CORRESPONDENCE. 
complicated nasal gleet—with the result that in a short time the 
discharge ceased and the pituitary membrane assumed a more 
healthy condition, the enlarged glands also becoming softer and 
smaller. Not feeliug satisfied with the progress of the case I re¬ 
quested Prof. McFadyean to inoculate a guinea pig with some of 
the nasal discharge, of which I gave him a supply. The result of 
the inoculation confirmed my suspicions, and the pony was slaugh¬ 
tered. The post mortem examination revealed pulmonary and 
systemic glanders lesions, but what was of more importance, I 
found several very extensive glanders cicatrices in the nasal mem- 
brane (high up in the cavities), but no recent ulceration, and no 
collection of pus; neither were there any bronchial lesions. 
Iodine vaporization should be more extensively used for such af¬ 
fections than it is, and also as a nasal and bronchial parasiticide, 
but glanders should be treated— never. 
I am yours faithfully, 
Thomas Wallet.

iLaitor Review : 
I notice in the September number of the Review, in Dr Fair’s 
report of the Ohio State Veterinary Medical Association, the fol¬ 
lowing sentence: 
“ P* r * 'P P- Meyer, j r>> rea d a ver y a bl e p a p er on the diff eren t 
methods of casting horses, and showed some very good specimens 
of fractured vertrebrse, the result of careless casting and con¬ 
fining of hoises. Dr. Meyer did read a very good paper, and had 
taken the trouble to prepare and take to the meeting such speci¬ 
mens. He also had the moral courage to write up a case of a 
fatal accident (which anypracticioner may have). Although Ido 
not think any wrong was meant, I do think it very unjust 
foi Pi- Fair or any other man to accuse Dr. Meyer of careless¬ 
ness in casting horses when he had not seen the operation, neither 
was it the verdict of the members present.
