SANITARY BULLETIN. 
Report of the work done by the Local and State Boards 
of Health for the suppression and control of glanders in 
horses, fron October i, 1888, to January 1, 1891, a period of 
two years and three months. 
The law under which this work has been done (chapter 
200, laws of 1885) was enacted and approved in March, 1885. 
Glanders had been introduced by importations from all ad¬ 
joining States and Territories. The attack began immedi¬ 
ately everywhere it was found. The details of the com¬ 
bined efforts of State and local boards, up to October 1, 1888, 
will be found in the previous reports, but I add the general 
statistics, as abstracted from those reports, as a proper intro¬ 
duction to this one.
