Live Slock. - Di/tajes of Horfes Glanders Farcy. G-reqfe. 



&quot;In the botts,which areprobablyproduced from theovas of a flydepofited on the fkin 

 of the animal during the hot feafon, and thence licked in by the tongue, and taken 

 into the ftomach, where they are afterwards hatched, and-adhere to the inner coat,* 

 the fame method of treatment will be found ufeful as in the preceding cafe. 



When horfes are difcovered to be affected with the glanders, they mould be 

 feparatcd from the others and confined by themfelves, and care taken that they 

 have no fort of communication with the others by any means whatever, as the leaf! 

 thing poffible will communicate the infection: -the fame remedies -fhou Id then be 

 made ufe of as in colds and ftrangles. 



In the farcy, when thelymphatic fwellings firft prefent them (elves about the legs, 

 a bliftering liniment well rubbed on the parts, as far as the difeafe extends, may 

 often be found effectual in removing the difeafe. Bleeding, to the extent of three 

 or four pints, may likewife be fometimes had recourfe to in the early ftate of the dif- 

 order with fuccefs. In the more inveterate ftate of the complaint, advantage has 

 been found from the ufe of balls compofed of one fcruple of mu dated quicksilver, 

 with half a drachm of camphor, and the fame quantity of purified opium, to which 

 -may be added half an ounce of crude antimony in powder, and two drachms of 

 ginger in powder, with honey in proportion, to make them up into a ball. And 

 another form that is often beneficial, is that often grains of calcined mercury, with 

 half a drachm of camphor and opium, and half an ounce of anifeed in powder, made 

 up into a ball with treacle. Either of thefe balls may be given every other evening, 

 .with mafties two- or three times in the day, to which occafionally a handful of malt 

 may be added. The water in thefe cafes mould be given warm. Rowels may 

 Jikewife be put in the chefl and thighs when neceffary. Cordials and a generous 

 diet mould be had recourfe to, and warm clothing, with gentle exercife daily em 

 ployed. When the diforder is removed, a ball compofed of half an ounce of crude 

 antimony, and the fame quantity offulphur and cremor tartar, with half a drachm of 

 oil of anifeedj may be found very beneficial in refloring the animal. 



The greafe is a diforder that occurs frequently, and which is beft removed by early 

 -attention. In well-fed horfes bleeding may be ufeful to nvo or three quarts 9 

 .either from the neck, or the thigh, when local bleeding is preferred. The hair 

 mould be clofely cut from the affected part, which muft be well warned with a
