
glistening surface of the fæces. In the more severe forms the
suffering is increased and the nervous system participates in the
disorder. The eyes are congested, fixed or rolled back, the pupils
dilated, the vision appears to be abolished, the ears are pendant, if
tied the subject attempts to get loose, if at liberty he moves steadily
in some one direction regardless of obstacles or dangers, he bellows,
pushes against walls or other obstructions and may seriously injure
himself or others. There is, however, no mischievous purpose, he is
simply impelled to blind motion, and no regard is had to anything
which may be in his way. In some instances the nervous disorder is
manifested by a sensitiveness of the skin, so that the animal shrinks
when handled or pinched along the chine or back. Tremors is
another marked symptom.
Lesions. These consist mainly in congestion and swelling of the
gastric mucosa, which is further covered by a thick layer of mucus.
The folds are especially thickened and discolored, and the seat of
hemorrhagic extravasations (petechiæ) and exudations in spots and
patches. Desquamation of the epithelium may be met with at points
and even distinct ulcers. Exudation in the submucous tissue, and
petechiæ in the peritoneum are common. The condition may bear a
close resemblance to what is seen in rinderpest or malignant catarrh.
Treatment. The first desideratum is the elimination of the irritant
ingesta from the stomach. But for this purpose emetics are useless
and we must fall back on laxatives. Again we are met by the
consideration that the inflamed stomach will neither readily absorb
nor respond to a stimulus. Yet as a rule the viscus is not equally
inflamed throughout, and even the affected parts do not necessarily
have the whole muscular coat involved and paralyzed. We can
therefore hope for a measure of response which once started will
deplete and improve the adjacent and more violently affected parts.
But irritant and drastic purgatives like croton, podophyllin or
gamboge are proscribed as very liable to aggravate the inflammation.
Pilocarpin 3 grs. hypodermically may be given or in default of this, 1
lb. each of Glauber and common salt in not less than six quarts of
water, free access being allowed to pure water until it shall have
operated. Bismuth may also be given as a calmative. Active rubbing
of the abdomen will assist in rousing the stomachs to action, and
hasten the action of the purgative. If there should be any sign of
cerebral disorder, cold water or ice may be applied to the head, and
oil of turpentine, followed by a pulp of the best ground mustard may
be applied to the epigastrium and right hypochondrium. This may be
accompanied and followed by copious enemata, and doses of quinia,
gentian or still better nux vomica three times a day.
CATARRHAL GASTRITIS IN SWINE.
Definition. Causes, irritants, fermented, putrid swill, spoiled vegetables, irritant
molluscs or larvæ, hot or cold food, alkalies, indigestible food, specific germs and
toxins, parasites. Symptoms: inappetence, restlessness, vomiting, colic,
constipation, diarrhœa, fever, stiffness, tender abdomen, arched back, chill,
plaintive grunting, drooping tail. Lesions. Treatment: change diet, mucilaginous,
milk, protection from saprophytes, change pen, emetic, laxative, calomel, bismuth,
cleanliness, washing.
Definition. Inflammation of the gastric mucosa with mucopurulent
discharge.
Causes. Irritants of various kinds, fermented or putrid swill,
spoiled vegetables, irritant molluscs or larvæ, too hot or too cold
aliment, excess of brine, excess of alkalies, in swill (dishwashings),
indigestible foods of all kinds. The stomach may also be the seat of
catarrhal inflammation in hog cholera, swine plague, rouget,
diphtheritic affections and in the case of gastric parasites, so that it is
very important to distinguish the affections due to simple irritants,
from those dependent on plagues and parasitism.
Symptoms. There is inappetence, vomiting, restlessness and
constant movement, colics, vomiting, constipation or diarrhœa,
hyperthermia, stiffness, tenderness of the abdomen to handling,
arched back, a disposition to hide under the straw, plaintive grunting
when roused, drooping of the tail. The tendency is to a rapid recovery
after the evacuation of the stomach by vomiting, though it may
persist under a continuance of the irritating ingesta.
In these last cases the lesions may closely resemble those of the
contagious affections of the abdomen, but the disease may be
distinguished by its indisposition to spread beyond the herd which is
subjected to the unhealthy dietary.
Treatment. Change the diet to one of pure and easily digestible
materials, soups, mush, fresh whey or buttermilk, boiled farinas or
flax seed, and even fresh grass. If there is violent diarrhœa boiled
milk is often of great value.
Whatever food is given should be furnished in a vessel into which
the animal can’t get his feet, as these are usually charged with septic
germs which are pathogenic to the diseased stomach, though they
may have started from ordinary saprophytes.
