THE HISTORY OF GLANDERS.

skin, testicles, lining membrane of the alimentary canal, &c. 
Should glanders be complicated with a tuberculous affection of the 
lungs, the animal coughs frequently, tires soon, perspires readily : 
latterly he loses his vigour and energy, becomes washy, soft, and 
lazy; subject to catarrh, ophthalmia, cutaneous eruptions, farcy, 
cedema, & c. And now, soon, glanders becomes complicated with 
farcy. Farcy buds are nothing else but scrofulous tubercles : they 
grow, develop, and decline, the same as pulmonary tubercles. 
Glanders bears, therefore , the closest analogy to phthisis in man. 
The phthisis of the pituitary membrane will sometimes turn of a 
cancerous nature ; at other times it has been known to become 
typhoid.” 
FARCY, Dupuy regards as the same “ tubercular affection” as 
glanders, notwithstanding it is “ often local and an original affec- 
tion ;” and on this account “it admits of being cured, while 
glanders has resisted every remedial means hitherto used.” When 
we find one veterinarian declaring farcy to be curable, another in- 
curable, “ the probability is, they have been treating different va- 
rieties of the same disease : in one case the farcy may have been 
local, in the other constitutional 
Of the Pulmonary Tubercle, Dupuy has observed “ three 
varieties, the miliary, the pisiform, and the unciform. Each 
tubercle is composed of an envelope or cyst, and of a whitish 
substance easily crushed between the fingers, which Messrs. 
Dulong and Labillardiere have found to resemble osseous matter. 
Very considerable depositions of this bony substance are occasionally 
seen in the proper pulmonary tissue, especially in the ox species. 
When the tubercles are of the large kind their number is limited ; 
but the miliary species are innumerable. While forming, they 
are firm, organized, and always found in the course of the blood- 
vessels, whose caliber is singularly augmented. They grow and 
become developed like any other organized bodies, without our 
being able to offer any rationale of the process, or of the space of 
time they continue organic, prior to their mollification and degenera- 
tion. They commonly end in ulceration and destruction of the 
pulmonary tissue. The lungs present vomicce or cysts of various 
sizes, containing thick reddish matter, or else a more liquid cheese- 
like matter.” 
Dupuy has likewise discovered miliary tubercles within the 
parenchyma of the liver and kidney ; but much oftener than in 
either of these bodies, within the testicles. Even the epidydymis 
has contained them. 
Dupuy agrees with Gilbert in regarding strangles as so far 
“ identical in its nature with glanders ;” — “ that strangles and 
bastard-strangles as well as farcy, grease, and ophthalmia, are
