taken into account, it will be found that there is more of the sem- 

 blance, than reality, of similitude between them. 



For, we must not overlook this material point, as applying to the 

 instance of chancre, that the patient's consciousness of the situation 

 which he has previously placed himself in generally awakens his 

 vigilance, and enables him to detect, the first appearance of the 

 disease; so that in many instances, the proper application may be 

 made to the part, before absorption of the poison has taken place. 



But, no such favourable circumstance can take place with respect 

 to beginning ulceration in the nose of the Horse, except by the pu-

 on in this place. 



Besides, we must not forget that in many cases of chancre, ab-

 vigilance of the patient, and the utmost skill and attention of the 

 Surgeon. I have been more diffuse on this point, than some, per- 

 haps, may think was necessary, partly from the desire of shewing 

 the precariousness and fallaciousness of analogy which has heretofore 

 led to the adoption of the most erroneous principles in Veterinary 

 practice, and partly with the view of strengthening the caveat, which

 brought into a very small compass. 



The same alterative and Stomachic balls, which I have recom-

 for Glanders, and they should be exhibited in the same manner and
