J. P. KLENCH. 
No. 145.—Horse, six years old. Was cured of bronchic cough, 
and entered July 26, 1863, for glanders. Two bad glands, and 
numerous large ulcers on left side ; trephining; arsenical powders; 
died Aug: 7,1863. Remark: Many ulcers in nasal cavity, carbun- 
cular condition of blood; kidneys and liver affected; nothing in 
lungs. 
I greatly regret to have lost my notices on post-mortem exam¬ 
inations, as they would have been of great interest, and proven 
the correctness of my diagnosis in all the above cases. I can 
clearly remember to have found a good many horses with old, 
cicatrised ulcers in the nasal cavity, and will add that nearly all 
the glandered horses had a collection in one, two or all three sin¬ 
uses of the same side. 
The symptoms generally noticed first on these glandered 
horses, was a swollen gland ; exceptionally the nasal discharge 
was preceding the glanding a few days. 
As to the effect of the treatment described in this article, I 
must certainly acknowledge that it has given a very good satisfac¬ 
tion, when applied to the horses of this company. I never had 
an opportunity to try it on other horses placed in different cir¬ 
cumstance*. The main difficulty to obtain such an experience i 3 
found in the want of time, place and perseverance, which I had 
at my full disposition in this company, although I was never given 
a chance to continue the administration of arsenic to such horses 
as had improved so well by it, that the symptoms of glanders had 
entirely disappeared externally. This was due to an impossibility, 
or rather the unwillingness of the foreman to leave these horses 
at my disposition for a longer time, after they were again able to 
work, or at least judged to be so, although the majority of them 
could not stand heavy work, fatigue and change of temperature, 
which is sufficiently proven by the frequent and early relapses 
until death occurred. And indeed, is it not presumable that glan¬ 
dered deposits or formations which might take place in lungs, or 
any other viscera, require a longer time to be resorbed than nasal 
or cutaneous ulcers would need to heal up ? And it is just after 
all the external symptoms have disappeared, that a continuation 
of arsenic would in all probability act on the glands and internal 
organs, and effect a more complete cure, if possible.
