Now, gentlemen, if my subject has not become monoto¬ 
nous, I would like to ask a few questions, but before doing so, 
I will say that this horse was not known to have come in con¬ 
tact with any animal diseased with glanders. 
The questions are: 
1. Was the glanders here a sequella of the previous trou¬ 
ble? I have never heard of its being. 
2. Was it of spontaneous origin? 
3. Was the pneumonia caused by the formation of the tu¬ 
bercles which we invariably find in the lungs of a glandered 
horse. 
4. Was the germ in the system and did the debility pro¬ 
duced by the previous illness act as an exciting cause, and 
cause the development of the glanders ? This latter I think 
very plausible, as an explanation for the sudden development 
of the disease. 
However, I hope you will all give your opinion as to the 
cause of the development of the glanders in this particular 
case. Let us hear from you, gentlemen, if not to-night at 
some future meeting of our society. 
BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS. 
A Paper read at a Meeting of the New Jersey State Veterinary Society, 
by E. L. Loblein, D.V.S. 
Gentlemen: 
For the entertainment and I hope benefit of the society, I 
have undertaken to write on a subject that 1 am illy able to 
cope with, but as I consider the study of tuberculosis of 
paramount important to the veterinarian, I thought we might 
air our opinions and experience with benefit to all. My rea¬ 
sons for considering it so important are these: First and 
chiefly. Much of the milk and meat from such diseased cat¬ 
tle are consumed for food daily, and although not in a position 
to say positively that the flesh and milk from tuberculous 
cattle is dangerous to use, yet 1 think many cases of tubercu¬ 
losis in human beings could be attributed to consumption of 
such food. Especially do 1 think this possible in little chib
