30 BOARD OP AGRICULTURE. [Jail., 



In conclusion we wish to state that we have no personal 

 pride to sustain in this affair. We could not consistently do 

 otherwise than we have done, as the Commission, in view of 

 the authorities we have consulted, and we submit the case to 

 the Board and the public, hoping that it will receive a careful 

 examination and that some way will be provided to protect 



the State.

REPORT OF DR. A. H. ROSE. 



New Haven, Conk., June 23, 1881. 



Hon. E. H. Hyde : 



At your request I examined, April 23d, two mares, tlie property of Mr. 

 n. S. Merwin, of Durham. The first mare I examined was a dark brown, 

 Avhite stripe on face, and white feet. There was a slight discharge from 

 both nostrils; also a slight enlargement of snb-masillary glands. A 

 very congested Schneiderian mucous membrane. Loss of respiratory 

 murmur, and dullness on percussion over the left lung, caused, in my 

 opinion, from the existence of " tubercules." The second mare examined 

 was a black, white star on forehead. This mare had enlarged sub-max- 

 illary glands, nodosities, and small ulcers in left nostril; cough when 

 pressure is made on larynx, slight discharge from both nostrils, marked 

 dullness on percussioii, and loss of respiratory murmur of both lungs, 

 due to the presence of " tubercules." 



Both of these horses, in my opinion, based upon the condition I found 

 them in, and upon the foregoing symptoms and conditions, are afflicted 

 with glanders. 



I remain yours respectfully, Alvord H. Rose, D. V. S. 



47 Crown street, Xew Haven, Conn.
