are common causes of the lesion. As treatment, which is long 
and difficult, Frohner recommends washes of boric acid, two 
per cent.; corrosive sublimate, half per cent.; salicylic acid, 
two per cent.; quinine, five per cent; chloride water, ten per 
cent. This may answer at the beginning of the disease, but 
in later stages astringents are preferable, such as sulphate of 
copper, half to one per cent.; nitrate of silver, 0.5 to 2 per

pation of the membrana nictitans is indicated.— Archiv. fur

EXPERIMENTAL TRANSMISSION OF GLANDERS TO SHEEP. 
By Prof. Coskor. 
Coskor inoculated on the internal face of the thigh of a 
sheep, a culture of glanders obtained after inoculation of glan¬

presented all the symptoms of nasal glanders. The animal was 
killed four weeks after the inoculation, and presented the fol¬

the left inferior turbinated bone; chancre on the same side of 
the septum nasi; yellowish nodosities on the pituitary; lymph¬ 
atic glands of the neck swollen with miliary tubercles, greyish 
and caseous; soft caseous tubercles in the spleen. Micro¬

tubercles of the hypertophied glands, treated by the method 
of Loeffler and Schutz, revealed in them numerous glanders
