DOUBTFUL CASE OF GLANDERS. 
he has voided a few faeces, hard and pale in colour; the visible 
swelling is now more evident over the maxillary space, 
pectoral muscles, and gluteal region, and very sore to the 
touch. The same treatment to be continued, with the addi¬ 
tion of a bottle of port wine given daily. 
6th, 9 a.m.—The animal continues to go on favorably, 
although he does not lie down, and seems sore from head to 
foot. Another abscess is now forming over the region of 
the parotid gland, which is hard and painful. Persevere in 
the same treatment. 
7th, 9 a.m.—Animal still doing well; he has taken rest 
during the night; the swelling in the maxillary space is much 
more developed, likewise over the parotid gland and the 
pectoral and gluteal muscles, evincing a strong disposition 
to the formation of abscesses. I now considered it time to 
assist in the formation of the same, and ordered hot linseed- 
meal poultices to be applied over the respective regions 
Treatment otherwise continued as before. 
At the end of three days the abscesses fluctuated suffi¬ 
ciently to admit of their being opened, which I did as boldly 
as possible, giving ample room for the discharge of their 
contents. 
Taking into consideration the heavy drain which had 
been imposed upon the system, I now gave the following: 
9 ) Ammonite Carb., ^iss ; 
Terri Sulph., gj; 
Pulv. Zingiber., gj; 
Oninre Disulph., ; 
Pulv. Glycyrrli., ^vij; 
Syr. Simpl., q. s.; 
To make twelve balls, two of which to be given daily, one 
at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. 
Generous diet and careful grooming were ordered, and I 
am happy to say my patient is now convalescent. 
A DOUBTFUL CASE OF GLANDERS. 
By “ Argus.** 
Gentlemen, —Some months ago I was consulted about 
a horse, suffering from what was supposed to be “ a cold, with 
discharge from the nose/ 5 the owner of the animal being a 
man who knows very little about horses or their diseases.
