USE OF GLANDERINE AND FARCINE. 243 
action has been decisive, and annihilative in a few hours of 
the disorder. It has speedily abated obstinate whooping- 
cough. 
There appear to be certain bronchial cases to which 
glanderine is not applicable ; those, namely, in which violent 
and fatiguing cough proceeds from real atony ; where the 
pulse is slow; and where stimulants and tonics are indi- 
cated, and useful. In such cases, glanderine increases the 
paroxysms ; and from the rapidity of its aggravative action, 
the patients, of their own accord, cease to take their medicine. 
Although, however, it cannot be continued in these cases, I 
have found the rapidity of the benefit of the next remedy, 
apparently increased by the precedence of the glanderine. 
It is possible that if we were to stop here and give nothing 
else, the glanderine would go on acting, and conduct the case 
to a successful result. 
In catarrh, as in bronchitis, and especially where the symp- 
toms are grievous, and the nose inflamed with thick and 
tinged defluxion, where the tonsils are swollen and the fauces 
gorged, you will be surprised by the rapidly specific action 
of glanderine. If the nose and mouth are ulcerated, so much 
the better for the energy of its characteristic action. 
In terrible cases of scarlatina, where the odour of the 
breath is putrid, and the buccal passages are filled with 
tenacious lymph and mucus, while the swollen tonsils close 
the posterior channels, this remedy alone, from its wonderful 
promptitude, seems capable of rescuing the patient. I have 
tried it in none such ; but that it wrnuld not disappoint ex- 
periment, is a fair deduction from what it can do. Recently, 
it saved a little patient apparently suffocating from diphthe- 
rite in the mouth and nose, and agonized w ith buccal ulce- 
rations : in twelve hours the morbid secretion had ceased 
and disappeared ; the superficial ulcerations had vanished ; 
and none of these symptoms reappeared. 
It has been tried in putrid fever with the most marked and 
rapid success : indeed, I should say that putrescence, de- 
structive or quasi-malignant ulceration, and tendency to de- 
composition of the tissues, are among prime indications for 
its employment. It is w r ell worth a trial in carbuncle and 
plague. 
I have given it in one case of ozaena with marked success : 
and should confidently rely upon it in malignant erisypelas, 
particularly if attended with large formations of pus, and de- 
struction of parts. In malignant pustule, which nearly re- 
sembles the disease that inoculated glanders produces inthe 
human subject, I believe it would be specific. In pyema, and
