 the membrane of the nose, the constitution of the 

 horse is evidently involved ; he loses flesh ; his belly

 between the forelegs and chest, become, from the 

 tumefaction of these lymphatics, swelled and very 

 painful ; the legs are swelled, together with the usual 

 discharge of glanders.

Should a suspicious discharge appear at the nose, 

 the C C given in doses of fifteen drops three times 

 per day, will usually arrest it in a few days, and 

 prevent further mischief. 



A development of Farcy requires the same treat- 

 ment as for Glanders. Give the SPECIFIC for Dis-
