been left, and is thus earned into the circulation. All 
public stables should have high divisions between the stalls, 
to prevent the muzzles of horses from coming in contact with 
each other, horses being very apt to smell at one another in 
a stable, as it is by this faculty alone they recognise their 
companions. 
From an ill-judged piece of economy, many persons, after 
being aware of a horse being glandered, persist in keeping it 
in the same stable with others. Every hour is risking the 
health of all he possesses. It is the duty of every person, 
so soon as he is certain of his horse having caught this dis¬ 
ease, to destroy it as speedily as possible. For, although a 
glandered horse may be able to work for a considerable 
length of time under the influence of this disorder, he will 
find ultimately that it is a bad piece of economy to keep 
him under such circumstances. 
Many persons who have lost their horses by this disease 
have resorted to extremes to prevent a continuance of it. 
Some have even gone so far as to pull down their stables, 
and others to remove their racks, mangers, and partitions. 
It is quite sufficient if the mangers and other parts which 
the discharge from the nostrils have touched, is well washed 
with a scrubbing brush, with a strong solution of soda and 
water, and afterwards with chloride of lime, the propor¬ 
tion of which should be a pint-and-a-half to a pailful ot 
water. The walls may also be washed with lime and water, 
and all the halters, &c., destroyed, and the iron work 
painted. 
Cure. —We have already said that we have never heard 
of a well-authenticated cure of glanders. Hind says* 
‘‘Glanders have been cured spontaneously on a large scale, 
under our own inspection, solely by regular good living ; a 
fine sea-side country and moderate work being the only
