selves. In the dog, the wounds became inflamed and the sub- 
glossal ganglion swollen. 
Twenty days later the donkey was inoculated with the pus 
taken from the wounds of the dog. The symptoms of glanders 
made their appearance. After death all the lesions of glanders 
are found. 
SALYCILATE OP' SODA FN PNEUMONIA OF THE HORSE. 
Mr. Inarbol recommends the use of salycilate of soda in the 
treatment of pneumonia of the horse, 3v (five drachms) a day, 
in two doses. The result surpassed Ids anticipation. From the 
first day of the treatment, an improvement was noted in the pa 
tient, his respiration became easier and slower, his pulse better 
and fuller, the temperature lowered and an abundant diuresis took 
place. This improvement continued till the recovery of the ani¬ 
mal was completed. 
COOLING TREATMENT IN PNEUMONIA. 
Amongst several cases of pneumonia treated by cold external 
applications, Prof. Zangger of Zurich, presents two principle sub¬ 
jects. Ao. 1 is a fat and strong horse, admitted to the Hospital 
of the Veterinary School, with 37 respirations, 80 pulsations, a 
temperature of 40°7C. Damp and cold applications are placed 
round the trunk, covered with dry blankets. Thirty-six hours 
aftei, the lespiration is down to 18, pulsations 45, temperature 
38°4C. No. 2, a young and robust horse, is admitted, with all the 
symptoms of pneumonia. 36 respirations, 68 pulsations, temper¬ 
ature 41°9C. After damp and cold application, all the symptoms 
diminished. A few hours after there are but 23 respirations, 61 
pulsations, and the temperature is down 38°4C. This improve¬ 
ment kept on and the animal recovered.
