been left, and is thus carried into the circulation. All 

 public stables should have high divisions between the stalls, 

 to prevent the muzzles of horses from coming in contact with 

 each other, horses being very apt to smell at one another in 

 a stable, as it is by this faculty alone they recognise their 

 companions. 



From an ill-judged piece of economy, many persons, after 

 being aware of a horse being glandered, persist in keeping it 

 in the same stable with others. Every hour is risking the 

 health of all he possesses. It is the duty of every person, 

 so soon as he is certain of his horse having caught this dis- 

 ease, to destroy it as speedily as possible. For, although a 

 glandered horse may be able to work for a considerable 

 length of time under the influence of this disorder, he will 

 find ultimately that it is a bad piece of economy to keep 

 him under such circumstances. 



Many persons who have lost their horses by this disease 

 have resorted to extremes to prevent a continuance of it. 

 Some have even gone so far as to pull down their stables, 

 and others to remove their racks, mangers, and partitions. 

 It is quite sufficient if the mangers and other parts which 

 the discharge from the nostrils have touched, is well washed 

 with a scrubbing brush, with a strong solution of soda and 

 water, and afterwards with chloride of lime, the propor- 

 tion of which should be a pint-and-a-half to a pailful ol 

 water. The walls may also be washed with lime and water, 

 tihd all the halters, &c., destroyed, and the iron work 

 painted. 



Cure. — We have already said that we have never heard 

 of a well-authenticated cure of glanders. Hind says^ 

 "Glanders have been cured spontaneously on a large scale, 

 imder our own inspection, solely by regular good living ; a
