Glanders, I33 



©f the flesh brushy in several diseases of the hu«ian species, which 

 preclude the possibility of the patient taking exercise, arc loo well 

 known, to need being- insisted on here. 



And this is a sort of case, where we shall be perfectly safe in 

 reasoning from analogy ; for, it will not in this instance, prove the 

 means of deceiving ivs. I have, thus, noticed the chief circumstan- 

 ces, which are the cause of the Glanders originating in stables^ 

 and suggested (he best means, of preventing the disease. I proceed 

 now, to mention the symptoms which usually precede and attend an 

 attack of Glanders, (when unconnected with any indications of Farcy) 

 and which I think necessary to be detailed, on account of the very 

 imperfect information which books contain, and of the ordinary po- 

 pular errors which, prevail, on this interesting subject. 



The -symptoms antecedent to an attack of Glanders, sometime? 

 resemble those which I have <inumerated, as preceding the Bud or 

 Button Farcy. In other words, the animal is observed to be dulL 

 and dispirited, his coat stares, he falls away in condition, aud 1osg« 

 hjs appetite. But these symptoms, though they are every now and 

 then discernable, do not by any means, constantly precede the 

 .Glanders, which usually steals on imperceptibly, and exhibits itself 

 without any previous indisposition. 



And it is of the greatest consequence, that this circunistancc 

 should be clearly and distinctly understood ; because, it is a com 

 monly received opinion, that Glanders frequently results, from 

 mere mismanagement or neglect of common colds, and some other 

 diseases. 



Now, this is^ thing which never happens, unless there be a strong 

 predisposition to this disease, in the habit of the Horse, from the
