GLANDERS.

first covered with mucus from the nose of the mare before his be 
sponged.—April 5th. Tumefaction of the vulva of the mare and 
parts contiguous to the anus, from farcy.—8th. Farcy buds upon 
the tumefied parts, and upon the mucous lining of the vagina. 
— 12th. Ulcerations in the vaginal membrane; accompanied 
with fetid and ichorous discharge from the vulva.—From the 
18th to the 26th. The farcied parts have become indolent. 
(All that has been done amounts but to cleanliness.) The foal 
thrives surprisingly.—27th. The mare has declined much in 
condition. On this day, from a horse belonging to the 3d 
squadron {capricornus) about to be destroyed for glanders, which 
had eroded the septum nasi and w^as now tending towards suf¬ 
focation, I took a considerable quantity of glandered virus which 
I insinuated with my fore finger into the nostrils of the foal.— 
May 10th. Nothing particular has occurred in the interval. The 
mare has been attacked with a hemorrhage from the superior 
part of the left nostril: she declines rapidly. The health of the 
foal increases with his age.—^17th. The stable occupied by 
Eleonora and her foal being about to be pulled down, they were 
removed into the corner of another little stable, in which were 
six other horses considered glandered, notwithstanding they 
showed no perceptible ulceration. The same as these horses, she 
was, from this time, placed on green diet.—The foal, though 
he ran about from one to the other of these diseased animals, and 
was constantly besmeared with matter, showed nothing particular 
until the 23rd.—24th. The right submaxillary gland of the foal 
is triflingly swollen ; it is about the volume of a nut, rolls under 
the fingers, and is free from tenderness.—25th. Slight aug¬ 
mentation of the gland.—27th, 28th, and 29th. Sensible dimi¬ 
nution of it.—30th. Totally imperceptible. I attributed this 
swelling to the use of green-meat, to which the foal betook him¬ 
self with avidity when he had forsaken the teat of his step¬ 
mother.—June 1st. I introduced into the nostrils of the little 
animal some mucus I had just extracted from those of one of 
the horses in the same stable, and who was doonied to destruc¬ 
tion on account of glanders.—10th. Vegetation being too far 
advanced to longer furnish green food, the regimen was chang¬ 
ed to dry without any notable effect.—The 15th. The horse of 
an officer, (le Furibond) having acute glanders and farcy, being 
about to be sacrificed, afforded me another opportunity of again 
smearing the interior of the nose of my foal; but without effect. 
—21‘st. The Inspector-General, Count de Lauriston, in his re¬ 
view of the regiment, seeing the condition of Eleonora, ordered 
her to be instantly put to death ; but the order was suspended 
as soon as he was apprized of the experiment in progress.
