PSEUDO-GLANDERS SUCCESSFULLY TREATED. 517 
Murrays, by Stow, going in a court-yard, had had a dis¬ 
charge from the off nostril for more than eighteen months. 
The matter was thick and yellow, and had a little fetid 
smell: the submaxillary gland was considerably enlarged. 
The colt was in good condition. I cast him, opened the 
frontal and maxillary sinuses on that side, making a free 
opening between those sinuses, so that the matter might dis¬ 
charge of itself at the depending orifice. Both the cavities 
were found filled with matter. This treatment was added 
to by giving a ball, once a day, of diniodide of copper 9j, 
gentian and ginger aa sij, the diniodide being gradually 
increased to yj. The sinuses washed out every day with a 
syringe, first with soap and water, then with a lotion of 
acetate of zinc. The balls were continued for eight days; 
then for eight days no medicine was given ; but repeated for 
the next eight days as at first. This treatment was con¬ 
tinued for the first month. The balls were given each alter¬ 
nate day for the next month ; the third month they were 
given twice a week; no medicine given on each alternate 
week. The wounds were a little enlarged, as they had 
nearly closed about two months after the operation. In 
three months the wounds were allowed to heal. The animal 
was shortly after put to work, and has continued in the 
owner’s hands without the least appearance of disease ever 
since. 
The horses belonging to Mr. Thomas Young, when 
farmer of Craigour, near Edinburgh, became affected by a 
harness-horse having been taken in to winter in the court¬ 
yard adjoining his stable. Several of his work-horses were 
destroyed. A pair of very fine ones were placed in a two- 
stalled stable, and w r ere operated on. The treatment being 
something similar to the last, only that they being large sized 
horses, the diniodide of copper was increased to them to 3ij 
doses a day. The horses were worked during the treatment. 
Another horse, who had farcy, was kept in an empty house, 
and not worked. The treatment in his case being the same, 
with this addition, that the ulcers were opened whenever 
they were discovered, well washed with a lotion of dinio¬ 
dide of copper, 3iij ad with a little of the dry powder 
afterwards put into the wounds. These animals, to all ap¬ 
pearances, got well; but, as they were sold soon after, for 
fear the disease might return, I had no opportunity of hear¬ 
ing anything more of them. 
A very fine saddle-horse, which stood in a separate stable, 
was sold by Mr. Young to a gentleman in Edinburgh for
