GLANDERS A RESULT OR IMPROPER REEDING. 
"Mr. Dyer further says, “ The warranty should have stated 
the animal was a gelding/’ in which case he appears to think 
the purchaser would recover. 
I happen to know that the purchaser told the seller that 
he wanted a “ young sound carriage horse, to make fresh dur¬ 
ing the winter, and sell for London work in spring.” 
A “gelding” may, therefore, be fairly taken to have been 
in the minds of both at the time of sale. Why, therefore, 
should not the word “gelding” be read for “horse” in the 
warranty as representing the animal both parties were 
dealing with at the time of sale? 
But even then must not the purchaser show fraud in the 
seller to recover? 
GLANDEES, A EESULT OF IMPEOPEE FEEDING. 
By T. Waller, M.E.C.V.S., Weshpool. 
The perusal of the communication on glanders, in your 
December number, by Mr. A. C. Shaw, brought to my 
remembrance two cases which bear out in many particulars 
the excellent remarks he there makes, viz., as to many of the 
tubercular deposits and extensive exudations that the horse is 
liable to, being in a great measure due to non-nutritious, or 
an insufficient quantity of food, combined with an irregular 
mode of feeding. 
The animals whose cases I am about to relate had been fed 
principally upon hay, Swedes, and French wheat, given at 
irregular intervals and in improper quantities. 
I have also under my care at the present moment a hack 
and harness horse that had been fed largely on linseed 
mashes, suffering from low fever, derangement of the liver, 
and severe cough; but under the influence of nitro-hydro- 
chloric acid he is gradually regaining his "wonted strength. 
Case 1 . —A bay cart-horse, seven years old, had received 
a kick from another horse on the point of the shoulder, two 
years previous to my having seen her, which was on the 5th 
of May of the present year. She had been blistered and 
setoned by a farrier several times, but without any benefit. 
The shoulder, as also the opposite one, was considerably 
enlarged and hard, with much lameness present. The mare 
had also an enlargement of a chronic nature on the poll.
