of the animal by the kidneys. This treatment will not 

 interfere with the other medicine, which Is powdered 

 gentian root, three drachms; powdered sulphate of cop- 

 per, two drachms. Mix these articles, and give the 

 whole for a dose, and give one dose morning and mid- 

 day. 



These medicines will have to be continued for a long 

 time, not only to cure the disease, but to improve the 

 health. The horse must be well and highly fed, and re- 

 moved from other horses while the treatment is going on. 

 Change the feed often, so as to get all the elements that 

 the blood requires, and to keep up the appetite, for if the 

 appetite fails, no cure can be made. 



Rememher. — Glanders associated with tubercles of the 

 lungs, cannot be cured, and it then partakes rather of 

 the nature of consumption than of simple glanders with- 

 out tubercles, which is easily cured.

Gleet. — [Nasal.) — This term is used to denote a thin, 

 transparent discharge from the nose in cases of coryza, 

 and as a sequel to catarrh and cold in old and debilitated 

 horses. Whilst there are no ulcers on the lining mem- 

 brane of the nose, or no enlargement of gland under 

 the jaw, the case may be dismissed as simple gleet, which 

 can be readily cured by good feeding and a few tonic 

 powders, such as powdered sulphate of copper, three 

 ounces; powdered gentian root, four ounces; powdered 

 Spanish fly, one drachm. ^ Mix, and divide into twelve 

 powders, and give one powder once in the twenty-four 

 hours. These powders will last two weeks, and can be 

 renewed if necessary. Give the powders in large bulk 

 or cut feed, so as to protect the coat of the stomach from 

 the effects of the Spanish fly.
