BUltSATtP. 19 
the Indian Public Opinion that the disease does attack the 
“equus secundas.” 
This paper states, in a paragraph upon the sale of the 
“ Lahore ” stnd horses, that one of the occupants of the stud 
premises was a very fine donkey, kept for the purpose of pro¬ 
pagating mules, for which there is always a great demand in 
the Punjab, and that on a recent visit to the stud we found 
this donkey tied up in one of the stalls, and suffering from 
bursatie in the fore legs. He was a most miserable object 
from above the knee down to the hoofs ; there was nothing 
but one great raw bleeding mass, without protection or a 
trace of dressing, and covered by clustering myriads of flies. 
Until I see a case of bursatie in the horse’s less illustrious 
friend, I shall consider the case quoted in the Indian Public 
Opinion as a doubtful one of bursatie. Natives often speak 
of bursatie on the neck of working bullocks, which is no 
more than a gall produced by the fore part of the truck to which 
they are yoked. I again must disagree with “ Patriarch’s ” 
statement that bursatie is allied to a disease common among 
men in the Delhi vicinity, and known as “arunzebe ” or 
Delhi boils. Although I am aware that the disease arun- 
zebe is said to have been seen in the horse in the Delhi boil 
districts, the annexed table will show several points in which 
the two diseases differ: 
Delhi Boils. 
Said to be a species of anthrax . . 
Pustules mark one stage . . . 
General health said to be good . . 
Occurs more frequently after the 
rains. 
Said to be inoculable. 
As a rule the disease lasts for a few 
months. 
Said to be painless *. 
Bursatie. 
Bursatie possesses no such character. 
Bursatie not so. 
Not so in “ bursatie.” 
Bursatie occurs both before and 
during the rains. 
Bursatie not so. 
Permanent immunity rare in bur¬ 
satie. 
Both painful and irritable. 
I think these facts sufficient to show that the two diseases are 
distinct. Many yagers possess supposed panaceas for the heal¬ 
ing of bursatie ulcers and preventing a return of the disease, 
but I have generally found that these nostrums do little or 
no good. You cannot select any agent in particular for the 
treatment of these ulcers. Apply some stimulant for three 
or four days and the sore-will answer bravely to your call; 
this will in all probability be followed by a torpid state of 
the ulcer, and you will require a fresh application every 
few days. In a case selected for illustration, a large bursatie 
sore occupied the anterior angle of each eye. The tuberculous 
matter had been deposited partly under the skin of the eye-
