CHAP, xxviir. 



Of the Glayiders and Mourning of the Chine. 



^HE Glanders is a Flux or running of corrupt- Matter 

 from the Nofe of a Horfe, which is of different Co- 

 lours, white, yellow, green, or black, according to the 

 degree of Malignity, or according as it has been of a lono- 

 or fhort Continuance. ° 



Concerning the Nature and Caufe of this Difcharge, 

 Authors have given very ftrange and unintelligible Ac- 

 counts ; fome have afcribM it to the Lungs, fome to the 

 Spleen, fome to the Liver and Kidneys, and fome to the 

 Brain ; and when it has continued fo long that the Mat- 

 ter becomes of a blackilh Colour, as is ufual in its iaft Stage, 

 ihey have imagined it to come from the Spine ; and from 

 thence have called it the Mourning of the Chine. Mr. 

 ^mpe, in his Anatomjs has taken Notice of the Farriers 

 Miftakes concerning this Diitemoer ; and altho' there are 

 fome things in his Account of it that are liable to Excep- 

 tion, yet becaufe it is much more rational than any thing 

 that has hitherto been advanc'd upon the Subjea: ; and like- 

 wife becaufe the Authority of io eminent a Farrier may, 

 ao doubt, weigh with moft Readers, we fhail therefore give 

 it a Place here. 



That Author having in the 5/^ Chapter " Mr. SnapeV 

 of his id Book fhewn the Ufe of the Glan- Account of the 

 iula pituharia, and that there can be no G/anders and 

 3ifcharge from it into the Nofe, falls into the -^^ ^ f'''^' ^ 

 ollowing DigreiTion concerning the Glan- ^^''^^'"''