For the same reason it is usually desirable to change the pen, as
the animal grubbing in the ground charges the snout with the same
offensive microbes.
If vomiting is not already established, 30 grains of ipecacuan may
be given, or tepid water may be used to assist the process. If
constipation is present 10 to 30 grains of calomel (according to size)
may be given. In case of diarrhœa a combination of calomel 1 part
and chalk 12 parts, may be given in 3 grain doses, two or three times
a day. Or ½ to 1 drachm nitrate of bismuth may be substituted.
Cleanliness in food and surroundings is among the most important
measures, and if the skin has been filthy, repeated washing with soap
and warm water may be resorted to with great benefit.
CHRONIC GASTRIC CATARRH IN
SOLIPEDS.
Causes: Debility, age, anæmia, leucæmia, lymph gland, kidney, heart or lung
disease, parasitism, dental or salivary disease, coarse, fibrous food, spoiled food,
putrid water, gastric neoplasms. Symptoms: Impaired appetite, eating lime or
earth, weariness, costiveness, coated dung, tympanies, diarrhœas, fatigue,
sweating, unthrifty hide, pallid mucosæ, emaciation, colics. Lesions: Thickened
right gastric mucosa, discoloration, mucus, petechiæ, opaque granular epithelium,
gastric dilatation. Treatment: Remove causes, diet, watering, exercise, sunshine,
bismuth, pepsin, acids, bitters, electricity, antiseptics, stomachics.
Causes. These are in the main the causes which operate in
producing the acute affection. In most chronic cases they act
continuously on a system rendered susceptible by debility or
otherwise. Among predisposing causes may be named: The debility
of old age, anæmia, leucæmia, chronic diseases of the lymph glands,
of the liver, kidney, heart, or lung, parasitic diseases, diseases of the
jaws, teeth, or salivary glands which interfere with proper
mastication and insalivation. Among exciting causes may be named:
A coarse, fibrous, innutritious diet, a too bulky diet, spoiled fodders
of all kinds, putrid drinking water, and stomach parasites
(spiroptera, œstrus larva). Actual disease of the stomach—papilloma,
cancer, actinomycosis, tumors, and oat-hair or other concretions are
further causes.
Symptoms. Impaired or capricious appetite, a disposition to lick
the walls or earth, or to drink impure water, yawning, constipation
with glossy mucus-covered fæces, and slight tympany, alternating
with diarrhœa, small, accelerated pulse, susceptibility to perspiration
and fatigue on slight exertion, unthrifty skin and hair, hide-bound,
dry, hot mouth, coated tongue, pallor of the mucous membranes,
loss of condition, and increasing weakness. Slight colics may occur at
intervals, and the sluggishness may deepen into stupor or vertigo.
Lesions. The right sac is usually the seat of more or less
hypertrophy of the mucosa, which is thickened, rugose, with patches
of dark red, gray and slate color, and covered with a layer of
tenacious mucus. The surface may show warty-like elevations, or
papillary projections, with here and there patches of blood
extravasation. The epithelial cells are increased, opaque and contain
many fatty granules.
Dilatation of the stomach is not uncommon especially in old
horses, and then the mucosa may be attenuated and smooth.
Hyperthermia may be present, but is so slight that inflammation
cannot be predicated from it and it is difficult to establish a diagnosis
from chronic dyspepsia.
Treatment. It is important to first correct any curable predisposing
disorder, in teeth, jaws, salivary glands, blood, or internal organs, to
carefully regulate feeding, watering and work, to secure as far as
possible an outdoor life, and to employ bitter and other tonics. All
over-exertion or fatigue must be carefully avoided. The food may be
as advised for the more acute affection. Costiveness may be best met
by boiled flaxseed, or in case of necessity by bran mashes, or green
food. The irritation of the stomach may be benefited by nitrate of
bismuth (3 to 4 drs.) and pepsin, and dilute muriatic acid with each
meal are often of value. Nux Vomica (10 to 25 grs. twice daily) will
help to restore the lost tone, and a current of electricity may be sent
through the epigastrium daily. As alternatives, sulphate of quinia or
gentian may replace the nux, and salol or salicylate of bismuth may
take the place of the nitrate. Bicarbonate of soda in ½ dr. doses,
common salt in ½ oz. doses, and fennel in ½ oz. doses are
sometimes useful in re-establishing gastric functions.
CHRONIC GASTRITIS IN RUMINANTS.
