GLANDERS AND FARCY. 457 
ment of glanders, vve shall conclude this paper with a brief sum- 
mary of them. 
Warm turpentine embrocations, turpentine taken internally in 
often-repeated doses, chloride of soda, camphor, kreostote, qui- 
nine, vapour baths, or the inhalation of vapour having the fumes 
of camphor diffused in it, have been severally recommended. In 
France, the veterinary surgeons have found much benefit from 
purgatives administered in repeated doses, and the acetate of am- 
monia ; also from the use of mercurial frictions. 
The veterinary surgeon of the 13th dragoons treated this dis- 
ease in a horse by putting a quantity of scalded bran mixed with 
Venice turpentine into a horse-hair bag, and tying it over the 
animal’s head, the whole body of the animal being wrapped at the 
same time in a large blanket wrung out of scalding water, and 
covered with several horse-cloths. This treatment procured a 
profuse sweat and free discharge from the frontal sinuses and 
nostrils, and promoted the healing of the ulcerations. 
Of all the preparations abovementioned, none has obtained 
more notoriety than the kreostote. Dr. Elliotson, who first re- 
commended it, considers it as almost a specific for glanders. He 
states that, with a sedulous injection of kreostote in solution up 
the nostrils, he removed the whole of the symptoms of a case of 
chronic glanders in a very few weeks. 
A singular case, corroborative of the foregoing opinions, is re- 
lated by Mr. Ions, veterinary surgeon at Waterford. 
“ On the 15th of last month,” says Mr. Ions, “ my son was 
attacked with a severe cold, which continued bad for some days, 
although all the usual means were adopted. At length the cold got 
better, but the tonsils remained very much inflamed and enlarged, 
and there was a small sore in the ala of the right nostril. On the 
20th, he had occasion to examine a brewery horse, belonging to 
Mr. Cherry, of this city, that was labouring under acute glanders. 
The horse snorted in his face, and covered it with nasal discharge. 
My son wiped it off with his handkerchief, and thought no more 
about the matter. On the 22d, the swelling of the tonsils 
continuing, a blister was applied to the throat. The result 
was somewhat extraordinary, for, instead of a serous discharge, 
an abundance of well-formed purulent matter exuded. On the 
24th, he felt very unwell ; his nose was exceedingly sore, the 
breathing through it quite obstructed, and the right eye slightly 
affected ; the pulse was 110, with a profuse discharge of a ropy 
glairy appearance. A physician was immediately sent for, 
who ordered aperient medicines and the local application of a 
solution of the nitrate of silver. On calling the next day, he 
found a large ulcer on the lining membrane of the nose, which
