of a sudden (to use his own words) opened his mouth wider than 
lie had ever seen a horse in his life : still considerable stiffness 
appears about his whole frame.

discontinued any medical treatment, gave him his full allovvance 
of corn, and exercised hnn twice a-day: this continued until the 
6th of June, when I discharged the horse cured. 
CASES OF THE CURE OF GLANDERS BY FUMIGA¬ 
TION WITH CARBONIC ACID GAS.

7ij/ Mr. Storry, V.S., Pickering. 
When I sent the cure of glanders in Mr. Smith’s mare, I did 
intend soon afterwards to have transmitted for insertion in The 
Veterinarian some other cures of the same disease by the 
process of fumigation, 8cc.; but I have not found a conveni¬ 
ent opportunity since. In The Veterinarian for January 
is a communication from Mr. W. C. Spooner, in which he makes 
some pertinent and judicious remarks on glanders generally, and 
on the particular case furnished by me for your number for April 
in the last year. For his satisfaction I beg to state that the farcy 
lgcr was cured by using a solution oi corrosive sublimate exter¬ 
nally, and repeating the ball (mentioned in the treatment of the 
case) once a week for three weeks. Mr. Spooner asks, (6 has 
Mr. Storry never met with any cases during this long period on 
which he could put in practice his fumigating plan ! and, if so, 
have they been attended with success V’ To both these ques¬ 
tions I answer—yes, and proceed to narrate the following cases i 
On the 25th of February 1832,1 attended a mare, seven years 
old, belonging to Mr. Win. Grayson, jun. of this place. I found 
the sub maxillary gland on the left side enlarged to the size of a 
walnut, and adhering to the jaw. The discharge was from the 
nostril on the left side only, and which was greenish, very 
tough, viscid, and fetid, with mucous spots appearing very strong 
upon the septum ; she was also in such a state of mange, or 
scab, as we seldom witness. She had been attended for a con¬ 
siderable time by “ a son of Vulcan.” I gave purges of aloes and 
calomel, inserted a rowel near the tumefaction of the submaxil¬ 
lary, and fumigated once a-day, for a week, with the carbonic acict 
gas, and the disorder appeared to get worse. The discharge 
was changed to yellow, and streaked with blood, and more fetid 
and offensive than ever; so much so, that the groom begged that 
I would give up the attempt to cure her, and let her be “ put
