for two days. The nictitating membrane protruded over the 
eye, the respiratory movements were very rapid, and accom- 
panied by frequent bleeding from the nostrils; the discharge 
being bright red, but not frothy, indicating that the hemorrhages 
were from the nostrils or upper air passage rather than from 
the lungs. On the afternoon of the same day, this lion died. 
On the post-mortem examination, necrotic areas were found in 
the nasal mucous membranes, catarrhal centers in the right lung, 
and oedematous infiltration in the mesenteric and bronchial 
lymph glands. The other organs were normal. On the follow- 
ing day three other lions that had been in the same cage began 
to show symptoms, such as refusal of food, hurried respiration, 
and protruding nictitating membranes. The next day two of 
the lions bled from the nostrils, and three animals died within 
a few days, making a total of five deaths. 
Several years ago I saw a case of glanders in a German 
sheepdog which had been infected from eating a portion of 
the diseased lung of a glandered horse. The dog died four 
days after the first symptoms were noticed. The lymphatic 
glands of the head and neck were suppurating; and the ulcer- 
ation of the nasal cartilage was extensive. Other observers 
have reported tigers, bears and wolves with ulcerous lesions in 
the nose, and nodules in the lungs, liver, spleen and lymphatic 
glands, which proved on microscopic examination to be glan- 
derous. 
When a positive diagnosis of glanders is made in any ani- 
mal, destruction should take place at once, and the cntire carcass 
buried or burned. 
The live-stock sanitary laws of all civilized countries include 
glanders among those diseases which must be officially reported, 
and provide also for regulations requiring the immediate destruc- 
tion of all diseased, and the quarantine of exposed animals. 
The cages in which glandered animals have been confined 
should be thoroughly disinfected; this applies particularly to 
the sleeping quarters of the animal. 
Tuberculosis among equines is of such rare occurrence in 
my experience that a recent case, which has come under my 
observation in connection with the examination of horses slaugh- 
tered in our abbatoir, I believe is worthy of mention.
