ulcers which had recently healed; no swelling of sub-maxillary 
glands ; no constitutional disturbance ; appetite and spirits good. 
Recovery prompt and complete. 
Case 3.—Two horses at Berkley, N. J. In these cases the 
outbreak was confined to the heels of the hind legs. The attack 
came on in a night. Considerable heat around the coronets, 
slight lameness. Quick recovery. 
Case 4.—Ahorse in Mullica Hill, N. J.,under treatment by a 
Philadelphia veterinarian for purpura hsemorrhagica. The owner 
said: “ the hind legs and face had been badly swollen, the legs 
( breakin ’ below the fetlocks when the swelling subsided, at the 
time of my visit, the sores on the heel looked healthy, the legs 
were somewhat swollen, and there was considerable swelling in 
the region of the face and nose. The appetite was good, the 
sub-maxillary glands slightly swollen, the temperature normal ; 
none of the discoloration of the visible mucous membranes so 
characteristic of purpura. 
Case 5.—A stable of horses in Mantua, N. J. In the horses I 
examined, the disease was confined to the nose, and was in the 
stage of scab. Every animal was attacked, one having ulcers on 
the fetlock. 
Case 6.—All the horses in the stables of the Mullica Hill 
Stage Co. There also the disease was confined to the nose. In 
some cases there was a little purulent discharge from the nostrils, 
in others none. In one white-faced horse, the eruption was de¬ 
cidedly pustular, but where the skin is pigmented the pustulation 
cannot be affirmed. 
Diferential Diagnosis. —From purpura , by the absence of 
petechia and haemorrhage, the non-elevation of temperature, the 
percentage of recovery. 
From jarcy .—By the character of the pus, the fact that 
the outbreak is confined, in most cases, to parts of the body 
where the lymphatics are sparse, the readiness with which heal¬ 
ing takes place, and the appearance of the hair, which is glossy 
and lies the right way. The ulcers are distinguishable from 
those of pemphigus, (which in some cases, they greatly resemble), 
in that they heal readily without treatment. The only cases where
