not abated his zeal. He acknowledged in his first work that he 
regarded this disease as incurable, even in its earliest stage, and 
yet he shrinks not from renewed experiments. All praise to his 
indefatigable perseverance ! May he at length be as successful 
as he deserves to be !

One of the horses under the care of M. Maculet died on the 
1st of March, 1836, two months after the commencement of the 
treatment. 
The following were the post-mortem appearances : — The pi- 
tuitary membrane of the right nasal cavity was of a dull red 
colour, inclining to yellow, and covered on the septum by a great 
number of ulcers, some of them as large as a franc piece. They 
were of a bright colour, but contained at their base matter re- 
sembling softened fibrine, and they followed the course of the 
lymphatics and the veins. The mucous membrane covering the 
turbinated bones was also thickened, white, and equally tra- 
versed by ulcers. The membrane which lined the frontal si- 
nuses was lightly injected, and the cavities themselves were 
filled with pus, white and coagulated. This was mostly evident 
on the left side. The sublingual lymphatic ganglions on the 
same side were also enlarged and adherent, and contained a 
certain portion of purulent matter. The lungs were sound, ex- 
cept that here and there were some ecchymoses on both lobes, 
and small fibrinous depositions, varying from the size of a pin’s 
head to that of a pea. 
On the 28th of March, M. Maculet discontinued his experi- 
ments at Alfort, but he obtained from the Minister of War four 
other glandered horses to be treated by him at the Quai d’Orsay 
in Paris. As for the two horses that survived his treatment, and 
were left by him at Alfort, they are much worse than when he 
received them. They were slightly glandered when they entered 
the school, and now they both have deep chancres, and are 
affected with farcy.

Jug. 28th, 1832. — I was requested to visit four young bulls 
that lay paralyzed in one of the fields. Three of them had lost
