3o6 GLANDERS. 



The ** tafk of juftice thus performed/' I 

 take leave of this fubjedt, with an earncfl: re- 

 commendation to all claflfes never to negledt 

 horfes, in the flightell degree, when attacked 

 with colds, coughs, ftrangles, a running at the 

 nofe, or indeed any other complaint that may, 

 either by a rapid or gradual progreffion, dege- 

 nerate to a difeafe of fo much trouble, diffi- 

 culty, and danger. The rational fyftem of prac- 

 tice in this diforder may be forcibly repeated, 

 and inculcated in a very few words. So long 

 as the attack continues in its early and fimple 

 ftate, be induftrioufly attentive to the execution 

 of fuch inflrudlions as are given under the dif- 

 ferent heads of thofe fymptoms that are then 

 mofl: predominant ; but, fhould patience and 

 fair trial demonftrate the non-fubmiffion of 

 difeafe and inefficacy of medicine, the glands 

 or kernels under the jaw-bone continuing 

 during the whole courfe inflexible, the matter 

 firfl: tinged with blood, then becoming deep in 

 colour and moil offenfive in fmell, the carcafe 

 emaciated, aud the whole frame fmking under 

 univerfal depreffion, the jirjl lofs will be ulti- 

 mately befl, in a refignation of his hide to the 

 collar-maker, and his remains to the hounds.
