Institut Pasteur. The conclusion reached was that glanders 
could be cured with mallein. 
I wrote to the Institut Pasteur for further information on 
the above subject (curative treatment), and am this morning in 
receipt of a letter from them, of which the following is a trans¬ 
lation : 
“We received your letter of the 4th inst., which we have 
communicated to Dr. Roux, who has requested us to make the 
following reply: 
“ 1. The dose of mallein solution is 2.5 c. c. for a horse 
of medium weight. 
“ 2. In considering the reaction indicating glanders it is 
necessary to take into consideration 
“ 1. The rise in temperature. 
“ 2. The local oedema. 
u 3. The general condition of the horse. 
“ 3. When a horse indicates complete reaction, inject 2.5 
c. c. at intervals of about one month. The horse may be con¬ 
sidered cured when he has shown no reaction at two consecutive 
injections. 
“ 4. All horses treated in this way are not cured, the treat¬ 
ment being effective only upon those which have but slight 
lesions. 
“ 5. The animals under treatment should be isolated.” 
Trusting that this information may be of interest to your 
readers, and holding myself at your disposal for any further par¬ 
ticulars that you may desire, I remain, 
Yours truly, 
Harold Sorby,
