2. Fluid Diallcin in the doseo. i c.cm. gives no reaction. 



3. Fluid mallcin 0.5 c.cm. gives positive reaction at 



(I4-I-I9 i%)- 



4. Preexisting morbid process was accelerated after 



the injection of viallcin. 



5. Febrile reaction was more distinct in more severely 



affected horses. 



6. Highest temperature was in our cases always below 



39.5° C. and the maximum difference was 2.2° C. 



7. The maximum was attained at the 8th — loth hour 



after injection. 



4. Differential Diagnosis.

As already mentioned the clinical and anatomical characters 

 of saccharoinycosis are more or less allied to those of proper 

 glanders, and differentiation is often difficult. The following 

 points may serve for this purpose. 



I. Clinico-anatomically : — Saccharomycosis appears chiefly 

 in the skin. Changes are less frequent in the internal organs 

 and lymphatic glands, while true glanders often attack the 

 internal organs, especially the lungs. Cutaneous eruption of 

 saccharomycosis is very characteristic, especially fungoid new 

 formations, which are at least rare in true glanders and farcy. Pus 

 in the case of saccharomycosis is thick and glutinous like condensed 

 milk, or it consists of a dim fluid mixed with cheesy floccules, un- 

 like thinner quality of the content of the veritable farcy. Nasal 

 affection is, in saccharomycosis, mostly bilateral with fungoid 

 ulcerations, while in true glanders one side is generally affected 

 with hollow ulcers which often terminate in star-shaped 

 cicatrices. Such cicatrix is rarely found in saccharomycosis. 

 Swelling of the intermaxillary gland is not in every case the com- 

 plication of nasal affection ; the swelling, if present, is generally 

 bilateral, corresponding to nasal affection ; proper induration 

 is never found. True glanders arc mostly incurable, while sac-
