GLANDERS IN ILLINOIS. 
affected by true glanders that I did not want to treat him any 
longer. The owner requested me to take him to my own stable 
to treat him; but 1 refused to do so. 
Accompanied by Mr. Detwiller, I saw this horse again on the 
Conway farm, on the 13th of March, 1883. Mr. Detwiller and 
myself urged Mr. Conway to kill the horse, upon my statement 
that he was glandered, and that he could never recover from the 
disease. The nose, lips and submaxillary space were enormously 
swollen: the nasal cavities studded over with ulcers, and, owing 
to the swelling, the horse was unable to eat. Mr. Conway re¬ 
fused to kill him, stating that the swelling was all due to decay¬ 
ing teeth, and that he could yet effect a cure of the horse. At 
that same time, I also examined two other horses, then on the 
Conway farm, and informed Mr. Conway and his family that 
these two horses were infected with glanders, and that if Mr. 
Conway would not kill them, he should at least keep them in a 
stable separate from his other horses. He laughed at me, saying, 
“ They have only a slight cold.” 
One of these horses I condemned on the 2nd of April, and he 
was shot on the 6th of the same month. The other horse was 
condemned by Dr. N. H. Paaren on the 13th, and was shot on 
the 14th of April. The Detwiller horse was shot on the 30th of 
March, by order of the] physicians who attended Mr. Welling¬ 
ton Conway, who meanwhile had become diseased with glanders 
himself. 
Clinical History of Two Fatal Cases of Contagious Glanders 
{Equinia Glandulosa ) in the Human Subject. 
By Geo. W. Remage, M.D. of Coleta, Ill. 
On Sunday, March 11th, I was called to see George Conway, 
aged 17 years and 23 days, son of Wellington Conway, a farmer, 
living about a mile and a half from Coleta, Genesee township, 
Whiteside County, Ill. 
He had considerable fever, complained of headache, and there 
was a diffused tumefaction on the forehead over the right frontal 
sinus. His symptoms resembled those of catarrhal fever, and an 
epidemic of that kind was at that time prevailing in this part of 
the country.
