A CASE OF NASAL GLEET SIMULATING 
GLANDERS. 
By J. Tombs, M.R.C.V.S., Stratford-on-Avon. 
May 9th. — A brown cart-gelding, 6 years old, was brought 
under my notice in consequence of a discharge from the 
right nostril, which was viscid, and adhered to the nasal 
opening. On examination I detected, about three inches 
from the external opening, an ulcer as large as a sixpence, 
situated on the septum nasi . The right submaxillary lym- 
phatic gland was also considerably enlarged. The animal 
had an unthrifty appearance, but his appetite was good, and 
neither his pulse nor breathing were affected. A seton was 
inserted over the central portion of the gland, and daily 
dressed with Ung. Iodin. The surrounding skin also was 
kept well smeared with the same ointment. Diluted creasote 
was injected up the nostril, and stimulating medicinal agents 
with cantharides, as recommended by Mr. Vines, were freely 
exhibited. In a month the discharge had considerably les- 
sened, and the ulcer had begun to heal. The swelling of the£ 
gland had likewise subsided. From this time the dose o 
cantharides was increased from tive to ten grains twice a day* 
and continued until the beginning of August, by which time 
the ulcer had cicatrized, and the gland assumed its normal 
size ; the discharge also had ceased. The animal being 
cured, he was soon put to work, which he performed well, and 
without there being any return of the affection.
