336 MR. yotjatt’s veterinary lectures. 
covered a preventive or a palliation, if not a cure. It will not be 
always thus. The proper extent of veterinary science begins 
now to be appreciated, and the schools must recognize it, and the 
veterinarian and the agriculturist will be equally benejitted. 
Proper Treatment. —In some cases I have given with benefit 
the fever powder already recommended for horses and cattle, and 
in doses of from ten grains to a scruple of the compound. There 
have been fewer of the fated lot remaining, and some of them 
have been redeemed from the destruction that seemed to await 
them. If we cannot, however, do much as to the medical treat¬ 
ment of this disease, we can do more in the way of prevention. 
If we cannot hasten the return of spring, we can remove the 
shiverers to a drier and warmer situation ; we can encourage the 
growth of the thick and almost impervious hedge, or of the tree 
whose winter foliage will always afford a shelter. Agriculturists 
begin to be aware of the necessity of some protection for the ewe 
that has just yeaned, and for the newly-dropped lamb. They 
have purchased their experience at a dear rate, but they have 
learned a lesson of wisdom and humanity. 
Not Glanders .—The disease that I have been describing is 
called by some the glanders of sheep, but it has no affinity to 
that malady in the horse. The result of several experiments, so 
far as they have been carried, is that the sheep is not susceptible 
of glanders. I should be cautious of trying the experiment with 
a valuable flock, but I never yet heard of an instance of the dis¬ 
ease being communicated by a glandered horse feeding in the 
same pasture with sheep. The matter of glanders has been 
thrust up the nostrils of a sheep without bad effect, and the horse 
has been inoculated, without ill result, with the matter from the 
nose of a sheep labouring under bad coryza. 
Not Irritation from tlie Larvce of Flies. —You will be careful, 
gentlemen, that you do not confound this disease with another 
discharge, small and limpid, but accompanied by seemingly in¬ 
supportable annoyance to the animal, who is snorting, and throw¬ 
ing himself about, and galloping in every direction. This occurs 
in the summer—it attacks only a few of the flock, and it is oc¬ 
casioned by the larvae of the oestrus ovis crawling up the 
nostril to reach their destined residence during the first form 
which they assume. 
Of the swine I am not able to speak from experience, and I 
will not mislead you by hearsay reports from others. 
CORYZA IN THE DOG. 
We have coryza in the dog sufficiently plain. We see him 
snorting in a very peculiar way, with his head protruded, for a
