ON GLANDERS IN MAN, &C. 
enlargement not existed at all, but we have often met with sy¬ 
philitic ozena, accompanied by ulcerations of the throat. Among 
scrofulous persons these enlargements are even so frequent, that 
they constitute one of the most ordinary exterior characteristics of 
the disease. Enlargement of the submaxillary glands, acute or 
chronic, in the human being, are also indicative of various diseases 
connected with the lower jaw, inflammation of the portion of skin 
covered with hair, and ulceration of the mouth or larynx, &c. In 
flue, enlargement of the submaxillary glands, a symptom of great 
value, and constant in chronic glanders in the horse, is often want¬ 
ing in chronic glanders in the human being, and is frequently found 
in other cases of chronic ulceration—not glanderous—of the nasal 
fossa and of the throat. 
We have seen in man, as well as in the horse, the chancerous 
eruption in the larynx ; but it appears to be more frequent in the 
human being, if we may judge from what we have observed. 
As to the lobular pneumonia which one of us (M. Rayer) stated 
as one of the lesions of acute farcy-glanders—the union of farcy and 
glanders—in the human being, its existence as an element of 
acute farcy-glanders in the horse, after having been strongly 
contested by many veterinarians, has been at length recognized in 
so many instances, that there can no longer be any doubt with re* 
gard to it. Under this relation the analogy between man and the 
solipede is complete. 
As to the lesions of the integument in acute glanders, if we 
compare the cases which have been observed in the human being 
with those that are generally found in the horse, we are struck 
with their considerable apparent difference. Almost all the cases 
of acute mange,—with the exception of those which have been 
related by M. Marchand, of Charenton—have been those of acute 
farcy-glanders; that is to sajq in which a glanderous eruption 
has been developed, not only in the nostrils and the respiratory 
passages, but also on the skin, with farcy abscesses in the sub¬ 
cutaneous cellular tissue. The appearance, however, of buttons 
on the skin, and of abscesses in the sub-cutaneous, and inter¬ 
muscular structure, has been observed in the horse; but the pro¬ 
portion has not been so considerable as in the human being. There 
has also been this remarkable fact, that in man the eruption shews 
itself, somewhat indistinctly, on every part of the surface of the 
body, but most particularly on the face; but in the horse the erup^ 
tion ordinarily appears most on the parts which are deprived of 
hair, as on the scrotum and around the mouth*. Other regions
