TREATMENT OF GLANDERS AND FARCY 
489 
the gland is still there, and the horse is sent to work. No more 
relapse for the next two months of my service. 
No. 50—Stallion, seven years old. Entered May 22, 1863, 
for glanders. A bad, abundant nasal discharge on left side, coat 
bad and general condition very poor ; no gland, but Schneiderian 
membrane pale, showing black, dark-colored blood patches and a 
small ulcer in left nostril ; bad cough, repeating, deep, sonorous, 
dry, and indicating a deep lesion of the lungs. Given immedi¬ 
ately the English Medicine. June 5th—general condition about 
the same; but there is a slight swelling of right testicle, which is 
painful, while the testicle itself does not move on pressure; the 
testicular cord is also somewhat swollen; appetite poor. 
June 8th—Patient is getting worse; nasal mucous membrane 
covered with blotches; nasal discharge very bad, unilateral and 
abundant; no chancre to be seen ; all exterior signs and symp¬ 
toms, very unfavorable; testicle and its cord a little larger and 
very painful ; horse encounters the greatest difficulty in propell¬ 
ing the hind legs; general appearance very bad. Taking all these 
symptoms into consideration, I declare the horse incurable and 
advise to kill him. But the horse is young, and the Director 
wishes me to keep him at any cost, and try all I could, until he 
dies a natural death. So I gave him, besides the best and most 
substantial feed, oleum phosphoratum, fifty drops on June 11th, 
12th, 13th ; fifty-five drops on June 15th, 16th, 17th; sixty drops 
on June 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st; seventy drops on June 22d, 23d; 
eighty drops on June 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th ; one hundred drops 
on June 28th, 29th, 30th. On this day I noticed a slight im¬ 
provement in the condition of the horse ; sarcocele has become 
stationary ; coat a little better, and hair somewhat brighter; 
cough and nasal discharge, the same ; blotches on Schneiderian 
membrane less numerous; but the membrane under nasal wing is 
rough, red colored, injected and covered with miliary tubercles. 
A large, bad gland on left side. The phosphorus oil, so far used, 
had been old and weak; a new supply was obtained, and the 
horse was given sixty drops on June 1st, which quantity was grad¬ 
ually increased to seventy-five drops a day from June 1st to 15th.
