EXTRACTS FROM FOREIGN PERIODICALS.

vhich was used for experiments in the bacteriological insti- 
ute of Dorpat. This animal, when but six months old, was 
noculated under the skin of the right nostril, and that of the 
capular region, with a virulent liquid obtained by squeezing 
he liver and spleen of a guinea-pig which had died from 
glanders. 
Nine days after the injection, together with other symp- 
oms, a greasy ulcer appeared on the nasal septum, surrounded 
>y nodules of a grayish-yellow color; also inflammation of the 
-ight submaxillary glands, and an abundant discharge from 
he mouth and ocular regions. 
Two months later the patient was very weak, continuing 
n the recumbent posture. The inoculation of other animals 
vith virulent matter gave positive results. During the entire 
:ontinuance of the disease the temperature remained at 
ibout 39°. 
After a while the symptoms began to abate, and a month 
ater the mucous of the nasal cavity had resumed its normal 
ispect. 
On the 8th of March following, or about six months after, 
i subcutaneous injection of oleum terebinthina was made, ac- 
:ording to Cagny’s method. Outside of the oedema follow- 
ng, nothing abnormal could be discovered, and up to the 7th 
af April the mare was apparently in good health. On that 
day injections of virulent matter were made as follows, by 
means of excoriations made with a scalpel upon the right side 
af the septum nasi; and also, the same process being used, 
by frictions upon the frontal region ; and for the subcutaneous 
injection of the nostril, virulent matter mixed with a physio¬ 
logical solution of natr. chloro., previously filtrated, was used. 
For this injection a cubic centimeter was employed. Inflam¬ 
matory symptoms soon appeared at the points of inoculation, 
and the microscope disclosed micrococci in the pus, the tumor 
in the nostril becoming enlarged and warm. 
April nth, all the symptoms were diminished, and by the 
beginning of May the tumor had disappeared. The maxi¬ 
mum of temperature of the mare remained about 38.8. 0 
On the same day, April 7th, and with the same virulent
