NEW COMPARATIVE EXPERIMENTS IN THE COMMUNICABILITY 
OF THE SCROFULA AND TUBERCULOSIS OF MAN TO THE 
RABBIT AND GUINEA PIG. 
By M. S. Arloing. 
Mr. Arloing describes several experiments in the inoculation 
of rabbits and guinea pigs with strumous ganglion of man. The 
ganglion, caseous in its center, removed the same morning from a 
scrofulous child, was reduced to pulp and the liquid obtained inocu¬ 
lated under the skin of ten rabbits and ten guinea pigs (two drops 
for each). Two months later, all the guinea pigs, which had 
died or were killed during that time, presented hypertrophied and 
caseous ganglions and tubercles, in the spleen and in the lungs. 
The ten rabbits continued free from any lesions of either visceral 
or ganglionic tubercnlizations. 
In another experiment, the inoculation was made in the peri¬ 
toneum, with the liquid of a ganglion taken on the same day 
(two drops to each as before). The result was the same. All 
the guinea pigs exhibited hypertrophy of the ganglions; the rab¬ 
bits were unaffected. 
These results seem to justify the distinction established by 
clinical observation. Are there two different kinds of virus ? 
Is scrofula the result of an attenuated and modified virus ? The 
investigations of the author are still in progress.

AN OUTBREAK OF GLANDERS IN NEW JERSEY. 
By Dr. A. Liautard, V.S. 
Mr. K- - is a well-to-do farmer, who keeps three horses in 
his stable, his equine family consisting of a bay mare, Flora, quite 
valuable; a bay horse, Charley, eight years old; and an old 
mare, Jenny, aged twenty-eight. Last March he bought from 
Mr. J-, a well-known horse dealer, a pair of geldings live or 
six years old, which had recently been brought from Canada. 
These two horses were placed in the same stable with the others, 
where they occupied stalls side by side, their stalls being situated
