GLANDERS. 
By W. L .Williams, V. S., Bozeman, Montana. 
A review and extract from his article in Bulletin No. 4 of the Montana Agricultural 
Station. 
Through the kind permission of Dr. Williams, veterinarian at 
the Montana Agricultural Station, we present to our readers a 
series of plates illustrating the lesions of the septum masi in 
cases of glanders in various stages. These were published in 
bulletin No. 4 of the Station, which appeared some time ago, in 
which Dr. Williams wrote a very long article on the disease, in 
which he reviewed the entire subject of glanders, probably more 
for the benefit of horse owners in Montana but where no doubt, 
veterinarians would find much matter of interest. 
It is in this way that after a kind of review of the general 
history of glanders and fancy and of the cause, the bacillus mal¬ 
leus, he enters into the pathology and the description of the 
symptoms, for the illustration of which he uses the plates he so 
kindly sent to us. and these are followed by the careful consid¬ 
eration of the influences which modify the manifestations and the 
characters of the desease.
