from the presence of that plague. 
If this had been the only professional services rendered by 
Dr. E. F. Thayer to his countrymen, it would be enough to 
entitle his name to the gratitude of posterity in connection 
with the history of veterinary medicine in the United States, 
without enumerating his other claims to a place among the 
distinguished and useful men of the countrv. Our sincere 
condolence and the assurance of our cordial sympathies are

GENERAL LYMPHANGITIS. 
An article read before the California State Veterinary Medical Association, 
December 13, 1888, By Dr. J. P. Klenoh, V.S. 
In former times, glanders and farcy have been considered 
by the most prominent lights in veterinary science as of a 
tuberculous nature, and the miliary deposits in the lungs were 
admitted to be entirely similar to those of tuberculosis. The 
microscopists made great efforts to discover some marked 
difference between the two diseases in the intimate nature of 
the abscess, its formation and its contents, although well 
knowing the great difference of the symptoms in both affec¬ 
tions. All admitted, however, and the same opinion is pre¬ 
vailing still at the present time, that the specific product of 
glanders is a small nodulus, of the size of a lent, composed of 
round cells and connective tissues; these noduli degenerate 
and form cavities or ulcers according to their location. Prof. 
H. Bouley had such confidence in the metastatic character 
of those tuberculous deposits in glanders that, whenever 
called upon to examine a suspicious horse, that showed 
only a bad nasal discharge and adherent gland, without any 
visible ulcer, he invariably condemned such horse as affected 
with the confirmed glanders, when he found one or two 
miliary tubercles on the membrane under the nasal wing ; 
that, said he, is an evident proof of the existence of miliary 
tubercles in the lungs.
