9th. One must be cautious when animals are feverish, as 
then they react less to malleine even when they are affected 
with severe glanders. In those cases it is better to postpone 
the injection; if the fever still continues and the malleine is 
used, less importance will be attached to the variations of the 
temperature ; but, on the contrary, the general svmptoms 
will be so much more marked as the disease will be more ad¬ 
vanced. 
i°th. Ordinarily, at the second injection, the local lesion 
at the point of injection is always more marked than at the 
first.

TWO CASES OF TUBERCULOSIS IN SWINE. 
By Mr. Ed. Niel. 
In two animals, respectively seven and eight months old, 
lesions found at the slaughter-houses justified the author in 
preventing the carcasses from being used for general con¬ 
sumption, and though the bacteriological examination of the 
organs was not made, the characters were sufficiently de¬ 
veloped to warrant his report. 
In one animal the spleen was much hypertrophied, its sur¬ 
face irregular, bosselated, and covered with numerous tu¬ 
bercles containing a yellowish caseous substance. The bron¬ 
chial glands are enlarged, as well as those of the stomach and 
mesentery. Lungs and pleura free. 
In the other a well-marked generalized pulmonary tuber¬

astinal and bronchial glands are hypertrophied. The liver and 
the spleen show a few isolated small tubercles. The inguinal 
and sublumbar glands are conjested.— Ibid.
