GLANDERS. 
This malignant disease still prevails in London and its 
immediate neighbourhood, and we fear that many persons 
who are in possession of glandered horses are content to run 
the risk of detection rather than give notice of the existence 
of the malady. A few of the animals have been sent under 
proper regulations to the licensed horse slaughterers in the 
metropolis, but they form a small per-centage only of the 
absolute number diseased. 
Besides the several English counties in which glanders 
exists, the malady prevails also in Wales.
