.REPORTS OF CASES. 
between those of Charley aud Jenny. At the time of purchase 
the off new horse (Ned) was running at the nose, hut this was 
thought to be only the effect of a simple cold. Shortly after a 
fullness began to appear in the maxillary space, though otherwise 
he seemed perfectly well. The other horse (Bill) when bought, 
was said to have been very stiff and sore all over his legs. 
In June, the bay horse, Charley, had a swelling of the legs, 
and lumps appeared at various points about the body, and in 
July he began to run freely at the nose. 
In September, the horse Bill had a swelling of the glands of 
the jaw and began to run at the nose also. 
It was then that Mr. Blaker, a student of veterinary medicine, 
was called in, and he advised that the State Board of Health be 
notified of the fact, which resulted in a request to Dr. A. S. Leath- 
erman of Clinton, N. Y., to examine the entire stock, and to re¬ 
port. Dr. Leatherman condemned all the animals except the mare 
Julia, and quarantined the place. 
The dealer then asked for an inspection by an expert, and Dr. 
Liautard was sent for. A confirmation of the diagnosis made 
by the State Inspector was the result of his visit. The animals 
were found in the following condition : 
The horse Ned had the characteristic discharge, ulcers aud 
glands of chronic glanders. 
Bill suffered from an enlargement of the maxillary glands, 
with slatey coloration of the mucous membrane of the nose, and 
farcinous buds round the neck. 
Jenny had fine ulcers under the left false nostrils, and a large 
chancre on the right side of the septum, the mucous membrane 
of which was infiltrated and glassy in appearance. 
Charley seemed to be the most affected. The glands were of 
enormous size; the discharge of the nostrils was very abundant 
and characteristic, and both sides of the septum were covered 
with chancres of chronic glanders. 
Flora , so far, showed no symptoms of the disease. She 
seemed to be perfectly healthy and was left by herself in quaran 
tine, while the other four animals were condemned to be de. 
stroyed.
