tlio morbid phenomena remained generally localized at the point 
of inoculation. Shortly after the operation, from three to seven 
days, one notices a redness appearing in the region; at the point 
of inoculation a small ulcer shows itself, cupuliform, granular, 
yellowish in its aspect, analogous to the chronic farcinous ulcer 
of horses. This wound secretes abundantly a very thin pus, 
oily, yellowish-gray, which often dries in scabs over the ulcer, 
which, nevertheless, continues secreting under this scab. 
The dog recovers quite rapidly from the effects of this inocu¬ 
lation, and the wounds, after increasing for several days, discon¬ 
tinue their growth, become rosy, their secretion by degrees dimin¬ 
ishing ; they cicatrize, and the virulency disappears. 
It is quite generally admitted that in glanders of the dog the 
lesion and virulency remain localized at the point of inoculation; 
it has been even stated that this was the rule, without exception. 
This is incorrect; for while it is true that the lesions do ordinarily 
appear only at the point of inoculation, it is not always so. 
In one dog inoculated on the forehead, I have seen ulcerous 
sores appear at the point of inoculation and sometimes after, 
another formed itself on the external face of the right thigh, 
then one on the back, but even with this generalization, the dis¬ 
ease ended and disappeared altogether, as I proved it afterwards, 
by inoculation and post mortem. Upon another dog inoculated 
behind the poll, I also observed ulcers at the point of the inoc¬ 
ulation, but also another on the back. Lastly, in the dog, and in 
the rabbit, I have observed that if the lesions may remain local¬ 
ized at the points of inoculation, it sometimes happens that the 
virulency is disseminated through the economy, or at least in the 
lymphatic system. I once transmitted glanders to a donkey by 
inoculating him with the product of the ganglion of the flank of 
a rabbit, which presented lesions only at the ears, where it had 
heed inoculated; I have also given glanders to a donkey by in¬ 
serting the pulp of a ganglion of the flank of a dog, inoculated 
near the shoulders, and which presented lesions only at that 
point. The virulency can then be generalized, though the lesions 
may remain localized. It thus seems that the virus of glanders 
may spread in the organization of the dog and sometimes in that
