GLANDERS. 
A Case in which the Foal of a Glandered Mare died M the Disease 
Sixteen Days after Birth, By M. Legard, Senior Veteri¬ 
nary Surgeon of the lOth Regiment of Chasseurs, 
f _ 
ON the 10th of February, 1826, Eleonora, a mare eight years 
old, was separated from the other regimental horses for showing 
unequivocal symptoms of glanders. (A discharge of greyish 
matter from the left nostril, sticking about the orifice ; gland as 
large as a pigeon’s egg, tender and loosely attached to the side of 
the jaw; correspondent mucous membrane inflamed.) These 
symptoms remained stationary until the 5th of March following, 
when she brought forth a foal perfectly free from any morbid 
appearance. From this period the symptoms became daily more 
alarming: the discharge more profuse, assuming a greenish hue, 
and fouling more the wings of the nostril; the gland more sen¬ 
sitive ; a slight weeping from the eye of the same side; puffi¬ 
ness and tenderness over the correspondent part of the superior 
maxilla.—On the 10th, some small white tubercles made their 
appearance upon the mucous lining of the left nostril.—12th. 
Tubercles increased in magnitude and number. The right max¬ 
illary gland of the foal swollen to the size of a nut without ten¬ 
derness or adherence, on which side defluxion has commenced; a 
tubercle is visible upon the inferior part of the same nostril; and 
small farcy buds are observable along the course of the right 
jugular.—13th. The tubercles in the mare have enlarged; they 
seem to coalesce ; the discharge is profuse in the extreme, and 
still more viscous. The foal discharges from both nostrils, but 
particularly from the right; the flux is tenacious; the tubercle 
has grown larger.—14th. In the mare, some of the tubercles 
have suppurated. In the foal fresh tuberculous concretions are 
developed in the lower part of the nostrils.—15th. There is no 
distracting the wings of the nostrils without causing a dropping 
of blood from the membrane. The first perceived tubercle of the 
foal has suppurated: those discovered yesterday are softened.— 
16th. Small ulcerations visible upon the internal wing of the 
left nostril of the mare. The ulcera4;ion arising from the sup¬ 
purated tubercle in the foal, spreading.— 17th. The tuber¬ 
cles last discovered in the foal have become abscesses; re¬ 
spiration is veiy difficult; several farcy buds upon the upper 
lip and upon the croup, particularly on the right side.—18th. 
An infinity of little tubercles have made their appearance
