«' it, and caufe the Fermentations neceflary to the proper 

 «' Places of the Body, where the excremehtitious Parts of 

 *' the Blood fhould be thrown off, fuch Excrements are 

 •' coUeded every Day in a greater Quantity, and acquire a 

 *' greater Degree of Malignity, being hardly any Part of 

 *' them difcharged any other Way but this, which is pre- 

 *' ternatural, and moft times becomes deilru6tive to the 

 *' Beaft, after the Difeafe hath arrived to the Height. 

 Seme further But we fliall here fuhjoin, to what Mr. 



Obfervations Suape has faid concerning the Glanders^ fome 

 ccncernitig the few Coniiderations that will make this Mat- 

 Glandersy See. ^gj. y^f ^igre intelligible ; andin order there- 

 unto, the Reader would do well to confider that an Ulcer, 

 or an Abfcels form'd in any Part, from whence there may 

 conftantly be derived a very large Difcharge of Matter, will 

 ibon bring the Body into a weak and debilitated Staie^ by 

 depriving it of its neceflary Suftenance and Support ; and 

 this we find by daily Oblervation, both in human Bodies, 

 and in brute Creatures. 



Nor does this happen by Reafon of the Quantity of Mat- 

 ter alone that iflues from thofe Parts, but as it caufes an 

 over great Determination of the Blood towards the ulcera- 

 ted Part, which leflens the common and ordinary Difchar- 

 ges by the Glands and Pores of the Body ; for by this 

 Means the Blood is render'd more vifcid, and unapt to 

 Motion, and fas the above-mention'd Author obferves) it 

 lofes its Spirits ; and therefore it very readily ftagnates in the 

 foft Parts, and where the Blood-vefl'els are very fmall, as 

 in the Lungs, Kidnies, &c. forming Ulcers in them alfo. 

 And for this Reafon it very often falls out, that glander'd 

 Horfes turn Confumptive, and Confumptive Horfes turn 

 glander'd. And this has brought Farriers into different Opi- 

 nions concerning the Glanders, becaufe moll glander'd 

 Horfes, after they were open'd, have been found defe(aive 

 in one or more of their Inwards. 



But to underfland the Nature of this Diftemper aright, 

 it will be neceflary to confider, that it takes its Beginning, 

 and has its chief Seat in a I'ttle foft fpongy Flefn, which is 

 eafily dilated by the lealt Influx of Blood ; and therefore 

 we fometimes obferve a Running at the Nofe in fome 

 Florfes from a very flight Cold ; but when this Subfl:ance 

 happens to be very much relaxed, any one may, without 

 much Difficulty, imagine how the Running will be apt to 

 increale.
