Report of the inoculation of a horse with glanderous virus tuTcen from the 

 nost7'iIs of a Much mare belonging to Mr. H. S. Merwin, Durham, Conn. 



The subject for inoculation was a bay gelding, 15 years old, lo|- hands 

 high, weight 900 lb?., poor condition, and lame. 

 Below is the result of the inoculation : 



(P. M.) There was an enlargement of the sul-maxillary gland on the 

 ri=cht side. One tdcer on the right side of the schneidcrian mucous 

 membrane. Three or four fin-hole ulcerations of the left side of sch'nei- 

 derian mucous membrane. Enlarged lymphatic glands under the chest and 

 ahdomcn. Lungs engorged with blood, and showing an extravasation 

 of blood in the air cells and bronchial tuhes. Lesions were mostly in the 

 head, as usual in acute glanders produced by inoculation.

 E. H. Hyde, Esq., — 



Dear Sir : At the visit which, in your company and that of Prof. 

 Law, I made on the 15th inst. of the mares of Mr. Merwin, at Durham, 

 I found them both suffering with glanders, — the symptoms at present 

 leaving no doubt about it. 



As I have said before, both animals ought to be destroyed at once. 



Respectfully yours, 



A. LlACTARD, M.D.V.S.
