or rye flour to form a somewhat thick paste was then added to 
this liquor. Divide this into pills or pellets of an oblong shape, and 
keep them for use. 
Each of the birds should be made to swallow, morning and night, 
three of these pellets of the usual size for fattening, and having 
been first dipped in honied water for the convenience of giving. 
They are also made to swallow, after every meal, a spoonful of the 
tisane which was given under the prophylactic treatment. The 
quantity of the paste was likewise a little increased every day. At 
the expiration of this period, the birds had generally recovered their 
pristine appetite and gaiety: the medicine was then omitted, and 
they returned to their companions. 
During this treatment, some wheat corns were given them, 
which they were careless about at first, but soon began to fancy, 
and at length to swallow greedily. Their drink was pure water 
frequently changed. 
These measures having completely answered in the localities in 
which I first tried them, I hesitated not to use them wherever my 
services were afterwards required; and I have the pleasure of 
stating that I rarely failed of perfect success.

ON THE INFECTION OF THE CAVALRY HORSES IN 
QUIBERON BAY IN 1800. 
Sir,— Allow me to remark on Mr. Mogford’s notice of Glanders^ 
in your August number. 
Glanders and farcy were so prevalent in 1800, that few trans¬ 
ports were free from infection. As those diseases were so rife in 
England at that period, and particularly amongst the cavalry and 
artillery horses, I am inclined to believe that some of those sent to 
Egypt were infected before embarkation, and that glanders shewed 
itself in the cavalry employed in the Quiberon expedition some time 
after embarkation, as in the case of the horse at Guernsey, alluded 
to by Mr. Mogford. 
In confirmation that confinement in ships does not produce 
glanders, one transports Quiberon, with thirty-five horses, lost not 
one by glanders, although thirteen weeks at sea; and if foul stables 
produce the disease, those on the continent would never be with-
