GLANDERS IN ILLINOIS. 
No. 11.—Gray mare, owned by George W. Homage, M. D., 
of Coleta. Manifested infiltration of the nasal mucous membrane 
on both sides; together with a slight puckered roughness ; granu¬ 
lar aspect of the inferior surfaces of the aim of the nose ; also, 
some characteristic enlargement of the lymphatic submaxillary 
glands on the left side. History:—Dr. Hemage bought this grey 
mare, at three years of age, of Wellington Conaway, in the fall of 
1881. Soon afterwards there appeared an enlargement of the 
submaxillary lymphatic glands, with subsequent suppurating ab¬ 
scess. After the abscess had healed she was apparently well. Ex¬ 
posing her to stormy and wet weather she caught cold and dis¬ 
charged very profusely from both nostrils. Mr. Conaway took 
her back for treatment, on or about the 1st of December, 1881, 
allowing her to run at large among his other horses. In the spring 
of 1882, she was extremely poor in flesh; but she was allowed to 
remain on the Conaway farm until the first week in November, 
when the owner took her home, and found her not entirely free 
from a nasal discharge. At the present date, April 14th, 1883, 
she is in fair flesh. Ordered secluded; not to be used by the doc¬ 
tor for any purpose whatever during sixty days, or longer, if nec- 
cessary, and not to be sold or otherwise disposed of.

Wellington Conaway. No. 13.—Bay mare, aged fourteen ; same 
owner. No. 14.—Bay gelding, aged five years ; same owner. 
No. 15.—Old bay horse, broken winded ; same owner. No. 16. 
—Sorrel gelding, aged two years ; same owner, No. 17.—Sor¬ 
rel gelding, aged one year ; same owner. 
History Nos. 12 to 17, inclusive, were continually exposed 
to the glandered and condemned horses, during the past eight 
months, or longer, by running at large on the owner’s farm. 
While none of these six animals shows any decided symptoms of 
glanders at present, they are, however, ordered to be kept seclud¬ 
ed, under surveillance, and the widow of the late Wellington Con¬ 
away is ordered not to sell or otherwise dispose of them during 
sixty days, or longer, if found necessary.
