TII E HISTORY OF GLANDERS. 
723 
although perhaps in the majority of cases tubercles are found in 
the lungs of glandered horses, yet there are instances in which 
there are none to be found there or elsewhere. The particular 
seat of glanders is certainly the membrane lining the nostrils and 
chambers of the head, although in a great number of cases the 
lungs are involved. We cannot say whether in all cases the con- 
stitution is affected, or whether in some instances the disease is 
entirely local ; but, in the subject chosen by Professor Coleman for 
experiment, it was clearly proved that the blood was infected. 
There is evidently a much greater predisposition in some horses to 
receive the disease, either from infection or otherwise*,” &c. 
TARDlEUt, bringing our literary history up to 1843, has made 
a systematic arrangement of the several important questions touch- 
ing glanders and farcy, and with considerable clearness and ability 
has respectively examined them : — 
1st. He considers the identity of glanders and farcy, in respect 
to their production — to their being allied by the same specific virus 
— as a point settled ; but he asks, are we thence to conclude, as other 
writers have done, that their pathology is identical? This grave 
question, involving no less than the knowledge of the nature of 
glanders and farcy, he confesses himself unable to decide, further 
than that the diseases differ in their nosological characters. 
2d. Glanders he regards as essentially consisting in lesion of the 
nasal fossce : all cases not shewing this belong to farcy ; and this 
applies to men as well as to solipedes. 
3d. That farcy, in the chronic stage, may present different phe- 
nomena in men and animals without losing their specific relation to 
each other. These constitute his “ Considerations Preliminaries.” 
The work itself is devoted to the consideration of what he denomi- 
nates “chronic” farcy and glanders in man. 
TWO CASES OF ABSCESS IN THE UMBILICAL ARTERIES OF 
THE BLADDER, OR ROUND LIGAMENTS; AND A CASE 
OF DOUBLE BLADDER, IN CALVES. 
By Mr. W. A. Cartwright, V.S., Whitchurch, Salop . 
Case I. — On Monday, 3d April, 1826, I accidentally met with 
a butcher who was going to kill a fat calf that was unwell, at the 
House of Industry in this town ; I therefore accompanied him.
