mono-bromated camphor, given one at a time, every hour, with 
small doses of buckthorn syrup. The animal began to improve 
from the second day, and made a complete recovery after a week 
of treatment.— Recueil de Medecine Veterinaire. 
[These dosimetrical granules are very easy of administration, 
and answer the purpose very well in canine pathology. We have 
used them with great advantage and success, and in fact admin¬ 
ister them altogether in our practice with this class of patients.—

INOCULATION OF GLANDERS TO DOGS. 
By M. Laguerriere. 
From a series of experiments made by the author, he reaches 
the following conclusions: 
1st. Equine glanders is transmissible to the dog by hypoder¬ 
mic inoculation. 
2d. The inoculated points may cicatrize very rapidly and 
subsequently give rise, first, to simple wounds, and afterwards to 
true ulcerations. These same points may again form simple 
small and persisting wounds, which will ultimately ulcerate. 
3d. Most ordinarily the inoculation produces a local trouble, 
the point of insertion becoming indurated on its circumference, 
and covered with large granulations, suppurating abundantly and 
bleeding very readily. The pus dries in thick brownish crusts, 
more or less adherent. These ulcerations are accompanied, more 
less, with lesions of the lymphatics. 
4th. Local accidents may become generalized. 
5th. From the experiments made it is shown that six months 
and more after a first positive inoculation, a subject has proved 
refractory to a new inoculation; that after about a year this re¬ 
fractory condition had become exhausted, and upon reinoculation 
the disease manifested itself by local and even general symptoms; 
that four months after this second inoculation, iramunitv again 
existed ; that this immunity against glanders can be communi¬ 
cated to the dog, and that consequently the animal is no exception 
to the law of immunity applicable to the prevailing classes of con¬ 
tagious diseases.
