EXPERIMENTS WITH BARYTES ON GLANDERS. 
CASE IV. 
July, 1816. — Brown gelding, nine years old, in good con- 
ition : a profuse muco-purulent discharge from the off-nostril, 
nd an enlargement on the same side of the gland, which was 
listered. Mur. baryt. 3fs, mane nocteque for five days. Dis- 
harged cured. 
CASE V. 
August, 1816.—Brown gelding, six years old, in good con- 
ition: a copious flow of pus adhering about the nostril from 
he near side ; ulceration, of a very foul kind, upon the mem- 
rane ; tumefied gland. Mur. baryt. 3j, increased to 3ij ? m. n., 
)r twenty-two days. Destroyed.—On the day of his death the 
leers were nearly healed, the discharge had much diminished, 
nd the glands had become soft and loose. 
CASE VI. 
June, 1817.—A brown mare, seven years old, in fair con- 
ition: flux from both nostrils; one ulcer apparent in the off 
nd two in the near nostril. Mur. baryt. 3 j, ad 3ifs, m. n., for 
ixty-eight days. Discharged, cured. 
Re-admitted in September, 1817, with muco-purulent running 
;om both nostrils, and tumefied glands, but no ulceration. Mur. 
>aryt. 3j, ad5iij, for twenty-five days. Discharged again, and 
e-admitted in October, 1817, for farcy in the off-hind leg. Mur. 
>aryt. repet. for seven days. Discharged, cured, for sale. 
CASE VII. 
A bay mare, in bad condition, and apparently debilitated 
rom disease: farcy both hind legs; ulceration in both nostrils, 
rom which issued a viscous yellow pus ; tumefied glands; the 
idder also swollen and extremely hard. Solut. # muriat. baryt. 
:ifs, ad 3ij, f° r twenty-four days. Died from the poisonous 
•fleets of the medicine. There was evident amendment before 
leath. Both frontal sinuses contained pus, and the septum and 
>ssa turbinata were worm-eaten by ulceration ; the vascular coat 
»f the stomach reddened ; all other viscera healthy. 
CASE VIII. 
July , 1818.—A white gelding, about twenty-five years old,
