 which by the common method is moftly waft- 

 ed. The mechanifm of this box is too fimple 

 to need a particular explanation ; the bare de- 

 fcription of it is eafily underftood. After pro- 

 per injections and fumigations, the horfe muft 

 be walked about without heating him, taking 

 care to give him nothing but bran, and keep 

 him warm in the (table. There is no anfwering 

 for the cure, for that depends upon the ftub- 

 bornnefs of the difeafe. But if the fymptoms 

 be purfued with attention, and we undertake it 

 in time, the glanders may be cured. 



If the gland is of any {landing, and the horfe 

 difcharges a bloody matter, and another gland 

 appears to be affected on the other fide the jaw, 

 with difficulty of refpiration, we muft fuppofe 

 it proceeds from the thickening of the mem- 

 brane : when the glanders is inveterate the 

 horfe muft 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 diftempered one, he certainly will 

 not be infected. 



After having explained what is a confirmed

 charges by the noftrils, of which four are incu- 

 rable.
