By the table quod vide from nine to eleven hours after 
the first puncture the temperature advanced 1.9 0 F. to 2.7 0 
F. and later to 104° F. The difference between the induced 
temperature and the original amounted to 3.4 0 F.; contem¬ 
poraneous with which an acceleration of the pulse rate was 
recorded and an exceeding weakness. From the right nos¬ 
tril an abundant discharge of a purulent, thick nature, more 
so on the right side ; the ulcer, which the day before was 
not distinctly visible, now became so, and the pale mucous 
secretion which covered it was replaced by a brown scab. 
The inter-maxillary glands of the right side increased in size, 
and those on the left side partook of the swelling and were 
much softened. 
After death I found very numerous nodules in the lungs, 
mostly of recent formation and red ; surrounding several 
recent dark nodules a diffuse red zone and small red dots and 
stripes were observed in the center of aged caseous collec¬ 
tions ; on the Schneiderian membrane some phagedenic 
ulcers. Transverse section of the maxillary gland disclosed 
numerous soft points. 
To the stable in question there yet belong four horses, 
which up to this time have revealed no questionable symp¬ 
toms, but which, to satisfy the sanitarians, must also be de¬ 
stroyed. One of these responded in a decided manner to 
injections. 
It is very evident from the foregoing trials with the lymph 
that it is able to induce a reaction ; in how far this working 
is specific remains to be determined. The results obtained 
encourage to further pursuit, which, preferably, should be 
made by other members of the profession,
