CURE OF A CASE OE GLANDERS. ' 
By M. Guyon, M.Y. 
In a letter to the director of the Veterinary School of 
Toulouse, M. Guyon relates a case of glanders cured by the 
complex administration of arsenic and nux vomica. 
In the month of May, 1861, he says, a horse was brought 
to him from the neighbourhood of Charente, said to be 
affected with chronic strangles. The animal was five years 
old, and of the anglo-French breed. On examining the 
patient, it was not difficult to come to the conclusion that it 
was a case of chronic glanders. The discharge from the 
nostrils was of a greenish colour, thick, and adhering to the 
sides of the nose, the'mucous membrane was ulcerated, and 
of a pale colour, the lymphatic glands under the jaw were 
enlarged, painful, and adhering to the bones. All these 
symptoms M. Guyon avers are undoubtedly those of glanders. 
The patient was subjected to the treatment of nux vomica, 
according to the formula of M. Martin, and in forty-five 
days, after an intermittent administration of it, with the 
addition of some fumigations and a well regulated diet, the 
cure was pronounced to be complete.
