GLANDERS.

Fig. II— i. A portion of one of the turbinated bones, and 
2, the nasal partition from a 3-year-old Illinois filly affected 
W, th glanders about one year. At A in 1 are seen several soli¬ 
tary glanders ulcers. The entire surface of 2 has been destroyed 
by the confluence (running together) of innumerable ulcers which 
at B have penetrated so deeply that they have pierced the sep¬ 
tum from side to side so that a man’s finger could be passed 
through the partition from one nostril into the other. At A is 
seen an old adhersive band, the result of glanders ulceration, 
which united the nasal partition to the outer nostril wall. The 
septum shows throughout, a tendency to heal. 
Fig III.—Nasal partition from an aged Montana gelding, 
kept mostly on the range, at times worked upon a farm, said to 
have been affected for four or five years, his mate being more 
severely affected during the same period. At A are seen three 
small ulcers, and at B a dark colored but otherwise apparently 
healthy spot the nature of which is unknown. No scars from 
previous ulceration are to be found, doubtless because they, like 
those seen at A, have all been small and very superficial. 
Fig. IV. The left side of Fig I, showing the appearance 
of a healthy septum, or nose partition, 
Fig. V.—Nasal partition from a 3 -year-old Montana farm 
gelding, affected with acute glanders for a few weeks. Both 
sides were affected alike, the entire surface of the partition being 
one continuous mass of ulcerating, sloughing tissues, the gan¬ 
grene or death of the parts, extending deeply at A so that had 
the animal lived a few weeks longer the partition would have 
been personated as in Fig II. 
Fig. VI.—Nasal partition from an aged Illinois gelding 
affected with acute glanders of a few months. From A to A 
along center of partition is one continuous ulcerating patch, 
while on either side are smaller ulcerating patches interspersed 
with healthy patches,. Opposite side is wholly free from ulcer¬ 
ation.
