CREASOTE IN NASAL GLEET. 
^vith great avidity; the alvine evacuations were scanty but 
otherwise natural; the legs warm, but ears cold. She died ap¬ 
parently in great agony within a week from the commencement 
of the attack. A post-mortem examination was made, when 
the abdominal viscera were found to be healthy; the lungs con¬ 
gested ; heart of the natural size, but pericardial sac slightly 
distended with fluid; the walls of heart softened, and the 
right ventricle contained a mass of lymph weighing about 
two pounds. How long might this state of things have 
existed ? 
CREASOTE IN NASAL GLEET. 
By Z. Z. 
The following appears a somewhat unusual case, and if 
you think it worth inserting in the Veterinarian you are wel¬ 
come so to do. 
A black mare, six years old, was sent to me at the begin¬ 
ning of last January, presenting symptoms resembling 
glanders, viz., there was a discharge of glairy matter from the

This discharge, I may mention, had, as I was informed,

to trephine and insert a seton. This was done, and the 
latter kept in for nearly two months, but still the discharge 
was in no way abated. I then resolved to try arsenious acid, 
which was administered in doses of from five to ten grains 
daily for four weeks, when the animaFs health began to 
suffer from symptoms of gastritis occasionally appearing. I 
discontinued these measures in consequence, and three weeks 
were allowed to elapse without any medicine being given, 
the gleet continuing neither better nor worse during the time, 
except that it became fetid and very offensive. Hardly 
knowing what to do with the case, I resolved to speculate a 
little, and with this intention I compounded a ball contain¬ 
ing Creasote, 5^? Pulv. Gentian., q. s. This was given 
daily for three weeks, but no improvement was noticed to 
have taken place. This, loo, was discontinued, and after 
the lapse of a week the following made use of: forty drops
