ON THE CURE OF GLANDERS IN THE HORSE. 145 
when he was sold for £37.. 5s. About ten days after commencing 
treatment of the above case, the same gentleman wished me to ex- 
amine another of his horses that, he said, was going the same way. 
This constitutes — 
Case II. 
A bay gelding, nine or ten years old, exhibiting every symptom 
of the disease. The Schneiderian membrane extensively ulcerated, 
but the discharge was scanty, which probably accounted for its not 
being observed earlier in this case. The near nostril was the 
affected one. In endeavouring to ascertain the cause of this dis- 
ease, I had reason to conclude that this animal became affected 
by standing near the abovementioned case, prior to my attention 
being directed towards him ; since, after that, I exercised every 
precaution to arrest the progress of the disease, the owner pos- 
sessing a great number of horses, and having been in business for 
many years, and never before having seen the disease among his 
stud. A similar plan of treatment to that adopted in Case No. 1 
was had recourse to, and was followed by a similar result. After 
six or seven weeks’ run at grass, he resumed his work, at which 
he is continually performing, as sound as ever. In this case, I 
should mention, there is a slight mark left upon the cartilage of 
the nostril (septum narium), the result of ulceration. 
Case III. 
A black gelding, five years old, belonging to Mrs. T . 
My attention was directed to him on November 9th, 1847, when 
I found the existence of the disease in a virulent form, the off 
nostril being in this case the affected one. Upon my reporting the 
nature of the case to the owner, she thought it advisable to have 
him destroyed, as she informed me she had had several similarly 
affected on previous occasions, but always had them destroyed. 
From the age and constitution being favourable, I advised her to 
have him placed under treatment ; thereupon a convenient place 
was selected, and a similar mode of treatment adopted to that re- 
commended in the above cases. In the course of a few days the 
symptoms became aggravated, and farcy shewed itself on the off side 
of the face to that degree that the eye became nearly closed, and the 
ala so swollen that it could not be inverted sufficiently to view the 
membrane. A chain of ulcers shew themselves from the lips 
across the face. The ointment of the biniodide of mercury was 
freely applied, and the parts soon after put on a more healthy 
appearance. At this stage of the disease no medicine was admi- 
nistered by the hand. He took, twice a-day, 31 J of the sulph.
