THE TREATMENT OF GLANDERS. 
the possible cure of glanders. We give, in a very few words, the 
result of them. 
The application of the cautery, whether over the nasal cavities 
or on the parietes of the chest, or deep into the submaxillary 
lymphatic glands, appears to have little or no effect. 
Stimulants well rubbed into these glands, consisting of turpen- 
tine and corrosive sublimate, are equally inefficacious. 
Bleedings, and more particularly local ones, practised on the 
venous sinuses of the pituitary membrane on the affected side, 
do not often cause a complete and permanent disappearance of 
the nasal flux, and the inflammation, whether acute and recent 
or chronic which it produces ; but they at least retard, incontesta- 
bly, the progress of the disease, and suspend for a while its effects, 
and cause for a certain time the disappearance of the principal 
symptoms, and in some instances they have procured a complete 
and lasting cure. Generally speaking, they have been more 
successful than any other means that have been tried. 
Frictions with. a solution of corrosive sublimate on the gums, 
and on the inner membrane of the lips, have procured an entire 
absorption of the enlarged lymphatic glands that have remained 
after the bleedings have arrested the nasal discharge, and have 
dried up the chancres on the pituitary membrane. 
In none of the horses on whom these repeated bleedings 
were effected, did they seem to be altogether useless ; for they 
always moderated, at least for a while, the worst symptoms of 
glanders. 
Two horses out of seven having been cured by these bleed- 
ings and applications to the gums, together with the exhi- 
bition of calomel and mineral acids and a restricted diet, 
there is decided encouragement to pursue these and similar 
experiments. 
Cure of Glanders by spontaneous nasal Hemorrhage. 
By Professor Rodet, of Toulouse. 
A mare four years old was brought to the infirmary, on the 
22d of May, 1822, with strangles. She was weak and very much 
out of condition. She was treated as the case seemed to require ; 
but in spite of all the care that was bestowed upon her, although 
the swelling of strangles disappeared, she evidently became worse. 
There was considerable discharge from the right nostril, and the 
glands beneath the jaw were enlarged on that side. These 
glands, not being disposed either to suppurate or disperse, they 
were deeply fired, and she was sent to grass.
