THE WORKS OF FOREIGN VETERINAUY WRITERS. IX 



afterwards, it was found that much larger doses could be given 

 without inconvenience. In some cases it was given to the extent 

 of two pounds in the course of the day, made into an electuary 

 with honey. It is stated that a considerable number of horses 

 were thus cured. Besides giving the sulphur, about two quarts of 

 blood were taken off every third or fourth day during the treat- 

 ment. The following statement is annexed to the pamphlet: — 

 " The veterinary surgeon attached to the imperial breeding 

 stud of Borculo in Holland has practised M. Collaine's mode of 

 treatment, and, after two months' trial, thirty glandered horses 

 were perfectly cured, ten are in a state of convalescence, and 

 twenty have died during the treatment." Notwithstanding the 

 boasted efficacy of this mode of treatment, it appears, from a 

 recent publication on glanders, by M. Dupuy, that it has been 

 fairly tried at the Veterinary School at Alfort, and has not in a 

 single instance succeeded. M. Dupuy's work appeared in 1817, 

 in one volume 8vo., and treats of glanders as a tubercular or 

 tuberculous affection, having for its title, " De I'Affection Tuber- 

 culeuse, vulgairement appellee Morve (glanders). Pulmonic 

 (consumption, or phthisis), Gourme (strangles), Fausse Gourme 

 (spurious or bastard strangles). Farcin (farcy)." Some observ- 

 ations on this work will be found in the Appendix, under the 

 head Glanders. The most valuable w^ork that has appeared in 

 France since the Revolution is A Treatise on the Anatomy of 

 Domestic Animals, by Professor Girard, 1807, two volumes 8vo. 

 In 1813, there appeared a Treatise on the Feet, &c., by the 

 same author, in one volume 8vo. with six plates illustrative of 

 the anatomy of the foot, not only of the horse, but of the other 

 domestic animals, and poultry : this, also, is a work of consider- 

 able merit. In 1817, the first part of a theoretical and prac- 

 tical treatise on the horse's foot, and on shoeing, was published, 

 under the title of " Cours Theorique et Pratique de Marechalerie 

 Veterinaire, par F. Jauze." This work was completed in 1818, 

 and forms one large 4to. volume, with no less than 110 plates. 

 M. Jauze announces another work as about to be published in 

 five volumes 8vo., Avith numerous plates. This work is said to 

 treat of the internal and external pathology of the larger do- 

 mestic animals, the veterinary jMateria Medica, and the vete- 

 rinary jurisprudence. " Every article in this treatise," the 

 author says, " will be described with particular order and pre- 

 cision, and notliinrj superfluous will be found in it." If we may 

 judge from the work already published, and the number of 

 volumes announced, it seems probable that the readers of the 

 work will be of a different opinion. The introduction to his 

 " Coui's de IVIarechalerie" consists of an enumeration and short 

 description of the works that have appeared from the earliest 

 times on the art of shoeing ; and, among these, the ingenious
