Of the GLANDERS. 117 



rffpecSt the horfe is generally healthy and 

 found, till the diftemper has been of fome 

 continuance.

It is always a bad fign, when the mat- p^^^ 

 ter flicks to the infide of the noftrils, fymp 

 like glue or ftiff pafte •, when the infide toms. 

 ofthenofeis raw and looks of a livid, or 

 lead colour : when the matter becomes 

 bloody, and ftinks, and when it looks of 

 an afh colour. But when only a limpid 

 fluid is tirft difcharged, and afterwards 

 a whitifh matter, the gland under the 

 jaw not increaiing, and the diforder of 

 no long continuance, we may expe6b a 

 fpeedy cure -, for in this cafe, which 

 arifes from taking cold, after a horfe 

 has been over-heated, the pituitary mem- 

 brane is but flightly inflamed, the lymph 

 in the fmall veflTels condenfed, and the 

 glands overloaded, but not yet ulcer- 

 ated. 



From thefe fymptoms and fome ob- obferv* 

 fervations made both by Braken and tion, 

 Gibfon, it is plain they were not abfolute 

 ftrangers to the feat of this diforder, 

 though they negledled pufhing their en- 

 quiries to the fountain-head, and con- 

 fequently were at a lofs to know how to 

 apply the remedy to the parts aflTedied.
