This disease, as every one knows, Is

icated to man, also to most of the lower
animals. In the horse II OCCURS in an

chronic form. which is quite as much to
/ be dreaded as the acute form, or per
/ haps more so, as the SYMPTOMS are not
/ so readily recognized-it may exist for
/ a long time without being suspected by
any but an expert, and be mistaken for
almost any Othernasal discharge. Any
continuous discharge from either one
or both nostrils, be it ever so slight, Is
! to be looked or with suspicion, or even
an occasional slight discharge of blood
/ from a noStril. The lymphatic glands
on the inside OF the jaw bone are usual

| only one noStrii, the glands on the cor
responding side will be affected. An
animal may work and be in apparently
good health and condition for long
/ time with these symptoms, and yet be
Enthusiastically glandered, and equally as

man or other animals as If he had a
more acute form. The distinctive and

increase in quantity. be thicker, bloody
and have an exceedingly offensive smell.
/ The Emphatic glands on the inside Of
the Jaw bone will usually be, from the
first, enlarged and hard. One great
/ danger from this disease is its ready
j communicability to man. During the
summer of 1888, there were a great
many deaths in Illinois from this cause ;
and it is sure death. There is no known
remedy for that disease either in the
human or the lower animals. No treat
ment whatever should be attempted but
that the animal should be killed, the
/ carcass burned or buried, and every
/ possible means taken to prevent the
spread of the disease, by the destruction
or thorough cleansing of stables, stalls,
/ harness, etc; in fact ofevery thing that
can by any chance be capable of retain
ing or conveying the contagious virus.