Causes: As in acute form, parasites, gravid womb, insufficient ration, overwork,
exhaustive milking, chronic diseases. Symptoms: deranged appetite, rumination,
pica, eructations, regurgitations, tympanies, colics after feeding, coated dung,
diarrhœa, fever, hot clammy mouth, sunken eyes, small weak pulse, palpitations,
emaciation, weakness, tender hypochondrium. Lesions: hypertrophy of gastric
mucosa, granular epithelium. Treatment: tonic regimen, diet, green food, roots,
sunshine, bismuth, salol, strychnia, pepsin, muriatic acid, common salt, counter-
irritants.
Causes. These are in the main the causes of the acute affection.
There may, however, be special persistent factors like parasites
(strongylus contortus and filicollis, spiroptera) in the stomach, the
pressure of a gravid womb, an alimentation deficient in lime or
phosphorus, overwork, exhausting milking, or chronic disease of
important organs (heart, liver, lung, kidney).
Symptoms. These are indefinite and not easily distinguished from
those of disorders of the third stomach. There is impaired or
capricious appetite, a disposition to eat lime, earth, and all sorts of
non-alimentary objects, rumination is rare or altogether suspended,
efforts to regurgitate are ineffectual, or result in gaseous eructations
only, there are tympanies and abdominal pains especially after
feeding, and constipation with a firm glazed appearance of any fæces
passed, may alternate for a short time with diarrhœa. The mouth is
hot and clammy, the eyes sunken and semi-closed, the pulse small
and weak, though the heart may palpitate, and there is a constantly
progressive emaciation and prostration. Among the more
characteristic symptoms are tenderness of the right hypochondrium
to manipulation and percussion, and the presence of slight
hyperthermia.
Lesions. The changes consist mainly in hypertrophy of the gastric
mucosa, with changes in the epithelium and submucosa such as are
already described in the horse. The pyloric region suffers most, and
here ulcers are not at all uncommon.
Treatment. The main aim must be to remove the causes, and to
build up the general health, so that the patient may rise above the
debilitating conditions. More is to be expected from the change of
diet to green food, roots, mashes, etc., and an outdoor life than from
the action of medicines, which are liable to disappear by absorption
in the first three stomachs, so that they can only act on the fourth
through the system at large. Yet benefit may be expected from the
use of nitrate of bismuth, and salol, as calmatives and antiferments,
nux vomica as a tonic and even from pepsin and muriatic acid as
digestive agents. The two last are not dependent on the fourth
stomach for their activity but will digest the contents more or less in
the first three, and the finely disintegrated and partly peptonized
ingesta coming to the fourth stomach in a less irritating, and less
fermentescible condition, lessens the work demanded of that organ
and gives a better opportunity for recuperation. Small doses of
common salt and one or other of the carminative seeds may be
added. The application of mustard or oil of turpentine to the right
hypochondrium will sometimes assist in giving a better tone to the
organ.
CHRONIC GASTRITIS IN SWINE.

Causes. Symptoms: inappetence, dullness, arched back, colic, irregular bowels,


fever, emaciation. Treatment: diet, green food, milk, mashes, cleanliness, bismuth,
salol, sodium bicarbonate, strychnia, pepsin, muriatic acid, sunshine, washing.

Causes. These are like those producing the acute affection which
may easily merge into this by a continuation of such causes.
The symptoms too are alike. Inappetence, dullness, prostration,
arched back, vomiting, colic, constipation, with alternating diarrhœa.
There is hyperthermia with hot dry snout, thirst, increasing
emaciation, and anæmia.
Treatment. An entire change of diet, to green food, roots, fresh
milk, and soft mashes in limited quantity. Allow pure water freely.
Adopt all precautions against contamination of the food by the feet
or snout. The stomach may be quieted by oxide of bismuth (20 grs.)
or salol (10 grs.) two or three times daily, and the tone and secretions
of the stomach may be stimulated by bicarbonate of soda (1 dr.) and
nux vomica (1 to 2 grs.) thrice daily. In addition pepsin and muriatic
acid may be given with each meal in proportion adapted to its
amount. A life in the open air, and an occasional soapy wash will do
much to restore healthy gastric functions.
CHRONIC GASTRITIS IN THE DOG.
Causes: faults in diet, musty food, foreign bodies, poisons, lack of sunshine,
retained fæces, parasites, ill health, chronic diseases, icy bath, septic drink.
Symptoms: irregular appetite and bowels, fever, foul breath, red tongue, tartar on
teeth, dullness, prostration, vomiting of mucus or bile, tender epigastrium, arched
back, fœtid stools, emaciation. Treatment: regulate diet, sunshine, pure water,
scraped muscle, soups without fat, antiseptics, calomel, pepsin, muriatic acid,
strychnia.
