LATENT GLANDERS.

ted that she be brought to town and that I should see her. 
On the 6tli of December I visited her and found her in almost 
the same condition, with the exception that the discharge was 
more abundant and had then all the characteristic appearances of 
the nasal discharge of glanders. 
Tired of this state of affairs, though yet in hopes that I might 
be mistaken, the owner came to the conclusion to let me have 
her, to do with her what I thought proper. As it was a case 
presenting unusual interest, and desiring to have the students of 
the Veterinary College watch her for a short time, I had her 
placed in an isolated box stall of the hospital, and put alongside 
of her, and inoculated, an old horse. The following is an ex¬ 
tract from the report presented by one of the senior students— 
Mr. R. W. Foote—-of the history of the two animals from the 
day of admission to the time when they were destroyed. 
Symptoms in the morning:—.Bay mare—Temperature, 1021, 
pulse 38, respiration 12. Gland enlarged and adherent; discharge 
principally from the left side and slight from the right; has a 
short and moist cough; Schneiderian membrane healthy. She is 
prepared for a dose of physic. 
Dec. 11.—Temperature 102, respiration 13, pulse 30 and 
weak. 
Dec. 13.—Temperature 102, respiration 12, pulse 40 ; is 
purging well. 
Her companion, the grey gelding, was inoculated on the out¬ 
side of the left nostril, the right side of the upper lip and the 
Schneiderian membrane of the left nostril. The grey horse 
showed a temperature of 99#, pulse 41; did not count his respi¬ 
ration, which was emphysematous. 
The following are the symptoms presented by the two ani¬ 
mals afterwards. 
Dec. 13.— Bat Mare. —Evening : temperature 1021, respira¬ 
tion 17, pulse 56. Grey Gelding. —Evening: temperature 103!, 
pulse 42 ; no change in external aspect. 
Dec. 14.— Bay Mare. —Morning: temperature 1021, respira¬ 
tion 18, pulse 52. Evening: temperature 1011, respiration 17, 
pulse 52. Grey Gelding. —Morning: temperature 103, pulse
