I should not have troubled you at this length, but I thought 
that you had been imposed upon, and your Journal made the me- 
dium of a cruel attack on one of the veterans of our noble art.

ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA 
TO CASES IN THE LAST NUMBER OF ^ THE VETERINARIAN.” 
By Mr. W. C. Lord,F.*$., Parsonstown. 
Although it was within half an hour of the post leaving for 
London on the 13th of last month when I was writing those 
cases that have appeared in The Veterinarian, and I knew 
they should be there on the 15th, consequently had not time to 
look them over when they were written, yet I think I could not 
have made such a mistake as to write “ glanders” instead of 
“ tumours” on the end of the cord, or what the French term 
champignon, a disease which has scarcely at all been noticed by 
any of our English veterinary authors, with the exception of Mr. 
Percivall, who gives a minute detail of it in his “ Hippopatho- 
logy.” It is very strange that the English have so long omitted 
entering fully into the nature and treatment of this disease, as it 
is not by any means uncommon, at least in this part of the globe. 
I have now another very bad case of it in my infirmary, which I 
am trying to remove by sloughing ; but if I do not soon see de- 
cided amendment, I am determined to remove it with the knife, 
as the last case succeeded so admirably. 
[I do very much regret that the stupid blunder to which Mr. 
Lord refers should have occurred. If at some future period I 
should have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lord, I may probably 
shew him the strange similarity between the two words as 
written by him and misinterpreted by me, and at which we 
may have a laugh together ; yet that would be no excuse for a 
degree of carelessness, on my part, which ought not to have 
existed. — Y.]
