518 PSEUDO-GLANDEItS SUCCESSFULLY TREATED. 
501. He was tried through the fields, to leap over the 
fences. He pleased well, but had a slight cough. Mr. Young 
proposed to keep him a few days until the cough had left. 
Inflammation of the lungs supervened. I attended him, 
and through the ordinary treatment, he got well. Passing to 
Edinburgh one day about a week after, we considering him 
quite recovered, I called, and, on looking over him, dis¬ 
covered a very small ulcer on the Schneiderian membrane. 
In case it might be of little consequence, I did not inform 
the owner, but visited my patient about two days after. The 
ulcer by this time had considerably enlarged. There was 
now no mistake about the case; glanders were progressing 
rapidly. In the course of a week the very cartilage of the 
nose had become ulcerated through, and he could scarcely 
breathe; he therefore had to be destroyed. It was found 
then that thq groom who attended him had taken the pail 
the two horses that were under treatment for glanders 
used, though expressly forbidden to use anything whatever 
from that stable. The disease had, no doubt, been so com¬ 
municated ; and its rapid termination might perhaps have 
been caused by the animal being at the time considerably 
reduced from the previous treatment for inflammation of 
the lungs. 
About two years ago, I was called on by Mr. W. Binnie, 
to go to the training stables at Gullane in East Lothian, 
to attend on one of his racing mares that had got strained in 
the back, from a veterinary surgeon from Edinburgh casting 
her to fire one of her fore legs for a slight enlargement on 
the flexor tendon. He supposed she was done , as four men 
had to steady her, and help her into the stable. Mr. Binnie 
was innkeeper at Caffrae Mill, near Lauder, in Berwickshire, 
farmer of Overhowden, and a most determined horse-racer. The 
only book he ever reads, or particularly studies, is The Racing 
Calendar; the only newspaper, BeIVs Life. He can tell you 
all the winners of the different races from the Derby and St. 
Leger down to the Leith Carters or Collier’s Parades, that 
have been run between the Land’s End and Johnny Groats, 
for the last twenty-five years. Before those murdering 
things called railways banished the Jehus off their own good 
hard-mettled roads, Mr. Binnie furnished horses for at least 
two long stages of as hilly a road as any in Scotland ; and in 
the spirit of determined opposition to these new iron roads, 
he, along with Mr. John Croal, of Edinburgh, started a coach 
called “ The Quicksilver,” at racing speed. Mr. Binnie having 
the worst of the road, infection getting in, or the racing pace
