Of Mr. BART LETT'S Book 



UPON THE 



DISEASES OF HORSES, 



Being this author'' s doElrine of the Glanders^ which 

 is tranjlated by the Sieur la Fojfe into French 

 in this work, 



' I * H E caufe and feat of the glanders has 

 -■* till lately been fo imperfe<5lly handled, 

 and fo little underfcood by the writers on this di- 

 ftemper, that it is no wonder it fhould be rank- 

 ed among the incurables : but a new light

 rier, who has been at the pains to trace out, 

 and difcover by diffedlions, the fource and caufe 

 of this diforder ; we hope the method he 

 has propofed, with fome further experiments 

 and improvements, will foon bring to a certain- 

 ty of cure (in moil cafes at lead) a diftemper 

 fo dangerous to our horfes, and that hitherto 

 has eluded the force of art.
