2d The glanderous process may take effect in a horse

FROM SOCIETY PAPERS. 
INOCULABILITY OF DOURINE. 
By Prof. E. Nooard. 
Having noticed the virulency of the spinal cord in this 
section, Prof. Nocard had proved to himself that the disease 
us inoculable to dogs. He had noticed that several of 
tese animals which had been inoculated with a small quantity 
c mucous matter taken from a softened part of the cord of 
dourined horse had subsequently died in from six to eleven 
ueks after the injection, after also noticing the existence of 
] raplegia or monoplegia associated with a well marked pro- 
f essive loss of flesh. Since then he has often developed the 
<sease in dogs, and has observed that the virulency of the 
«rd could be preserved for a long time by immersing it in 
jire and neutral glycerine, as is done by Mr. Roux with the 
ains and cords of rabies.
