alike ; whereas, the running in incipient glanders fei- 

 chiefly contined to the left, and the gland of one sid© 

 only is ihen affected. Of eight hundred case^of glan- 

 ders that came under the notice of M. Dupuy^.only one 

 horse was affected in the right nostiil. 



As the disorder proceeds, it affects both sides alike. 

 Ulcers appear all over {he piluilnry membrane, occa- 

 sioned by ihe corrosive nature of the discharge. This 

 assumes a different appearance as the constitution of the 

 individual m-iy have l)«en more or less gross or vitiated ; 

 the appe;uance or quality of the discharge differs also, 

 accordmg to the manner in which the disease may have 

 been acquired ; that is, whether it has been engendered 

 or caught by infection. If it come of the first mention- 

 ed, through a depraved system, the glands are harder, 

 often smaller, and always adhere closer, than in those 

 cases which are derived from infection, at a time when 

 the animal is otherwise in comparatively good health.— 

 Again, with the infected horse, the matter comes off co- 

 piously ; it is curdled, and may be rubbed to powder 

 between the fingers when dry. 



Rcinedij. — Unless taken at an early period, no reme- 

 dy has been found to relieve the afflicted animal. As 

 sojn as a horse is suspected of glanders, he must bo 

 kept separate from all oihers, and the fumigation direct- 

 ed in page 54, should be resorted to repeatedly, and a 

 purgative or alterative ball may be given, according to 

 the state of his body, and ihe remedies prescribed for 

 catarrh, continued for a week or ten days. If the disor- 

 der does not lessen in this time, but the symptoms in- 

 crease in virulence, the horse must be destroyed. 



Stables ihar have been occupied by glandered hor?e«, 

 retain a louir time ihe taint, and the means of communi- 

 cating the disorder, which nothing will remove but wash- 

 ing with soap and sand, and scraping with sharp instru- 

 menls, every part of the rack, and all other things that 

 may have ccme in contact with the diseased horse.

 tion of all the humors of the body.
