A REPORT OF THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE VETE¬ 
RINARY SCHOOL AT LYONS, DURING THE 
YEAR 1833. 
Among the maladies which oftenest come under notice in our 
locality are glanders and farcy in the horse ; an inflammation

pneumonia, bronchitis, and croup. 
Horses employed in draught, whether along the canal or on 
the road, or in the conveyance of passengers, whether by coach 
or on the railway, furnish us with the opportunity of observing 
particular diseases which in their nature and character have 
evident relation to the service in which the animals have been 
employed. 
The general dryness of the weather and the elevation of the 
temperature have prevented the development of glanders and 
FARCY ; at least we have had a considerably less number of 
these diseases to treat than on preceding years. It should also be 
remarked, that if glanders has not been more tractable than usual, 
it has remained longer in its subacute form without exhibiting 
its more formidable symptoms; and it should not be forgotten, as 
a circumstance having some influence in producing this mild type
