CONTAGION OF GLANDERS. 397 
adhesion and its sensibility. The wounds in the nose are almost 
entirely healed. 
Dec. 3d .—There is not the slightest trace of gland or wound. 
During the remainder of the month nothing particular occurred. 
On the 1st of January the patient was sent with other horses 
that had been cured of farcy to undergo an additional probation ; 
and on the 1st of March was returned to his regiment. 
Experiment II.—Another horse. No. 1040, was inoculated at 
the same time with the same matter. The result was the same, 
except that three glands appeared under the jaw, which were 
large, tender, and adherent, and which all disappeared with the 
wounds on the pituitary membrane in the early part of December. 
On the 1st of March, 1835, there was not the slightest trace of 
farcy or glanders. 
Experiment III.—A pledget of tow, well soaked in the matter 
discharged from the nostrils of a horse labouring under chronic 
glanders of the third degree, was inserted into the sub-cutaneous 
cellular tissue of the neck of the horse, No. 841 (Nov. the 15th, 
1834), and kept there by means of two or three sutures. No 
effect whatever was produced, and the horse was returned to his 
former situation on the 1st of January. 
Experiment IV.—Two spoonfuls of the discharge from a horse 
labouring under glanders in the third degree were mingled with 
a little warm water, and slowly injected into the left juo-ular 
vein of the horse marked 433. Six weeks having passed, and 
no alteration having taken place in the apparent health of the 
animal, he was returned to his former situation. He has since 
been examined several times, but no change has taken place in 
him. 
Experiment V.—This was almost a repetition of the first ex¬ 
periment, except that the matter with which the pituitary mem¬ 
brane was inoculated was taken from a horse (No. 824) in the 
second stage*. Nine days afterwards two glands were observed 
below the ja\v, large, adherent, and tender. These glands, how¬ 
ever, soon began to diminish, and, at length, disappeared, about 
the time that the wounds in the nose healed, and no untoward 
symptom afterwards appeared. 
Ejxperiment VI.—A pledget of tow moistened with the dis¬ 
charge obtained during the second stage of glanders was intro- 
* The first stage of the disease includes the gradual advance of tlie malady 
from suspicion to certainty, and before there is any determinate consti¬ 
tutional affection. The second stage is when glanders is sufficiently de¬ 
veloped, but no ulcerations have appeared. The third stage commences 
with the appearance of the chancres.— Edit.
