CAI\IES OF THE T 



This is often mistaken for Glanders and other 

 very disagreeable and fatal maladies, and may 

 be known by fetid discharge from one or both 

 nostrils; food dropping from mouth only par- 

 tially masticated, or discharged from bowels im- 

 perfectly digested. In proof of the oft mistaken 

 diagnosis in reference to this affection we will 

 name two or three of the fatal mistakes of even 

 eminent Veterinarians, in this affection, given by 

 Dr. Jennings, on this important subject, mz: 

 One case of a 7 years old horse, killed as a glan- 

 dered horse in 1853, but discharge from one nos- 

 tril found to emanate from one carious tooth, of 

 which there . yet remained enough to prove the 

 fatally mistaken diagnosis. Another case in 

 point in 1859, of a horse pronounced Grlandered, 

 but on examination found two first Molar teeth 

 carious, the result of which was closure of one 

 nostril and formation of an immense tumor on 

 same side of (right side) head. Both foregoing 

 cases were found in one of the dead yards of 

 Philadelphia, Pa., where those unfortunate vic- 

 tims are accumulated to extract, by boiling, what- 

 ever oil they may possess; to which we might 

 add many instances as fatal to owners, through 

 the same kind of oversight, or ignorance of Vet- 

 erinaries, or stupidity or carelessness of owners. 



TREATMENT. 



In short, is to avoid all the consequent calam- 

 ities, by careful examination, which only can 

 lead to correct diagnosis; which will invariably