Causes. The irregularity and variability of the food, overfeeding,
highly spiced foods, putrid or spoiled food, musty food, the
swallowing of pieces of bone, and of indigestible bodies, the
consumption of poisons, the absence of open air exercise, the
compulsory suspension of defecation in house dogs, and the
presence in the stomach of worms (spiroptera, strongylus), are
among the common causes of the affection. As in other animals, ill
health, debility, lack of general tone, and chronic diseases of
important organs (liver, kidney, heart, lungs) must be taken into
account. The plunging into cold water when heated and the licking of
septic water must also be named.
Symptoms. Appetite is poor or irregular, the nose dry and hot, the
mouth fœtid, the tongue reddened around the borders and furred on
its dorsum, the teeth coated with tartar, the animal dull and
prostrate, vomits frequently a glairy mucus mixed with alimentary
matters or yellow with bile, and there is constipation alternating with
diarrhœa. The epigastrium is tender to the touch, the back arched,
the fæces glazed with mucus or streaked with blood, and offensive in
odor. Emaciation advances rapidly and death may occur from
marasmus.
Treatment. Adopt the same general plan of treatment. Stop all
offensive and irritating food, give regular outdoor exercise, free
access to pure water, and every facility to attend to the calls of
nature. Give plain easily digestible food in small amount. In the
worst cases pulped or scraped raw meat, in the less severe mush, or
well-prepared soups with the fat skimmed off, and bread added.
Check the irritant fermentations in the stomach by salol, bismuth,
salicylate of bismuth, or naphthol. In case of constipation give 8 to 10
grs. calomel. Then assist digestion by pepsin (5 grs.) and
hydrochloric acid (10 drops) in water with each meal. If the
bitterness is not an objection 1 gr. nux vomica may also be added.
ULCERATION OF THE STOMACH.

Causes: peptic digestion, paresis, caustics, irritants, acids, alkalies, salts,


mechanical irritants, hot food, parasites, thrombosis, embolism, specific disease
poisons, aneurism, tumors, infective growths, nervous disorder, debility, toxins of
diphtheria, staphylococcus, etc. Symptoms: slight colics, tympany, emaciation,
vomiting blood, tender epigastrium, dark or bloody stools, irregular bowels; in
carnivora abdominal decubitus, arched back, bloody, mucous, acid vomit, colics
after meals. Lesions: in horse erosions, ulcers, parasites, neoplasms,
discolorations, extravasations; in cattle and dogs on folds, nature of ulcer.
Treatment: restricted, digestible diet, lavage, anodynes, bismuth, antacids,
antiseptics, salol, naphthol, chloral, pure water.

Causes. Gastric ulcers may arise from quite a variety of causes


which determine necrotic conditions of the mucosa and the gradual
invasion of the resulting lesion by destructive microbes. One of the
simplest factors is the peptic juice, the stomach, being struck with
paresis (in inflammation, fever, nervous disorder), while containing
a quantity of its secretion, undergoes an autodigestion which affects
particularly the lowest (pyloric) portion, toward which the liquid
gravitates, and the free edges of the folds which are the most exposed
to its action.
The swallowing of irritant and caustic agents (the mineral acids or
alkalies, mercuric chloride, tartar emetic, antimony chloride, Paris
green, arsenious acid, etc.) by corroding or causing destructive
inflammation of the exposed mucous membrane may similarly
operate. This is especially the case with monogastric animals, (horse,
pig, dog, cat), as in the ruminants such agents tend to be diluted in
the first three stomachs and rendered more harmless.
Mechanical irritants may cause the lesion and infection atrium in
any of the domestic animals, pins, needles, nails, pieces of wire and
other sharp pointed bodies being swallowed by horse and ox, and
small stones, pieces of bone, and all sorts of irritant objects picked up
by the puppy or rabid dog.
Cooked food swallowed hurriedly at too high a temperature is
especially liable to start necrotic changes in the single stomach of
horse, pig or dog, the ruminant being in a measure protected by the
food passing first into the rumen.
The wounds caused by gastric parasites may become the starting
points of molecular degeneration and ulceration. In the horse the
spiroptera megastoma, s. microstoma, and the larvæ of the various
œstri; in cattle and sheep the strongylus contortus, s. convulutus, s.
filicollis and s. vicarius; in swine the spiroptera strongylina,
Simondsia paradoxa, and gnathostoma hispida; in dogs spiroptera
sanguinolenta, and in cats the ollulanus tricuspis act in this way.
