350 The Management and Diseases of the Dog. 
Mr. Fleming, in his “ Veterinary Sanitary Science,” on 
this subject, observes: “The receptivity of the dog is-not 
very great; indeed, not many years ago, inoculations with 
glander virus were so unsuccessful in this animal that it was 
believed it could not be infected. 
“ Herting made experiments forseveral years,but they were 
always incomplete in their results. He fed eight dogs for a 
number of weeks on the raw flesh of glandered horses, but 
without producing the disease inthem. Ait first, however, 
they were usually affected with diarrhoea. the feces being of 
a dark red colour. Nordstrom produced the malady in two 
dogs by feeding them with this flesh; they had a bloody 
discharge from the nostrils, redness of the eyes, and an 
cedematous swelling of the head. They died.* 
“ Lafosse mentions the case of a dog belonging to Marshal 
Neil, which contracted the malady through living in the 
same stable-with a diseased horse. Hertwig applied the 
nasal discharge from glandered horses to the Schneiderian 
membrane of six dogs, by means of a small brush. In two 
or three days this membrane became swollen and dark- 
coloured, and there was a thin glutinous discharge, with 
moderate tumefaction of the submaxillary lymphatic glands. 
When the matter was inoculated on the skin of the fore- 
head (where the animal could not lick the wounds), in two 
or three days there was swelling of the eyes, redness of the 
conjunctive, and tumefaction of the submaxillary glands. 
‘The wound inflamed, suppurated for about eight days, and 
then, a black crust forming over it, it healed in about 
twenty to twenty-five days. 
“ Of six dogs inoculated by Renault, two became affected. 
One of these perished three-and-a-half months after the 
local development of the disease, but the other only died 
in the fifth month. The successful inoculation of two horses 
with the virus obtained from the ulcers of these dogs left
