B. Although I was certain the Inflammation 

 of the pituitary gland was the firft lymptom of 

 the glanders in horfcs, yet in order to afcer- 

 tain it to myfelf I made the two following ex- 

 periments. 



I injeded one noftril of a found horfe with 

 a certain liquor. The pituitary membrane be- 

 came inflamed : this inflammation caufed a lym- 

 phatic gland under the jaws on the fame fide, 

 to fwell as I had forefeen ; the inflammation 

 of this membrane produced ulcers, whence the 

 fnot or matter of the glanders run through the 

 fame noftril. 



I again injedled both nofl:rils of a found horfe 

 with the fame liquor -, the pituitary membrane 

 inflamed, made the lymphatic gland on both 

 fides fwell ; and the fnot run from both nofl:rils 

 in a little time ; which confirmed me in the 

 opinion that the inflammation was the firfl: fym- 

 ptom of the glanders properly fo called : that 

 the glands fwelled under the jaws was the fe- 

 cond, and the running the third.
