In A History of Penistone, J. N. Dransfield says : " Down 

 to the year 1730 the whole of the cloth manufactured at 

 Leeds was brought to market on men's or horses' backs. 

 Coals were in like manner carried from the pits on horseback

 horses " or pack horses ; and this mode of conveyance 

 continued until the end of the eighteenth century. The pack

" Strangles, though in the great majority of cases a mild 

 affection, is a very grave disorder indeed on account of the 

 numerous sequelae that may follow even a mild attack. Roar- 

 ing and other affections of the respiratory apparatus, heart 

 disease, and maladies connected with many other organs 

 quite frequently can be traced to strangles, and so far nothing 

 in the treatment of the malady or in its prophylaxes has 

 availed to prevent the occurrence of these troubles. A recent 

 French discovery appears to supply this want. A serum has 

 been discovered by Professor Dassmoille of the Pasteur 

 Institute, which, injected into horses (young or old), renders 

 them immune to the malady. A syndicate has been formed 

 in this country to exploit the serum, and doubtless it will be
