CASE OF NASAL GLEET. 
By E. J. Parsons, M.R.C.V.S., Tiverton. 
Having lately had a case of nasal gleet under treatment, 
which appears to me to possess more than ordinary interest, 
from its troublesome nature, coupled with one or two un- 
toward symptoms with which I had to contend, I am induced 
to send you the particulars thereof for publication. 
My patient was a young, well-bred mare, 7 years old, the 
property of Mr. W. Chappen, of this place. She was in

I now determined on trying the sulphate of copper ;

superior and inferior maxillary sinuses, well washed them out 
every morning with tepid water, following this up with an 
injection of the Sol. Cupri. This treatment, although perse-
