GLANDERS. 
appears to alarm the owner; but seldom any bad consequences 
ensue. 
The first step is to remove the ram from the ewes, and apply 
either a mild solution of sulphate of zinc, or the compound tincture 
of myrrh. It will be necessary to keep the ram away for about 
seven or ten days: if he is worked before that period, a secondary 
bleeding will ensue. 
I have made careful inspection, yet never could discover a single 
rupture of a vein, but always an abrasion of the parts. 
GLANDERS. 
The present number contains much interesting matter respect¬ 
ing glanders. The following little history may, therefore, not be 
quite unuseful. 
A gentleman passing through Smithfield Market on Friday 
the 23d inst. observed a man running a very good-looking bay 
mare up and down the market. It struck nim that the mare 
would answer his purpose, and he asked the price, and was told ;

fifteen sovereigns for her, and not a farthing less, and that he 
would warrant her sound in wind and limb, and in every respect. !

name to be Brown; to which they applied in the affirmative, and 
that he was a perfectly safe man to deal with. The bargain was 
then concluded, and the fifteen pounds paid. A man to lead the 
horse was easily procured, and he departed with his bargain. 
He had, however, scarcely got so far as Snow-hill, when he was 
surrounded by a crowd of fellows, who told him that he had bought 
a glandered mare, and offered to rid him of his bargain for a 
certain sum : he, however, would have nothing to do with them, 
but took the mare home, and, sending for his veterinary surgeon, 
found that he had indeed purchased a glandered animal, and that 
there was no help for it. Some ill-looking fellows afterwards 
came to his yard, and offered to purchase the mare, and he.
