menacing or impending glanders ; in the ie- 

 cond a confirmed glanders -, and in the third 

 an inveterate glanders. Three fymptoms muft 

 alfo be known in this difeafe. 



1 . The inflammation in the pituitary mem- 

 brane. 



2. A fwelling of the glands under the nether 

 jaw. 



5 , The running of the glanders properly fo 

 called. 



Thefe three fym.ptoms are mutually caufed by 

 one another: the liril produces the fecond ; 

 the fecond produces the ulcers, whence pro- 

 ceeds a running of the noflril on the difeafed 

 fide. 



la my treatife of 1749, I called a gland, 

 which the inflammation of the pituitary mem- 

 brane caufes to fwell, the fuhlingual Gland ; but 

 it is only a lymphatic gland, the canals of 

 which, after fending out feveral ramifications, 

 go to the maxillary gland, and then to ano- 

 ther lymphatic gland placed under the parotid, 

 from which it divides two large branches which 

 accompany the trachea in its whole length, on 

 each fide ; then again pafTes between the two 

 bronchia, about two inches and half from the 

 aorta, into two lymphatic glands j there they 

 part in order to crofs them, and at lafl terminate 

 n the Vena cava. 



As to the fublingual glands they are fituated 

 at the fyraphyfis of the chin.
