CURSORY REMARKS ON 
this disease in the horse by putting a quantity of scalded 
bran, mixed with Venice turpentine, in a horse-hair bag, and 
tying it over the horse’s head ; the whole body of the animal being 
wrapped at the same time in a large blanket wrung out of boil* 
ing water, and covered with several horse-cloths. This treat- 
ment procured a profuse sweat, and a free discharge from the 
frontal sinuses and nostrils, and promoted the healing of the 
ulcerations. Dr. Elliotson also states, in his last paper on this 
disease, that the sedulous injection of a solution of kreostote up 
the nostrils removed the whole of the symptoms in a case of 
chronic glanders in the human subject, after a very few weeks. — 
Mr. Storry (Veterinarian, vol. vii, p.145) adduces cases in 
which fumigation with carbonic acid gas appeared beneficial in 
glanders occurring in the horse ; but other means, as calomel, 
aloes, &,c., were also employed. 
17. In the chronic as well as the acute states of the malady, 
tonics or stimulants conjoined with purgatives , particularly cin- 
chona, or the sulphate of quinine, capsicum, and camphor, with 
aloes, &c. ; antiseptics , as the chlorides, hydrochloric acid, or 
chloric ether, kreostote and pyroligneous acid ; warm alterative 
diaphoretics , especially guaiacum, mezereon, senega, sassafras, 
sarsaparilla, variously combined ; the terebinthinates, balsams, 
&c., and fumigating or medicated warm baths ; may severally be 
prescribed, and varied, appropriately to the characters of the 
case. The excessive thirst always attending the disease will be 
most beneficially quenched by a liberal use of soda water, spruce 
or ginger beer, Seltzer water, &c., which may be rendered still 
more cooling by the addition of small quantities of nitre, or the 
subcarbonates of the alkalies ; or they may be made the vehicles 
of several internal medicines.

CURSORY REMARKS ON VARIOUS ARTICLES IN 
“ THE VETERINARIAN.” 
Bp Nimrod. 
As you, my dear sir, are of opinion that the result of my 
practical experience of horses, and consequently of many of their 
ailments, may be worthy of the notice of the veterinary profes- 
sion, I will, from time to time, offer a few remarks on some of 
the subjects which occupy the pages of The Veterinarian, 
commencing with those of the last six numbers. Your readers
