EFFECTS OF MEDICINE ON HORSES. 
glanders, now of the sub-acute character ; however, there is foetor 
from both nostrils : the odour from the off one is quite offensive, 
there being upon this side of the septum nasi an ulcer apparent. 
Both sets of submaxillary glands are swollen. Let him take of 
the muriate of barytes 3ss morning and evening. 
July 25th. — His appetite is indifferent. Continue the ball. 
2 6th, 27 th } 28th. — Both his appetite and spirits have amended 
under the operation of the medicine, which he has been taking re- 
gularly twice a-day. Farcy-buds are now apparent upon his 
thighs, hips, neck, and fore-legs : in fact, hardly any part is totally 
free from them. 
29 th } 30 th, 31^. — The dose has been augmented to half-a- 
drachm, morning and evening, and this for the last two days has 
affected his appetite. Many of the farcy-buds are now in a state 
of suppuration. The ulceration in the nose has a cleaner aspect. 
August ls£ — Omit the ball this morning ; apply the budding- 
iron to his farcy sores, and blister his submaxillary tumours. 
2d. — The ball given last night has again caused him to loathe 
his food. Remit the medicine until night. 
3 d, Ath , 5th , 6th, 7th. — Until the 7th — on which day the ball 
was remitted until the evening, from his appetite becoming de- 
fective — the medicine has been regularly administered in 3ss 
doses, morning and evening. The farcy has not been making any 
fresh incursions; and as for the ulceration in the nose, it cer- 
tainly appears upon the surface disposed to become dry and scab 
over. The discharge from the nose also is diminished. 
9 th. — Omit the medicine to-day, on account of the want of 
appetite. 
1(M, 1 \th. — Ulceration in the nose and appearances of farcy 
elsewhere in statu quo — certainly making no progress. 
14^A. — The owner feeling disheartened at the fluctuations from 
day to day, and requiring such assurances from us as we felt we 
could not give him, ordered his horse for slaughter. 
Post-mortem. — There was no appearance of disease in the 
sinuses of the head ; its attack proved confined to the nose, indeed 
almost to the off side. The lungs proved to be sound; a re- 
markable circumstance, considering the animal’s great age. 
CASE V. — A brown mare, seven years old, was admitted on the 
26th May, 1817, with symptoms of febrile catarrh. She lost her 
febrile disorder; but continued running at the nose so long, that, 
on the 21st of June following, it was deemed prudent to remove 
her out of her present box into a foul one. The discharge, which 
is of a thin mucous character, continues from both nostrils, neither 
copious nor particularly unhealthy. Within the off side of the 
nose one ulcer is to be seen, and within the near, two : and the
