GLANDERS. 
EXPLANATION OF ILLUSTRATIONS. 
{These illustrations of photographic copies of the plates accompanying Professor 
Gerlach’s treatise on glanders, published in the Jahresbericht der Koeniglichen Thier- 
arzneischule zu Hannover, 1868. Lhe same illustrate the morbid anatomy of glanders.] _ 
PLATE J.—F ra. I. Development of glanders-cells of connective-tissue corpuscles in 
the mucous membrane cf the septum. Enlargement 300. 
1. Spindle-shaped cells, with a large oval nucleus. 
2. The same, more swelled; nucleus larger; a second nucleus developing. 
3. Cells like No. 2, but with ends blunted; more granulated and approaching decay. 
' 4, Round cells of different size, with a large nucleus; the largest ones have a dark, 
granulated nucleus; beneath free nuclei and granulated detritus. 
Fig. II. Microscopic cut from gray-yellowish glanders; nodules of the mucous mem- 
brane of the septum, in which (cat) can be seen spindle-shaped cells in diftereut stages 
of development to round ceils with a fibrous intercellular substance. Enlargement 
300. At a the spindle-shaped cells and at b the round cells prevailing. 
Fic. II. Development of glanders-cells of epithelium elements in the pulmonal 
nodules. Enlargement 300. 
1. Normal cylinder-cell with a nucleus, 
2, Cylinder-cell with a second nucleus developing. 
3. Cylinder-cell with two and three developed uuclei. 
4. Bag-shaped rudiments of cylinder-celis filled with young round cells. 
5. Giant-cells with young round cells. 
6. Small and large round cells with a large, dark, and granulated nucleus. 
PLATE II.—F ia. IV. Lower end of the septum with glanders-nodules and ulcers, 
(Natural size.) 
1. Various gray glanders-nodules. 
2. A group of glanders-nodules with a round hole in the middle. (Incipient 
glanders-ulcers. ) 
3. A solitary glanders-ulcer. 
4. Confluent glanders-ulcers with elevated borders and dirty bottom. 
Fig. V. Transversal cuts through the gray nodules in the mucous membrane of the 
septum. (Natural size.) 
a, Gray nodule in the midst of the tissue of the mucous membrane; the upper layer 
of the mucous membrane raised. 
b. Gray nodule in the upper layer of the mucous membrane, visible on the surface. 
Fic. VI. A piece of the lower border of a lung, cut surface. (Natural size.) 
1. Miliary tubercles. 
2. Tubercle of the size of a pea. 
3. A large glanders-nodule developing. 
Fig. VII. Also a piece of the lower border of a lung, cut surface. (Natural size.) 
1, Miliary nodules surrounded by a red crust. 
2 Large gray glanders-nodule (glanders excrescence) growing yet in one direction
