A NOTE ON GLANDERS. 
By It. S. Huidekopek, M.D., Y.S. 
Our colleague, Dr. J. P. Klencli, commenced in the January 
number of the American Veterinary Review, an article “ Con¬ 
cerning the Treatment of Glanders.” f followed it closely and 
with interest, as it is a subject of importance to the veterinary 
profession and to all owners of solipeds, as well as being a 
subject which enters into the domain of public hygiene, in the pro¬ 
tection of our own lives. The extracts from the journal of Dr. 
Klench were of great value, as he showed that, although horses 
which were given rest and a good tonic treatment would tempo¬ 
rarily present the signs of a “ favorable ” or a “ pretty favorable” 
termination of their disease, yet they almost always relapse into 
the visibly glandered condition when they are again put to work.
