636 ON THE TREATMENT OF FARCY AND GLANDERS 
and ulcers, 8cc. on various parts of the body, made it as formidable 
a case as I had ever met with. 
However, on the 12th of August, I made up a dozen and a 
half of powders — cupri sulph. cum hyd. potassse — and ordered 
that one should be given every day, and that he should have as 
much clover and vetches as he could eat. 
1 neither saw nor heard any more of my patient until the 4th 
of September, when, to my utter astonishment, I saw the poor 
man # coming into my yard, leading his horse, that was looking 
as well as ever ; the ulcers in the nostrils, the discharge, and 
the buds having quite disappeared. 
If any reader would wish to put any questions to me on the 
above case in The Veterinarian, it would give me great 
pleasure to reply. 
CASE III. 
This was a pony, thirteen hands high, the property of a fish- 
monger in this town, w ; ho stated that he had lost three other 
horses affected precisely in the same way as this. My treat- 
ment was similar to that in the former cases, and in a fortnight 
she w r as, to all appearance, well. How r ever, I ordered her not 
to be w'orked for a week. The man did not attend to my in- 
structions, but took her out, and gave her a day’s work, which 
brought back the disease in a worse form than before. This, of 
course, annoyed me, and the only way I could devise of getting 
my orders strictly attended to, was.giving the medicine myself, 
and charging for every time I gave the balls. I found that this, 
as m many other cases, had immediately the desired effect. 
1 commenced again giving the same medicine, and in three 
weeks the animal was quite restored to health, and has continued 
so ever since. I should add, perhaps, that l touched the buds 
with the actual cautery. 
Glanders on the end of the Cord. 
We not unfrequently meet with a scirrhous enlargement of the 
end of the cord, which, if not speedily removed with the knife, 
will involve the whole of that substance. It would appear to me to 
arise from castration, and particularly if that operation has been 
performed with the cautery. One of the most remarkable phe- 
nomena connected with this enlargement is the slowness of its 
progression. 
I remember having seen Professor Dick remove one of these 
tumours from the cord of a seven-year-old horse that had been 
castrated when four years old, and in the centre we found a scale
