REPORTS OF CASES. 
to the inner surface of thigh, in fact presenting well marked 
farcy; also found two others presenting similar symptoms 
I also had those destroyed. On September 24th 1 was called 
to see one of those which had been disposed of. I found that 
glandered. Some six weeks later the other one which had 
been sold was destroyed by another veterinary surgeon. 
During the interval three horses had been sent to another 
island. You will find that that leaves one out of the eleven 
received; this one was kept alongside of the horse that I will 
call my patient. 
On October 31st was called in to see these two horses. 
The first one, or the last of the eleven, I found a well marked 
case of glanders; the other presenting the following symptoms: 
respiration slightly hurried ; temperature 102° ; right submax¬ 
illary gland enlarged, hard and not very painful; slight dis¬ 
charge from right nostril, which was rather gluey; mucous 
membrane of the nostrils bluish. 
Having seen subcutaneous injections of olii. tert. rec¬ 
ommended as an aid in the diagnosis of glanders and 
having tried the same with marked success in a number of 
cases, I decided to do so in this instance also. Mr. VV. H. 
Thorpe, who is with me, proposed that we should use it in a 
large dose and see what effect that would have. We injected 
in the side of the neck 43 with the following result: 
Two days later had temperature of 105°, the other sub¬ 
maxillary gland also enlarged, profuse discharge from both 
nostrils of a substance similar to albumen, bnt not quite as 
thick, spot surrounding injection enormously enlarged, paro¬ 
tid gland on same side also large. These conditions remained 
for a few days, when both submaxillary gland as well as par¬ 
otid suppurated ; I also opened the side of the neck. All of 
these I treated as simple abscesses. When they were healed 
the horse seemed in perfect health and has continued so up 
to date, March 11, 1890. 
I am watching this case with great interest and shall re¬ 
port if any change occurs. I would also like some one else 
to try this in a well marked case of acute glanders and report 
result, as I intend doing so.
