LATENT GLANDERS.

larynx removed. All over the surface of the right lung were 
white spots, granular in appearance, projecting and hard to the 
touch; the anterior portion having these in greater number. The 
surface of the left lung had the same appearance, excepting that 
the tubercular deposits were not so numerous. Some portions of 
the lungs were emphysematous. On cutting into the lung tissue, 
nodules were found all through its substance, and many of them, 
being cut into, showed little collections of pus. These little 
bodies varied in size from very minute to the size of a bean. 
The lung substance was easily torn and could be readily punc¬ 
tured with the finger. The bronchial tubes being opened were 
found all healthy and free from ulceration, but containing here 
and there a small amount of muco-purulent discharge. In the 
trachea no lesions were found, but on the right side of the lar¬ 
ynx in the ventricle existed a larger ulcer, while smaller ones 
were detected scattered upon the mucous membrane. Lymphatic 
ganglia of the trachea were much enlarged. On antero-pos- 
terior section of the head, a little to one side of the median line, 
there was presented to view in the left nasal cavity the turbinated 
bones extensively covered with ulceration, both externally and 
internally; the upper portion of the nasal turbinated being 
filled with suppuration. On the internal surface of the same 
bone existed a small granuloma hanging somewhat in the cavity 
of the nasal fossa. On the left side of the septum nasi many 
ulcerations were found near the upper border and the sigmoid 
portion. The chancres of this cavity had all the appearance of 
acute ulceration and their development was probably excited by 
the debilitated condition of the patient following the severe 
purging she had been subjected to. The right nasal cavity was 
free from ulceration, but showed beautiful swelling and engorge¬ 
ment of the lymphatics, which appeared like farcinous cords 
running: under the mucous membrane. The sinuses were free 
from suppuration or ulcer. 
What now will become of the colt ? So far he is healthy and 
robust. Nothing in him indicates that he is likely to break down 
and will have to be destroyed as glandered. Is it possible that 
he may develop into a fine horse which, however, when the time
