the left submaxillary gland (on which side the ulcerations 

 on the mucous membrane were first noticed) was 

 also present, but the gland was quite movable. The 

 body became covered all over with a number of pimples 

 about the size of a pea, something similar to urticaria, there 

 being no particular arrangement ; the swellings of the 

 extremities, particularly the hind limbs, increased, but 

 cording of the lymphatics was altogether absent, and the 

 temperature continued to vary from 103 to 104. The case 

 was isolated with a view to being tested with mallein, but 

 after ten days, as the temperature remained up, and as 

 the case was rapidly becoming much worse (being greatly 

 emaciated, and now almost in a dying condition), it 

 was destroyed. At this time the ulcerations on the 

 mucous membranes were extending, respirations were 

 increased, the profuse dirty, sticky, blood-stained 

 discharge from the nostrils increased daily ; the pimples 

 all over the body had formed into vesicles, which had 

 rapidly broken out and discharged, more particularly 

 on the backs of the tendons of the hind legs, which 

 thereby assumed the appearance of an advanced case 

 of glanders. Microscopical examination of the pus 

 from the tissues and from scrapings of the ulcerations 

 on the pituitary membrane revealed the cryptococci, 

 but no lesions of glanders could be detected either in 

 the lungs or in any other part of the body. This case 

 was more like glanders than any other verified case of 

 epizootic lymphangitis that I have seen, and, previous 

 to destruction, 1 had certainly come to the conclusion 

 that it was a case of glanders, although I already knew 

 from practical experience that the ulcerations on the 

 mucous membranes had the typical appearance of the 

 epizootic lymphangitis, and the submaxillary gland, 

 although enlarged, was still easily movable.
