GENERAL LYMPHANGITIS.

showing sores on both nostrils, some of which sores were 
cicatrized ; the discharge was mildly abundant, and often 
mixed with blood ; three large hypertrophied glands between 
the jaws, nasal membrane of rose color. Horse was fat, sleek, 
in a very good working condition, all other horses and mules 
sound. This horse was reported two years later to be about 
in the same condition and working all the time without any 
danger of contagion to other animals. I never heard that 
man complain of having lost another horse or mule. 
Mr. Heining, of Salida, Stanislaus Co., had one mule taken 
sick while at work, and in twenty-four hours the nasal pas¬ 
sage and larynx were so gravely affected as to cause choking. 
That mule died in two days. A week later I was called again 
to his place to attend to the family horse, affected with 
anhemia, and was astonished to find, separated in another sta¬ 
ble, two young fat mules, that had both nostrils covered with 
sores. Mr. Heining received these mules, as a present, from 
a neighbor, who having lost several animals from the same 
complaint, had resolved to kill these two. Mr. Heining, 
being a man of means and of study, wanted to experiment 
with these mules. So he treated them in most any imagin¬ 
able manner ; they broke out on the body and legs, but im¬ 
proved in the course of a few months, so well that he put 
them to work, drove around the country with them and 
mixed them up with his other stock. One of them happened 
to be overheatedand died. The other has recovered entirely 
and showed last August, 1888, clean legs, all swellings and 
tumors of the body had disappeared, only white scars visible 
on such places where large sores had existed ; two intermax¬ 
illary glands still hypertrophied ; a light, serous, watery dis¬ 
charge from both nostrils, various cicatrices of old sores visi¬ 
ble in both nasal cavities. Mule is lively and in good health. 
That mule is cured and never had the glanders. 
Ed. Hall, of Tarlock, works from sixty to seventy head of 
stock, and lost several years ago about $2,500 worth of mules 
within six months. On examining his stock, 1 found two 
horses and a mare, with a sucking colt by her side, having a 
free double discharge of good character and two soft glands
