first the one, and from it into the other. The following case 

 will illustrate this : A mare, four years old, was attacked of 

 strangles. She Avas treated for some time by a fellow who 

 knew nothing of the character of the disease, but he eventually 

 succeeded in getting the discharge stopped. ; but, about eight 

 months after, the nostrils again commenced discharging. He 

 again stayed the progress of the malady; but, some ten 

 months after, symptoms of farcy made their appearance, and 

 soon the case was found to be one of confirmed farcy. At this 

 time another quack got hold of her, and succeeded in abating 

 the disease for a time ; but, in six or eight months, she was 

 found to have a genuine attack of glanders. I was, at this 

 time, studying, and, thinking the case a good opportunity for 

 experiment, I got possession of the mare. My tutor had be- 

 come convinced that medicine, internally, was of no use, and 

 resolved to try a different plan, which succeeded in the present 

 case, nothwithstanding the mare had infected her own colt, and 

 it died, not being able to stand the medicine. This treatment 

 has been successful in every case of farcy, and the first stage 

 of glanders. I will give it to the public for the first time 

 when treating of farcy. When strangles have been neglected 

 or improperly treated, and are about to return in the form of 

 glanders, in about six months after the attack, a discharge 

 from the nose will be noticed, and small but hard enlargement 

 of the glands under the jaw ; and, if still neglected, a true 

 case of glanders will be the result. 



Treatment. — If this disease is early noticed, the Same treat- 

 ment appropriate for common cold may cure it, with the 

 addition of a blister over the affected glands, as hereafter rec- 

 ommended. But it is safest to commence with the following 

 viixorous treatment as soon as the case is well ascertained to 

 be strangles. First commence by bleeding, taking about six 

 quarts of blood. The object of this is to subdue the inflam- 

 mation and reduce the fever. It is very important to prevent 

 the affected glands from suppurating, or, in plain language, from
