144 GLANDERS 
Specific biological treatment. A number of serums and vaccines 
have been tried but as yet they are unsatisfactory. A few workers 
have advocated the repeated injection of mallein as a remedy. The 
immunity established by an attack of glanders seems to be very 
transitory. 
Control. The laws of each state and country prescribe the course 
to be followed when glandered horses are encountered. It is a report- 
able disease and practitioners should conform to the law and regula- 
tions regarding it. With glanders, as with other infectious diseases, 
it is not possible to state what consideration shall be given the occult 
cases. The disease is governed by definite Jaws of nature and not 
until these are accurately interpreted can the best procedure be 
formulated for its control. The more general practice is to slaughter 
the reacting animals and thoroughly disinfect the premises. The 
consensus of opinion seems to be that it is not safe to keep occult 
cases.
