the number of cases of glanders and possibly the extinction of 
the disease.— Rec. de Med. Vet. 
[While the expectation of Mr. Laquerriere may be exaggerated, there is no doubt 
that much good may be derived from it, and American veterinarians would do well to 
appreciate the value of the Swiss regulations in, if not stamping out glanders, at least 
in protecting the stocks of their employers. Obligatory tests with malleine in large 
horse establishments imposes itself when one case has been discovered.— Edit.]

By Richard Middleton, D.V.S., Philadelphia, Pa. 
SARCOMA OR LEUCAEMIA. 
Almost every year, on a certain farm in Saxony, one, at 
least, and some years several colts died of a stubborn bronchial 
catarrh. The post-mortem in each instance invariably exposed, 
beside a chronic catarrh, from six to thirty bodies which followed 
the bronchi in their ramifications; these varied in size from a 
cherry to a walnut, and when transversely cut presented a fatty 
surface with a yellowish-white hue. 
In one case the lung was nearly obliterated by the aggressive 
usurpations of these tumors ; in this particular foal swellings 
were also found in the mesentery of the small and large intes¬ 
tines. The enlargements in the lung were diagnosed as multiple 
sarcoma by the veterinary university. The agricultural depart¬ 
ment of the University of Leipzig decided the same to be the 
“usual swellings which accompany chlorosis.” 
The author examined the blood of two subjects which, a 
short time after the above decision, came under his care, and 
came to the conclusion that the affection was leucaemia, from 
the preponderance of the leucocytes present. He prescribed 
the following: 
I£ Liq. potas. arsenici 3 iiss. 
Tinct. ferri 3 ii.
