 to need a particular explanation ; the bare de- 

 fcription of it is eafily underftood. After pro- 

 per injedlions and fumigations, the horfe mull 

 be walked about without heating him, taking 

 care to give him nothing but bran, and keep 

 him warm in the liable. There is no anfwering

 be purfued with attention, and we undertake it 

 in time, the glanders may be cured. 



If the gland is of any (landing, and the horfc 

 difcharges a bloody matter, and another gland 

 appears to be affected on the other fide the jaw,

 horfe mull be trepanned, as I have mentioned 

 it in my treatife of 1749 •, for it is the only me- 

 thod to prevent the flagnation of the corrofive 

 humour. 



Suppofe two horfes, one glandered the other 

 found, at the fame manger, if they are tied up 

 fo as that the found horfe may not receive the 

 breath of the diflempered one, he certainly will 

 not be infefled. 



After having explained what is a confirmed

 rable.
