SUSPECTED CASES OF GLANDERS. 
By Mr. Cartwright, of Whitchurch. 
CASE I. 
An old cart-horse of Mr. John Roberts's died on Monday, 
May 17,1830. About three weeks or a month before he died, 
a slight running commenced from his nostrils. He had no cough, 
and his coat appeared rather unthrifty. In a week afterwards he 
was turned out to grass. The weather was rather w et, and the 
running from his nostrils became much worse, and offensive ; and 
the membrane was excessively ulcerated, and his respiration as 
bad as that of a broken-w inded horse. The submaxillary glands 
w ere very little enlarged. Appetite pretty good. During the last 
w eek of his existence he was kept in the stable. The owner had 
bled him about three days before he died, and had given him 
several drinks made of ale and warm seeds. 
Examination .—Every part of the nostrils was eroded with 
ulcerations, and smelled offensively. The frontal sinuses were 
tilled w ith matter similar to very thick cream, but without smell. 
The trachea was sound. The lungs , on their surface, were very 
lumpy; and on cutting into them they were nearly filled with 
tubercles approaching to abscesses, being filled with a yellowish 
substance of a cheesy nature. Wherever the lungs were cut the 
surface was spotted over with them, and three or four were 
found in the space of an inch. 
CASE II. 
While I was examining the foregoing horse, an old horse, the 
property of Mr. Huxley, of Dearnford Hall, was brought to I he 
tan yard to be killed, having’ every symptom similar to the other.
