Glanders and Farcy. 



Both Glanders and Farcy are practically 

 one and the same disease, only the last 

 named is developed in connection with the 

 skin. It is quite common to find the 

 lesions of both present in the same animal 

 at one time. In Glanders there is a 

 gummy discharge from the nose — com- 

 monly the left opening ; sores or ulcers up 

 the passage of the nose, and swelling at 

 the side of the jaw. In Farcy 'buds' or 

 * buttons ' form on the skin and ulcerate. 

 In either form the disease is readily trans- 

 ferred to man, and in him commonly fatal. 

 Immediate notification to the Local 

 Authority is necessary.