Gastric catarrh debilitates the affected mucosa and lays it open to
necrotic microbian infection especially in the pyloric sac and on the
summit of the folds.
Interruption of the local circulation in the deeper parts of the
mucosa as in inflammation and capillary thrombosis, arterial
embolism, venous thrombosis, may lead to local sloughing and
ulcerous infection. This may be seen in the petechial fever of the
horse, malignant catarrh, rinderpest, and anthrax in cattle and
sheep, and in canine distemper in dogs. Vogel found ulcers resulting
from a gastric aneurism in the dog.
Tumors and infective growths in the walls of the stomach may
prove an occasion of ulceration. Thus sarcoma, epithelioma,
actinomycosis and tubercle may be the primary morbid lesion in
different cases.
Gastric ulcers have also been attributed to morbid nervous
influences as in dogs they have been found associated with lesions of
the dorsal myelon, and the corpora quadrigemini, and faradisation of
the vagus has apparently led to their production.
General constitutional debility has been alleged as a factor, and
experimentally in dogs, the hypodermic or intravenous injection of
various microbes or their toxins (diphtheritic toxin, Enriquez and
Hallion, staphylococci, Panum, Lebert, Letulle, and a bacillus of
dysentery in man, Chantemesse and Widal), have produced gastric
ulcers.

I
AT the station of Bingham Cross Roads four passengers got off the
train. One, a woman with bundles, who was evidently familiar with
her surroundings, walked rapidly away through the hot September
sunshine toward the little village in the distance.
The other three stood on the platform and looked about, as if taking
their bearings. They were foreigners of an unfamiliar species. Their
fellow-passengers in the car had discussed them with an interest not
entirely free from suspicion, and their finally getting out at such an
unimportant station as Bingham Cross Roads caused a surprise
which, although reasonably under control, was still too strong for
concealment. From the windows of the car at least a dozen pairs of
eyes were watching them. The two men and the little boy who
composed this group were of dark complexion, with clean-cut,
regular features. The oldest, a man of sixty years or more, had a
military bearing, and was, if one could judge from appearances, a
person of authority in his own country, wherever that might be.
Although the younger man seemed to resemble him, it was in such a
general way that he might be either his son or no relation whatever.
But the little boy had excited a yet greater interest than his
companions. Although but six or seven years old, he comported
himself with as much dignity and reserve as the gentleman with the
silver hair. This gave the impression, and without apparent intention
on his part, that he also was an important personage. His dark eyes
were strikingly beautiful and, like those of his seniors, were distinctly
foreign in design.
When the train moved away the three travellers approached the man
with one suspender, who filled the position of station agent,
baggage-master, switchman, telegraph operator and freight clerk,
and inquired if there was a conveyance to the village of Daleford. He
pointed to a wagon at the farther end of the platform; that was the
Daleford stage. In answer to further questions they learned that the
next train back again, toward New York, left at six-thirty; that
Daleford was seven miles away; that they could spend an hour in
that village and catch the train without hurrying.
The only baggage on the platform consisted of two peculiar-looking
trunks, or rather boxes, which the multifarious official knew to be
theirs, as no similar articles had ever been manufactured in America.
They were covered with designs laid on in metal, all elaborately
engraved, and it was not suspected along the route that these
profuse and tarnished ornaments were of solid silver. This luggage
was strapped behind the stage, two venerable horses were
awakened and the travellers started off. Joe, the driver, a youth with
large ears and a long neck, soon gave his passengers some
excellent opportunities to explain themselves, which they neglected.
Aside from a few simple questions about Daleford and Mr. Josiah
Judd, to whose house they were going, the conversation was in a
language of which he had no knowledge. The first two miles of their
route lay along the Connecticut valley, after which they climbed to
higher ground. The boy seemed interested in the size of the elms,
the smell of the tobacco fields, the wild grapes, and the various
things that any boy might notice who had never seen their like
before.
The day was warm, and the road dusty, and when they entered
Daleford the boy, with the old gentleman’s arm about him, had been
asleep for several miles. Coming into the village at one end, they
drove down the main street, beneath double rows of elms that met
above their heads in lofty arches, the wide common on their right.
The strangers expressed their admiration at the size and beauty of
these trees. Moreover the cool shade was restful and refreshing. No
signs of human life were visible either in the street or about the white
houses that faced the common, and this with the unbroken silence
gave an impression that the inhabitants, if they existed, were either
absent or asleep.
The driver stopped for a moment at the post-office which occupied a
corner in the only store, and gave the mail-bag to the post-mistress,
a pale young woman with eye-glasses and a wealth of artificial hair;
then, after rumbling through the village for half a mile, they found
themselves again in the country.
