of July, 1861, one of the students, M. Leyder, of the clinic 
of the school, gave him a translation of a case of a horse sent 
to the Veterinary School of Dresden, suspected to be glandered. 
This horse was attacked while there with petechial fever, of 
w 7 hich he died in a few days. Dr. Haubner, the author of 
this observation, which is inserted in the annual report 
for 1858 of the state of veterinary medicine in Saxony, had 
the urine of this patient repeatedly analysed by Professor 
Suszdorf, who ascertained that it contained a quantity of 
sugar, the same as in the diabetic urine of man. Dr. Haub¬ 
ner, who has the praiseworthy habit of having the urine of 
all the horses that are confided to his care analysed, says 
that glucose has never before been found in the urine of the 
horse, not even in that of those who were affected with polyuria 
or false diabetes. 
The case of this horse, which was not diabetic, is therj 
fore the first instance in which this professor has met with 
sugar in the urine. At the autopsy the author fou^rdCst^lty 
degeneration of the liver to exist. Jy ^ r
