ON GLANDERS. 
In half an hour, all these abnormal phenomena began to disap- 
pear; and, in the course of the day, every function seemed to 
be perfectly re-established, and she took, with appetite, her usual 
food . 
22 d . — She is in good spirits, and feeds well. 
23 d . — The conjunctival and pituitary membranes are yellow, 
with a livid tinge of the colour of saffron. The eyes were infil- 
trated with a limpid serosity, which ran down the cheek every 
time she closed them. The pulse was hard, but not quickened. 
An abundant serous diarrhoea had commenced. The appetite 
was good. 
24 th . — The saffron tint remains — the mare is a little out of 
spirits, and disinclined to move — she is less irritable than usual 
— her appetite is a little diminished — her lips and nostrils are hot 
— the expired air likewise communicates a feeling of heat — a 
fluid is discharged from the nostrils a little yellow, but not ad- 
hering to the sides of the nose. The right leg, the seat of frac- 
ture, is much swelled. 
25 th, 2 6th. — All the symptoms are aggravated. The fever is 
more intense, and the pulse concentrated and quick. The strong 
beatings of the heart can be seen. The colour of the conjunctiva 
is yellow, and the eyelids are becoming sore. The discharge 
increases. 
27th . — The teats are swelled and the vulva is infiltrated with a 
serous fluid. The hind-legs, and especially the right leg, are 
oedematous. The mare has lost all her spirits — the eye is half 
covered by the upper lid — its mucous coat is saffron-coloured, 
spotted with red — the expired air is hot — the lips are burning — 
the mouth dry — the pulse small, quick, and concentrated — the 
beatings of the heart tumultuous — the discharge from both nos- 
trils abundant, flocculent, and of a citrine colour. 
28th . — The swelling of the udder has increased, and has 
reached the abdomen. Farcy pustules are developed on the outer 
side of the right thigh. The discharge from the nostrils is much 
greater than yesterday ; it is glairy, adhesive, and of a charac- 
teristic saffron colour. The nasal membrane is infiltrated and 
marked with spots of a deep red, yet tinged with saffron. On 
the left side of the septum is a lenticular pustule, white at its 
summit, and surrounded by a red areola; the sub-maxillary 
glands are enlarged and tender; the animal is completely dis- 
pirited, and the general febrile symptoms continue. 
29 th . — Other pustules have risen on the nasal membrane in 
both the cavities ; some of them are whole, and have the cha- 
racter of those which we have just described ; others have smaller 
ulcers at the base of the larger one. The edges are prominent,