The last house on the right, with its massive portico of Doric
columns, seemingly of white marble, had the appearance of a
Grecian temple. But these appearances were deceptive, the building
being a private residence and the material of native pine.
As they approached this mendacious exterior the little boy said
something in the foreign language to his companions, whereupon
they told the driver to stop at the door, as Mr. Judd was inside.
“That ain’t Mr. Judd’s house,” he answered. “His is nearly a mile
farther on, around that hill,” and he gave the horses a gentle blow to
emphasize the information. But the boy repeated his statement,
whatever it was, and the younger man said, with some decision:
“Mr. Judd is inside. Stop here.”
As the driver drew up before the house he remarked, with a sarcastic
smile:
“If Mr. Judd lives here, he’s moved in since mornin’.”
But the remark made no visible impression. They all got out, and
while the two men approached the front door by an old-fashioned
brick walk, the boy strolled leisurely through the grassy yard beside
the house. The driver was speculating within himself as to what kind
of a pig-headed notion made them persist in stopping at Deacon
Barlow’s, when, to his surprise, Mr. Judd emerged from a doorway at
the side and advanced with long strides toward the diminutive figure
in his path.
Mr. Judd was a man about sixty years of age, tall, thin and high-
shouldered. His long, bony face bore no suggestions of beauty, but
there was honesty in every line. The black clothes which hung
loosely upon his figure made him seem even taller and thinner than
he really was. The boy looked him pleasantly in the face and, when
he had approached sufficiently near, said, in a clear, childish voice,
slowly and with laborious precision:
“Josiah Judd, the General Subahdàr Divodas Gadi and the Prince
Rájanya Kásim Mir Dewân Musnud desire to speak with you.”
Mr. Judd stopped short, the bushy eyebrows rising high in
astonishment. His mouth opened, but no sound came forth. The
foreign appearance of the speaker, his familiar manner of addressing
one so much older than himself, together with a demeanor that
showed no signs of disrespect, and above all, his allusion to the
presence of titled strangers caused the American to suspect, for a
few seconds, that he was the victim of some mental irregularity. He
pushed the straw hat from his forehead, and looked more carefully.
The youthful stranger observed this bewilderment, and he was
evidently surprised that such a simple statement should be received
in so peculiar a manner. But Mr. Judd recovered his composure,
lowered the bushy eyebrows, and drawing his hand across his
mouth as if to get it into shape again, asked:
“Who did you say wanted to see me, sonny?”
A small hand was ceremoniously waved toward the two strangers
who were now approaching along the Doric portico. Coming up to
Mr. Judd they saluted him with a stately deference that was seldom
witnessed in Daleford, and the General handed him a letter, asking if
he were not Mr. Josiah Judd.
“Yes, sir, that’s my name,” and as he took the letter, returned their
salutations politely, but in a lesser degree. He was not yet sure that
the scene was a real one. The letter, however, was not only real, but
he recognized at once the handwriting of his brother Morton, who
had been in India the last dozen years. Morton Judd was a
successful merchant and had enjoyed for some years considerable
financial and political importance in a certain portion of that country.
DEAR Josiah: This letter will be handed you by two
trustworthy gentlemen whose names it is safer not to
write. They will explain all you wish to know regarding the
boy they leave in your charge. Please take care of this boy
at least for a time and treat him as your own son. I am
writing this at short notice and in great haste. You have
probably read of the revolution here that has upset
everything. This boy’s life, together with the lives of many
others, depends upon the secrecy with which we keep the
knowledge of his whereabouts from those now in power.
Will write you more fully of all this in a few days. Give my
love to Sarah, and I hope you are all well. Hannah and I
are in excellent health. Your affectionate brother,
Morton Judd.
P. S. You might give out that the boy is an adopted child of
mine and call him Amos Judd, after father.
These words threw a needed light on the situation. He shook hands
with the two visitors and greeted them cordially, then, approaching
the boy who was absorbed in the movements of some turkeys that
were strolling about the yard, he bent over and held out his hand,
saying, with a pleasant smile:
“And you, sir, are very welcome. I think we can take good care of
you.”
But the child looked inquiringly from the hand up to its owner’s face.
“Mr. Judd wishes to take your hand,” said the General, then adding,
by way of explanation, “He never shook hands before. But these
customs he will soon acquire.” The small hand was laid in the large
one and moved up and down after the manner of the country.
“Don’t they shake hands in India?” asked Mr. Judd, as if it were
something of a joke. “How do you let another man know you’re glad
to see him?”
