improper to suspect a certain coincidence tending to show that 
malleine has a certain power in all affections whose principal 
seat is the respiratory apparatus, the lungs ? 
(c) Malleine in glanderous , suspicious or doubtful animals .— 
The action of malleine in all the cases where we have used it, 
either in those of a positive nature and of easy and sure diagno¬ 
sis, or, on the contrary, in those that could be classified among 
the suspicious or the doubtful, has always answered to us in an 
affirmitive manner, allowing us in our observations to recognize 
some 50% among the animals experimented upon and which, 
without the test, would have been returned to their work to con¬ 
tinue their nefarious work, instead of going to the knacker’s yard, 
where they belonged. 
2. Is Malleine always Infallible ?—Sinceour reading of all 
the experiments and records of malleine, since we had become 
familiarized with the published results, and especially since the 
day We experimented ourselves, we were pleased to consider in 
malleine a weapon sure and positive, which had been given to 
us to assist in the diagnosis of a doubtful and uncertain animal. 
The history of observation 33 came, however,, to destroy, partly, 
for a certain time, our belief. This horse, whose symptoms had 
all the time been almost without importance in the point of view 
of glanders, though they were not altogether ignored, came and 
offered us a reaction of 3 3“5°F in temperature, and besides local 
effects of little doubtful nature. But from that moment, the 
symptoms which were somewhat suspicious began to improve 
and then disappeared. A second injection was then made ten 
days later; the reaction was not entirely positive, but remained 
doubtful. A third injection, a week later, a fourth three weeks 
after, remained negative. The horse is apparently in perfect 
health, and whether Malleine has not tpld the truth, or 
3. Has she brought on the recovery of pulmonary glanders, 
yet in its incipient stage ? —Whatever it may be, the horse has 
returned to his work, which is not light, as he belongs to a 
traveling circus and is still in perfect health. Was his case 
similiar to those mentioned by Prof. Nocard in his answer to the
