THE USE OF CAMPHOR IN GLANDERS. 
By Mr. W. Garland, of Doncaster. 
A GLANDERED hoFse, seven years old, in good condition, 
belonging to Mr. Marsh, of Deneby, was admitted into my 
infirmary on the 12th of April. 
Symptoms .—Offensive discharge from the near nostril in 
large quantities, and very thick. The Schneiderian membrane 
slightly ulcerated and much discoloured. The' sub-maxillary 
gland swollen. 
From the many successful cases of chronic cough, with dis¬ 
charge from the nostrils, which I have treated with camphor, I 
was induced to try it in glanders. I gave it in doses of one 
ounce every day, until the 18th, w^hen the discharge entirely 
ceased. I syringed the nostril with a strong solution of alum 
every day, which had a good effect on the ulcerated part of the 
membrane, and caused the horse to blow out much of the 
mucus. I fed him on Swedish turnips and hay, with half a 
peck of oats per day; but he became so rapidly emaciated, 
that I was compelled to change the medicine. I then gave him 
two drachms of sulphate of copper eveiy day (the same diet) 
until the 11th of May, when he was discharged, perfectly cured. 
He has been working since that time, and continues to do well. 
Two horses had been destroyed for glanders out of the same 
stable a little time before. 
PARALYSIS IN LAMBS.

THREE lambs, the property of R. Grayham, Esq. Bridge Hall, 
Doncaster, were dropped on the 23rd of March, wthout any 
assistance. In each there was a complete loss of motion on 
the left side. They lay quietly on the affected side, but wdien 
lifted up and thrown on the opposite side their struggles were 
incessant. I recommended that they should be bathed in warm 
w^ater for a quarter of an hour every day. This was of con-