“Oh, yes, we shake hands sometimes. The English taught us that.
But it is not usual with persons of his rank. It will be easily learned,
however.”
After a word or two more they took their seats in the wagon, the boy
at his own request getting in front with the driver. They soon came in
sight of the Judd residence, a large, white, square, New England
farmhouse of the best type, standing on rising ground several
hundred feet from the road, at the end of a long avenue of maples.
Clustered about it were some magnificent elms. As they entered the
avenue the driver, whose curiosity could be restrained no longer,
turned and said to the boy:
“Did you ever see Mr. Judd before?”
“No.”
“Then how did you know ’twas him?”
“By his face.”
He looked down with a sharp glance, but the boy’s expression was
serious, even melancholy.
“Ever been in this town before?”
“No.”
“Did Mr. Judd know you was comin’?”
“No.”
“Then what in thunder made you s’pose he was in Deacon
Barlow’s?”
“In thunder?”
“What made you think he was in that house?”
The boy looked off over the landscape and hesitated before
answering.
“I knew he was to be there.”
“Oh, then he expected you?”
“No.”
Joe laughed. “That’s sort of mixed, ain’t it? Mr. Judd was there to
meet you when he didn’t know you were comin’. Kinder met you by
appointment when there wasn’t any.” This was said in a sarcastic
manner, and he added:
“You was pretty sot on stoppin’ and I’d like to know how you come to
be so pop sure he was inside.”
The dark eyes looked up at him in gentle astonishment. This gave
way to a gleam of anger, as they detected a mocking expression,
and the lips parted as if to speak. But there seemed to be a change
of mind, for he said nothing, looking away toward the distant hills in
contemptuous silence. The driver, as a free and independent
American, was irritated by this attempted superiority in a foreigner,
and especially in such a young one, but there was no time to
retaliate.
Mrs. Judd, a large, sandy-haired, strong-featured woman, gave the
guests a cordial welcome. The outlandish trunks found their way
upstairs, instructions were given the driver to call in an hour, and
Mrs. Judd, with the servant, hastened preparations for a dinner, as
the travellers, she learned, had eaten nothing since early morning.
When these were going on Mr. Judd and the three guests went into
the parlor, which, like many others in New England, was a triumph of
severity. Although fanatically clean, it possessed the usual stuffy
smell that is inevitable where fresh air and sunlight are habitually
excluded. There were four windows, none of which were open. All
the blinds were closed. In this dim light, some hair ornaments, wax
flowers, a marriage certificate and a few family photographs of
assiduous and unrelenting aspect seemed waiting, in hostile
patience, until the next funeral or other congenial ceremony should
disturb their sepulchral peace. While the men seated themselves
about the table, the boy climbed upon a long horse-hair sofa,
whence he regarded them with a bored but dignified patience. The
General, before seating himself, had taken from his waist an old-
fashioned money-belt, which he laid upon the table. From this he
extracted a surprising number of gold and silver coins and arranged
them in little stacks. Mr. Judd’s curiosity was further increased when
he took from other portions of the belt a number of English bank-
notes, which he smoothed out and also laid before his host.
“There are twelve thousand pounds in these notes,” he said, “and
about two thousand in sovereigns, with a few hundred in American
money.”
“Fourteen thousand pounds,” said Mr. Judd, making a rough
calculation, “that’s about seventy thousand dollars.”
The General nodded toward the boy. “It belongs to him. Your brother,
Mr. Morton Judd, perhaps told you we left in great haste, and this is
all of the available property we had time to convert into money. The
rest will be sent you later. That is, whatever we can secure of it.”
Now Mr. Judd had never been fond of responsibility. It was in fact his
chief reason for remaining on the farm while his younger brother
went out into the world for larger game. Moreover, seventy thousand
dollars, to one brought up as he had been, seemed an absurdly
large amount of money to feed and clothe a single boy.
“But what am I to do with it? Save it up and give him the interest?”
“Yes, or whatever you and Mr. Morton Judd may decide upon.”
While Mr. Judd was drawing his hand across his forehead to smooth
out the wrinkles he felt were coming, the General brought forth from
an inner pocket a small silk bag. Untying the cord he carefully
emptied upon the table a handful of precious stones. Mr. Judd was
no expert in such things, but they were certainly very pretty to look at
and, moreover, they seemed very large.
“These,” continued the General, “are of considerable value, the
rubies particularly, which, as you will see, are of unusual size.”
