of therapeutic aids. Haubner admits that the average mortality 
is 40 per cent., but may sometimes reach 70 per cent. It is mor¬ 
tal in males oftener than in females. Convalescence is often long 
protracted; recovery is often more apparent than real, and re¬ 
lapses are common, especially under the influence of genital ex¬ 
citation. The disease may recidivate.

The Differential Patho-Anatomical Diagnosis in Glanders. 
This most important subject was very ably defined by Profes¬ 
sor Schutz in his instructions to the Chief Veterinary Police Offi¬ 
cers of Germany. 
Prof. Schutz states that glanders finds its origin in a contagious 
principle. 
The specific product in glanders is a small nodulus about the 
size of a millet seed, composed largely of round cells, and more or 
less stroma of connective tissue. These noduli must, therefore, 
be classed among the connective or granulation neoplasms. This 
tissue is soft, and contains more or less fluid in its meshes, and is 
of a yellowisli-white color. The richer such neoplasms are in 
cellular elements, the more clouded do they appear. 
The fresh nodulus in glanders is gray in color, and consists of 
small round cells; the older ones are of a yellowish color, and 
contain large cellular elements. These nodular neoplasms undergo 
necrobiotic degeneration, frequently leading to the formation of 
cavities when situated in the midst of parenchymatous organs ; 
when situated superficially, as in the nasal mucosse or in the skin, 
such degeneration leads to the formation of ulcers. When fatty 
metamorphosis occurs in these noduli, they assume a clouded yel¬ 
low color, which has frequently led to said noduli being looked 
upon as (genuine) tubercles.
