The purpose of this paper is to consider the general nonlinear nth order differential-difference equation

and derive an inequality of Lyapunov type. Later we use this inequality to find conditions to ensure that the oscillatory solutions of equation (1) tend to zero as t → ∞. The conditions that ensure that the oscillatory solutions of equation (1) tend to zero, also cause all solutions of equation

to be non-oscillatory.
