 The directions and orders of the civil go- 

 vernment of France, which hindered people 

 from keeping glandered horfes long, prevented 

 M. la Foffe repeating his attempts, and pufhing 

 his experiments further ; but it is to be hoped 

 that fo ufeful a project will be purfued to its ut- 

 moft extent, as it feems fo promifing in the 

 execution, and is fo important in its confe- 

 quences: to which end we ihall beg leave to 

 animadvert upon what has been faid, and offer 

 our opinion both in relation to the difeafe, the 

 operation, andthe manner of conducting the cure. 

 The original fource and caufe then of this 

 diforder feems to be an inflammation of the 

 glands and membrane that lines the noflrils 

 and thefe cavities ; which if not difperfed in 

 time, will form matter and ulcerate and erode 

 the bones, for want of a free difcharge to un- 

 load the cavities ; and of proper applications 

 to cleanfe and deterge the ulcers : violent colds 

 or a feverifh tranflation fettling here, may alio 

 occafion the fame complaint, and are commoiv 

 ly the general caufes. 



There is a diforder in men called Ozœna that 

 has great fimilitude to this in horfes, and arifes 

 often from an inflammation in the maxillary fi- 

 nufes, or cavity of the cheek-bones 5 from 

 whence enfues a collection of matter : which 

 when the cavity is full, or the head properly 

 inclined, runs over into the nofe, and would 

 constantly difcharge thence like a glandered
