IN SEARCH OF A HORSE. 149 



hand and ancle became swelled and red, and the 

 fever greatly increased. The skin in various parts 

 of the body gradually assumed the same inflamed 

 appearance, and on the fourteenth day, a discharge 

 began to flow from the right nostril, accompanied by 

 a large swelling in the middle of the forehead, of a 

 purple color : the left eye was nearly closed, and 

 swellings took place on the arms and legs. These 

 swellings rapidly extended over the extremities and 

 the abdomen, and the febrile symptoms became more 

 distressing, the pulse rising to 124; the discharge 

 from the nostrils became considerable, and bore a 

 glutinous character ; another purple swelling appear- 

 ed on the right side of the nose, extending all along 

 it, and early on the seventeenth day he sunk under 

 the disease. On examination, the swellings were 

 found to be full of pus, under which a number of 

 small white granulations were perceptible. The 

 sinuses above the eyes contained similar granula- 

 tions, and were filled with a jelly-like secretion. On 

 the inner surface of the nose, on the side of the bone 

 dividing the nostrils, an ulcer appeared, exactly 

 similar to the ulcers in the nose of a glandered 

 horse, and the same white granulations showed them- 

 selves in the colon.
