ON GLANDERS. 
offbut I persisted in the plan of fumigation, and had re¬ 
course to other means which I considered requisite as the case 
went on, both for the scab and glanders, for about six weeks, and 
they both gradually gave way to the power of the medicine used, 
and finally a perfect cure was effected. The mare soon exceed¬ 
ed her former strength and condition by being turned out to grass 
about two months, and was sold to a horsedealer in this town 
for £30, being more than she was ever worth before. 
I have also cured three other cases of glanders, which I think 
it not necessary to enter into a full detail of, further than to state 
the owners’ names and residence, viz., Mr. Robt. Heddon, Mr. 
Thos. Heddon, and Mr. Matthew Monkman, all residing at 
Pickering, and all of which, I scruple not to say, have been per¬ 
fectly cured by fumigation and proper treatment in other respects. 
I must, however, press upon the attention of the practitioner, in 
these malignant cases, that strict attention is necessary with re¬ 
gard to the progress and operation of the means used and their 
effects on the disease; and that the medicine should be propor¬ 
tioned according to the circumstances of the case. It is out of 
my province to enter into any learned and elaborate discussion of 
the various opinions that have been propagated respecting this 
disease; I have only read them with a view to ulterior useful¬ 
ness, and to enable myself thereby to prescribe, if possible, a re¬ 
medy, and further to impart a knowledge of the result of my ex¬ 
periments to the profession generally, of which I am proud to be 
called one of its humblest members. 
A CASE OF DETERMINATION OF BLOOD TO THE 
HEAD. 
By Mr. Tait, V. S., Portsoy , N. B. 
August 18M, 1833.— This day I was sent for by Hans G. 
Leslie, Esq., of Denlugas, to see a very fine calf, which had 
been observed to be unwell on the day before, as he did not 
follow the others, and lay down more than usual. After he was 
taken home, and previous to my seeing him, he was bled to the 
amount of nearly two quarts, and had some laxative medicine 
given to him, which had operated, but seemed not to have pro¬ 
duced any beneficial effect, and the overseer remarked that he 
was much worse, and appeared to be dying. 
When I arrived, he was lying with his head doubled to his 
elbow, grinding his teeth, and frothy saliva flowing from his 
mouth ; the extremities cold, the pulse about 80, and the respi-
