68 INFLUENZA FOLLOWED BY A PURULENT NASAL GLEET. 
after inserting the tube into the windpipe, he got it out in 
the night, and by the morning the orifice was so much closed 
that I was obliged to cut away the granulating edges before 
it could be replaced. The tube is cleaned once a day, and 
the wound in neck occasionally touched with Sol. Cupr. 
Sulph. I ought to remark that I have had a leather pad 
placed under the shield to keep it from abrading the neck. 
INFLUENZA FOLLOWED BY PURULENT 
NASAL GLEET. 
By the Same. 
A black carriage horse, the property of Mr. C. Parkinson, 
surgeon, Wimborne, was placed under my care on the loth 
cf June last, suffering from influenza. He had a most de- 
jected appearance ; the skin had lost its pliancy, “ sticking 
tight,” as it is said to the ribs ; the bowels were constipated, 
pulse quick and weak, throat sore, with the other symptoms 
of this disease which are usually present. He was treated 
till the 28th, by which time he was sufficiently recovered to 
be dismissed from my care. I left orders, however, for him 
to take Ferri Sulph. 5ij daily. 
On the 1 8th of July I was asked if he might be put to work ; 
but before deciding upon this I called to see him, when I was 
much surprised at finding an unhealthy discharge from the left 
nostril, accompanied with considerable tumefaction of the sub- 
maxillary glands, which were hard and immovable. I w as in- 
clined to consider it a suspicious case of glanders, and stated 
my fears to the owner. The discharge stuck about the opening 
of the nostril, and w^as at times streaked with blood. I ex- 
amined, w T ith Dr. Parkinson, the discharge under a micro- 
scope, and found that it contained numerous pus-globules. 
On the 14th, three pustules were noticed on the septum nasi. 
They were hard to the feel, and I thought they were tubercular; 
however, I persisted in the treatment, and, am glad to say, 
with ultimate success. The horse is now perfectly well, and 
has been so since the end of July, when I last attended him. 
There is not the slightest discharge, and he is in better con- 
dition than he ever was. 
I should remark that the Ferri Sulph. w r as not given as 
1 ordered, and that when I discontinued my treatment in June 
the animal w r as removed from a spacious and airy coach-house
