98 GLANDERS. 



CHAPTER XIX. 



GLANDERS. 



FOR this there is but one cure, and that is the bullet, or 

 any other summary process that will put the horse out of 

 the way. To ride or drive or have any association with a 

 glandered horse, endangers the life of the individual so 

 engaged ; it is an awful disease, and seems to be a 

 poison in the blood, which nature attempts to throw off by 

 a discharge from the nose, very often from one nostril 

 only. It is pure pus that comes, yellow and opaque and 

 quite offensive ; the smallest quantity of it getting into 

 the human system is certain death ; and there being no 

 possible cure for the horse, there is but the one thing to 

 be done.