He spoke with enthusiasm, and held up one or two of them to the
light. Mr. Judd sadly acknowledged that they were very handsome,
and threw a hostile glance at the gleaming, many-colored, fiery-eyed
mass before him. “How much do they represent, the whole lot?”
The General looked inquiringly at his companion. The Prince shook
his head. “It is impossible to say, but we can give a rough estimate.”
Then taking them one by one, rubies, diamonds, emeralds, pearls,
and sapphires, they made a list, putting the value of each in the
currency of their own country, and figured up the total amount in
English pounds.
“As near as it is possible to estimate,” said the Prince, “their value is
about one hundred and sixty thousand pounds.”
“How much do they represent, the whole lot”
“One hundred and sixty thousand pounds!” exclaimed Mr. Judd.
“Eight hundred thousand dollars!” and with a frown he pushed his
chair from the table. The General misunderstood the movement, and
said: “But, sir, there are few finer jewels in India, or even in the
world!”
“Oh, that’s all right,” said Mr. Judd. “I’m not doubting their worth. It’s
only kind of sudden,” and he drew his hands across his eyes, as if to
shut out the dazzling mass that flashed balefully up at him from the
table. For a New England farmer, Josiah Judd was a prosperous
man. In fact he was the richest man in Daleford. But if all his earthly
possessions were converted into cash they would never realize a
tenth part of the unwelcome treasure that now lay before him. He
was, therefore, somewhat startled at being deluged, as it were, out
of a clear sky, with the responsibility of nearly a million dollars. The
guests also mentioned some pearls of extraordinary value in one of
the trunks.
“Well,” he said, with an air of resignation, “I s’pose there’s no dodgin’
it, and I’ll have to do the best I can till I hear from Morton. After the
boy goes back to India of course I sha’n’t have the care of it.”
The General glanced toward the sofa to be sure he was not
overheard, then answered, in a low voice: “It will be better for him
and will save the shedding of blood if he never returns.”
But the boy heard nothing in that room. He was slumbering
peacefully, with his head against the high back of the sofa, and his
spirit, if one could judge from the smile upon his lips, was once more
in his own land, among his own people. Perhaps playing with
another little boy in an Oriental garden, a garden of fountains and
gorgeous flowers, of queer-shaped plants with heavy foliage, a quiet,
dreamy garden, where the white walls of the palace beside it were
supported by innumerable columns, with elephants’ heads for
capitals: where, below a marble terrace, the broad Ganges
shimmered beneath a golden sun.
Maybe the drowsy air of this ancestral garden with its perfume of
familiar flowers made his sleep more heavy, or was it the thrum of
gentle fingers upon a mandolin in a distant corner of the garden,
mingling with a woman’s voice?
Whatever the cause, it produced a shock, this being summoned
back to America, to exile, and to the hair-cloth sofa by the voice of
Mrs. Judd announcing dinner; for the step was long and the change
was sudden from the princely pleasure garden to the Puritan parlor,
and every nerve and fibre of his Oriental heart revolted at the
outrage. There was a war-like gleam in the melancholy eyes as he
joined the little procession that moved toward the dining-room. As
they sat at table, the three guests with Mrs. Judd, who poured the
tea, he frowned with hostile eyes upon the steak, the boiled
potatoes, the large wedge-shaped piece of yellow cheese, the
pickles, and the apple-pie. He was empty and very hungry, but he
did not eat. He ignored the example of the General and the Prince,
who drank the strong, green tea, and swallowed the saleratus
biscuits as if their hearts’ desires at last were gratified. He scowled
upon Mrs. Judd when she tried to learn what he disliked the least.
But her husband, swaying to and fro in a rocking-chair near the
window, had no perception of the gathering cloud, and persisted in
questioning his visitors in regard to India, the customs of the people,
and finally of their own home life. Mrs. Judd had noticed the black
eyebrows and restless lips were becoming more threatening as the
many questions were answered; that the two-pronged fork of horn
and steel was used solely as an offensive weapon to stab his
potatoes and his pie.
At last the tempest came. The glass of water he had raised with a
trembling hand to his lips was hurled upon the platter of steak, and
smashed into a dozen pieces. With a swift movement of his arms, as
if to clear the deck, he pushed the pickles among the potatoes and
swept his pie upon the floor. Then, after a futile effort to push his
chair from the table, he swung his legs about and let himself down
from the side. With a face flushed with passion, he spoke rapidly in a
language of which no word was familiar to his host or hostess, and
ended by pointing dramatically at Mr. Judd, the little brown finger
quivering with uncontrollable fury. It appeared to the astonished
occupant of the rocking-chair that the curse of Allah was being
