IG GLANDERS. 
Three of the horses iu the same stable with tlic mare, with 
whom the foal was iu constant intercourse, sunk under the 
axe. I made use of an enormous quantity of matter about the 
foal w^hich iu them was the occasion of death.—Sept. 15th. 
Of late the disease in the mare has seemed stationary as it 
were: the nasal partition is at present nearly perforated; the 
discharge has a pestilential fetor ; the gland is about the size 
of a small hen’s egg, very tender and firmly adherent.—24th. 
I repeated the introduction of matter into the nose of the foal, 
taken from a troop horse going to be destroyed; but ineffec¬ 
tually.—The regiment being under orders to move, Eleonora 
and six other glandered horses in the same stable were killed 
on the 3rd of October. I regret much that the distance of the 
place destined for her destruction, and luy occupations the 
day before our march, deprived me of the satisfaction of in¬ 
specting the body of Eleonora, in whom the disease had doubt¬ 
lessly made great ravages. 
I shall not indulge in any reflections on the result of this ex¬ 
periment; I merely invite m.y professional brethren to repeat it 
whenever an opportunity may offer ; and shall confine myself 
to remark, that, notwithstanding the foal was submitted long 
and often enough to the infecting agents, it throve in a surpris¬ 
ing degree in the very midst of their influence. Many persons 
became its admirers and wished to have it: I sold it to a re¬ 
spectable individual who made me a promise that he w^ould 
retain it in his service and closely watch it. Journal Pratique

The two foregoing practical observations on a disease which 
has in every age perplexed the mind and baffled the art of the 
Veterinarian, circumstantial and minute, and accurately re¬ 
ported as they appear to be, we cannot pass over without throw¬ 
ing out a conjecture or two by way of solution of the apparent 
incongruity of them with the doctrines of our school, and even, 
according to these doctrines, irreconcileableness with each 
'other. To proceed upon sure grounds, w’^e do not anticipate any 
hesitation to the concession, that the disease under which the 
mare and her own foal laboured was the glanders; neither do 
we imagine that it will excite any surprise that the foal should
