146 EFFECTS OF CHLOROFORM ON THE HORSE. 
ferri, finely pulverized in his mashes, corn, & c. ; sometimes dis- 
solved in his water. As soon as the swelling of the ala had 
abated, I discovered the membrane extensively ulcerated. I 
applied to the ulcers the nitrate of silver, and gave the powders 
three times a-day. Shortly afterwards I perceived a gradual im- 
provement in my patient. About this time, happening to be in 
conversation with Mr. Mayhew, I alluded to this case, when he 
expressed a wish to see it. The following morning he accom- 
panied me to it, and fully agreed in considering it a virulent case 
of acute glanders. Treatment was continued until Dec. 14th, five 
weeks from the commencement. Another week was allowed, and 
he was put to work, and is working at the present day without 
shewing any disposition to relapse. He was an animal that fed 
remarkably well throughout the whole of the treatment, and got, 
indeed, fat. I had an opportunity of seeing him this day, as fat 
and as well as ever. 
Case IV. 
A bay gelding, seven years old, belonging to Mr. H., of Ham- 
mersmith. On Sept. 23d, 1847, Mr. Woodger was consulted 
respecting him, when he found the symptoms present very nearly 
the same as in Case III. In this instance the off nostril was the 
diseased one, and likewise farcy had shewn itself on the same side 
of the face, to a similar degree as in the case abovementioned. I do 
not think it necessary to detail the treatment or symptoms, as they 
were so precisely analogous. I had not the same opportunity of 
watching this case I had the others ; but it was constantly attended 
by Mr. Woodger, and suffice it to say that the treatment differed 
in no material degree from that in the above cases, and that, on 
Oct. 26th, he was given up, cured, and has been at work ever 
since. I could narrate numerous other cases of this disease, fol- 
lowed by the same result. I will not, however, at present, intrude 
further upon the pages of your valuable Journal, but remain 
Yours obediently, &c.

My dear Sir, — WHEN I was at the meeting of the Council of
