THE MICROBE OF GLANDERS 251 



The groomsman may reasonably hope for the dis- 

 covery of the antitoxine that shall cure. Mean- 

 while, look out. Be cautious. The moment an 

 animal is found to have the disease, cease to groom 

 or care for it. It should at once be killed and cre- 

 mated. Then disinfect self, harness, stall, every- 

 thing tainted. 



Generally to wash hands once or twice a day in 

 carbonic acid diluted properly with water, would 

 be the part of wisdom.
