REPORTS OF CASES. 
Brought to the hospital it was found that the horse had a 
champignon on the right side, the size of a large fist, with en¬ 
largement of the cord running well in the inguinal canal. From 
three different fistulous traets there escaped some pus of thin 
consistency. The general condition of the horse was good. 
The animal was put under the iodine treatment with three 
drachms doses three times a day, carried to four drachms after two 
weeks’ treatment. Local treatment the same as in the first case. 
There was no ill effects from the administration of the medi¬ 
cines, the animal’s appetite kept good and there was no lachry- 
mation. The discharge soon disappeared, the fistulous tracts 
healed and at the end of six weeks’ treatment the growth re¬ 
duced to the size of a small egg. The animal was discharged 
and returned to his work. 
MALLEINE IN GLANDERS. 
By J. F. Winchester, D.V.S., Lawrence, Mass. 
May 6, 1894, called to attend bay gelding 15 years old, 
with haemorrhage from left nostril, which continued for eight 
hours. The horse appeared normal, with exception of the right 
submaxillary gland, which was about the size of a walnut. The 
7th of May pin-hole ulcer ran on left side septum. Haem¬ 
orrhage again occurred on the 14th instant, but not so copious. 
The horse remained in an apparent healthy condition, and it 
was thought desirable to test him with malleine, and after tak¬ 
ing the temperature in his apparent normal condition for two 
days, the malleine was used.
