A horse, given up for the purpose of experiment, condemned on 
account of glanders. In tolerably good condition. Good appetite. The 
respiratory organs recognised as being healthy by all the different 
modes of exploration. Eight respirations a minute, and 29 pulsa- 
tions of the glosso-facial artery. 
On the 30th of November the animal was dieted, and put on 
white regimen. On the 1st of December, 10 grammes of emetic 
tartar were administered at fifty-two minutes past nine o’clock. 
Twenty-five minutes afterwards no change had taken place in the 
8 respirations and 29 pulsations. 
At five minutes to eleven o’clock, that is to say, three hours after 
the administration of the medicine, the respirations were 7, and the 
pulsations 27. 
At half-past eleven, — 5 respirations and 26 pulsations. 
At half-past twelve, — 5 respirations and 23 pulsations.
