the febrile symptoms became more distressing, the 

 pulse rising to 124 ; the discharge from the nostrils 

 became considerable, and bore a glutinous charac- 

 ter ; another purple swelling appeared on the right 

 side of the nose, extending all along it, and early 

 on the seventeenth day he sunk under the disease. 

 On examination, the swellings were found to be full 

 of pus, under which a number of small white granu- 

 lations were perceptible. The sinuses above the 

 eyes contained similar granulations, and were filled 

 with a jelly-like secretion. On the inner surface 

 of the nose, on the side of the bone dividing the 

 nostrils, an ulcer appeared, exactly similar to the 

 ulcers in the nose of a glandered horse, and the 

 same white granulations showed themselves in the 

 colon. 



I have abbreviated this account from the paper 

 that I have mentioned, omitting or altering a few 

 technical expressions. The publication of the case 

 led to the discovery of several similar instances. 

 It follows, that too much precaution cannot be used 

 in grooming glandered horses, or even animals of 

 suspicious appearance. The most prudent course 

 would be to use gloves : the fear of a little ridicule 

 should never deter an honest fellow from so simple 

 a remedy.
