No. 4.—Grey gelding, twelve or fifteen years old; does not 
eat well; has several small, circumscribed, nodular tumors on the 
upper lip, and on the side of the face. No enlargement of the 
submaxillary lymphatics. 
Treatment :—Prescribed arsenical tonics and alteratives. 
On June 3rd, found : 
No. 1 had several small glanderous nodules appearing on the 
nasal septum; losing flesh rapidly. 
No. 2 had swelling on the right side of the face, increasing, 
and several small, circumscribed tumors had made their appear¬ 
ance. 
No. 3 had several of the nodular tumors, becoming soft; 
opened one of them and cauterized the cavities. 
No. 4. The tumors on the lip had formed abscesses, which 
were opened, and more abscesses found in process of forma¬ 
tion ; the submaxillary lymphatics on the left side now also were 
somewhat enlarged. The abscesses were cauterized. 
Internal treatment continued, and prescribed nasal injection 
of a weak solution of chloride zinc, to be used on horse No. 1, 
daily. 
On June 5 th, all four cases about the same, except No. 1, 
which now manifested unmistakable symptoms of glanders. 
On June 10th No. 1 was ordered to be destroyed, together 
with his harness, halter, &c., and to be buried; all of which was 
immediately carried out by the owner. 
No. 2. The submaxillary lymphatic glands of the right side 
enlarged to the size of a hen’s egg, very sensitive, no evidence of 
suppuration : small tumors on the right side had now undergone 
suppuration and rupture; the latter were cauterized. Pre¬ 
scribed ungt. hydrarg. biniodid. to be applied to the enlarged 
submaxillary glands. 
No. 3. Ulcers presenting a healthy granulation ; very slight 
enlargement of the right submaxillary lymphatic glands. 
No. 4. Ulcers doing well; glands about the same as on the 
third of June. 
Visited again on the 14th, 19th and 27th, and found all grad¬ 
ually improving, except No. 2, which I considered so badly
