GLANDERS. 



Fellow-Citizens : — 



The sales of condemned government Korses in 

 New Jersey and adjacent states, having intro- 

 duced into our county and immediate vicinity 

 the terrible scourge known as "glanders," I con- 

 ceive it my imperative duty to warn you in time 

 of the danger which is threatening our com- 

 munity. 



If the experience of a veterinary surgeon, who 

 has devoted twenty years of his life to the relief 

 of the noblest animal in the gift of Providence, 

 is not sufficient to excite your sympathy and even 

 your fears, I am convinced that the following 

 reports, based upon evidential facts and undoubted 

 authority, will attain that object. 



You will see the proofs that " glanders" is a 

 disease without remedy, positively incurable, ex- 

 tremely contagious, easily commmncated to man, 

 and that every day human life is sacrificed to 

 incredulity and ignorance !
