Dr. Barham, of Truro, reports a case of glanders in the Veterinarian , 
of 1840, in the person of Joseph Pascoe, aged twenty-two, resulting in 
death. 
A young man, named P. Kelly, aged twenty, was admitted into 
Richmond Hospital, on the 26th of August, 1838. On admission his ‘ 
face presented that peculiar aspect which is so characteristic of glanders; 
the left half was very much swollen, tense, and shining, the redness 
fading away gradually, and becoming lost in the surrounding integu¬ 
ments. He stated that he had always been healthy, and when questioned 
as to the nature of his occupation, said that he had been employed for 
the last four months in attending horses that were glandered. He died 
on the 29th. 
Mr. Rocher, medical student at the hospital of Necker, was charged 
with the dressing of a person affected, first, with chronic farcy, and sub¬ 
sequently with acute glanders, under which he died. In a few days Mr. 
Rocher showed evidence of the disease, and died glandered, sixteen 
days from the commencement of the disease. 
An eminent English physician says : “ I was called upon to attend 
a man named Andrew Foot, aged thirty-six, who presented all the 
symptoms of glanders. I could not discc er any appearances of his 
having been inoculated, but having seen a glandered horse some time 
since, and thinking the above unfortunate case so much resembled that 
of this horse, I w 7 as induced to inquire of the owner whether there "was 
anything the matter with either of his horses, when he told me that one 
of them was laid up with a bad cold. On examining the animal it 
proved to be a decided case of glanders. The horse died in ten days 
afterwards ; Mr. Foot died also.” 
In the hospitals at Paris, according to the accounts of the medical 
journals, the cases of glanders among men have been less frequent than 
in any preceding years. Sidon, a veterinary surgeon, published a paper 
in France, in which he stated that glanders was transmissible from the 
horse to man , causing the worst kind of ulcer s. He mentions an instance 
in which a horse was affected by the disease from a farrier, who had a 
glandered sore on his hand, which came in contact with the animal 
while he was giving it a ball. The man and horse both died with the 
disease. 
A groom named Provost, slept in a stable, at Paris, occupied by a 
glandered horse. Some days after the death of the animal, Provost was 
attacked with the same disease, and died. 
Mr. Hammerton, surgeon to the Castletown Dispensary, has placed
