DR. LEGEAR'S STOCK BOOK. 25 



ally is not so sticky as the discharge of glanders. The lining 

 membrane in the nose is reddened at first, but soon takes on a 

 paler color, but has no ulcers. Slight enlargement of the bones 

 of the face may be seen, and tapping the enlargement with the 

 knuckles a dull dead sound is heard, indicating that there is 

 matter beneath. In such cases" the breathing may be affected. 

 When the bones are diseased the discharge will have a disagree- 

 able odor. 



Treat went. The treatment of this disease is very important, 

 owing to the fact that animals affected with it (nasal gleet) are 

 very liable to take the glanders if exposed to the contagion. 

 Nasal gleet will not run into the glanders, but it weakens the 

 animal's system and makes it very liable to take the glanders if 

 exposed. If taken in time most of cases of this disease can be 

 cured, but after it is let run on for several months it is then very 

 tedious and hard to cure. It may be well to quarantine (remove 

 it from other horses and mules) the animal for a few days and 

 give large doses of blood tonics as the following: 



Sulphate of iron 3 ounces. 



Iodide of potassium 2^ ounces. 



Mix, and make 20 powders, and give one night and 

 morning in damp feed. 



When the above are all given get the following prescription 

 filled and give as directed: 



Sulphate of copper 3 ounces. 



Powdered mix vomica 2 ounces. 



Powdered gentian 3 ounces. 



Powdered anise seed ounce. 



Mix, and make 20 powders, and give one night and 

 morning in damp feed.
