THE PATHOLOGICAL HISTORY OF GLANDERS. 307 
4. Horse fell down in cart, cut shoulder.* 
5. Mare fell off mow at harvest time ; nothing to be seen.* 
6. Mare fell down with a load ; nothing to be seen. 
7. Colt fell down backwards while catching it.* 
8. Colt thrown down, and castrated. 
9. Pony fell down, and broke the knees. 
10. Mare, after taking the horse. 
11. Pony fell down ; nothing to be seen. 
12. Pony jumping off a high bank. 
13. Horse fell down with a load; cut shoulder. 
All these cases came on about fourteen days after the accidents, 
except the mare taking the stallion, which came on in a few hours. 
The last case I had was about a month ago. The tetanic affection 
terminates about the ninth day. 
The horse with the broken jaw goes to work ; the bone and 
teeth are a little loose. There seems to be a kind of fungus 
formed around the broken part, a thickness of the periosteum and 
buccal membrane, which looks just like an intestine tied in a knot. 
A large muscular ring round the bone. I used to tie her head up 
with three cords, so as to prevent her touching the ceiling, sides 
and floor, and let her loose at night with a muzzle on. I think the 
end of the maxillary bone will slough awayt. 
ON THE PATHOLOGICAL HISTORY OF 
GLANDERS. 
In one of the volumes recently issued by the Sydenham So- 
ciety, there is a translation from the German of the valuable work 
of Professor Hasse, of Zurich, on the Pathological Anatomy of the 
Organs of Respiration and Circulation. In this there appears an 
interesting section on “ Glanders in the Human Subject;” and as 
it contains a faithful and succinct account of the morbid changes 
induced in the different tissues affected by this loathsome and fatal 
disease in man, and, by zootomic similarity, in those of the lower 
animals in which it has also been manifested, we deem a full 
abstract of its contents as worthy of being recorded in our pages, 
for the general benefit of the veterinary profession. 
Professor Hasse, in the first place, states, “ that many medical 
men of eminence, more especially the members of the Parisian 
Academy, have questioned the fact of the contagion of glanders 
* These I cured by cold water. 
t Perhaps Mr. Leff — are we correct in the name ? — will at its conclusion 
favour us with the particulars of so interesting a case. — Ed. Vet.
