LOOK OUT For CHAMBERS.
Its Symptoms rs Described in a Govern
$50 ment Report.

Its SymptOms rs Described in q Govern
ment Report.
There is in London an outbreak of
CHAMBERS so serious that in the hot
weather of the middle of August all
public drinking troughs in the affected
districts of that city were ordered closed,
greatly to the discomfort of the horses.
But the end justified this, for no disease
to which animals are subject is so loath-
some, so contagious or so dangerous as
this. 1t attacks all animals and man as
we'll, the contagion spreading by means
of the discharge from the nodes in the
nostrils and elsewhere.
In New York city there has been an
outbreak. In one week twenty-three
horses were walked out Of one street car
company's stables and killed by officers
of the board of health. The company
were careless, it is said, before the health
officers discovered the state of affairs in
their stables, and the contagion by that
time may have spread a thousand miles.
In the report of the United States bu-
reau of animal industry due space is
given to this subject. In spite of what
local horse doctors say, there is no per-
manent cure for CHAMBERS. The govern
ment's report details the symptoms of
both acute and chronic CHAMBERS. The
acute form is similar to the chronic, ex-
cept that the symptoms are more vio-
lent. The leading features Of the dis
ease, according to the report, are as fol-
lows:

Gle, which is a small node from the size of a
shot to that Of q small pea. which forms in the
mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
This may be just inside of the wings of the
nostrils or on the septum which divides the
one nasal cavity from the other and be easily
detected, or they may be higher in the nasal
cavities on the turblnated bones, or they may
form in the larynx itself or on the surface of
the trachea or deep in the lungs.
The tubercles, which are first red and hard
and consist of new connective tissue, soon
soften and become yellow; the yellow spots
break and we have a small ulcer the size of
the preceding tubercle, which has a gray,
dirty bottom and ragged edges, and is known
as a chancre. This ulcer pours from its sur
face a ~viscous, oily discharge similar to that
which we have seen In the farcy ulcer. The
irritation of the discharge may ~ulcerate the

bercles have formed in large numbers we may
have them causing an acute. Inflammation Of
the Schneiderian membrane, with a catarrhal
discharge which may mark the specific dis
charge, or that which comes from the ulcers
and the discharge of strangles or
simple inflammatory diseases.
The essential symptoms of CHAMBERS are the
tubercle, the chancre, the glands and the dis
charge. With the development of the tuber-
cles on the respiratory tract, according to
their number and the amount of eruption
which they cause, we may have a cough which
that of a coryza, a laryngitis, a
bronchitis u q broncho pneumonia, according
to the location Of the LESSONS. In chronic
CHAMBERS we have the same accessory symp-
toms which we have in chronic farcy, the
hemorrhage of the nose, the swelling of the
legs, the chronic cough, and in the entire horse
the swelling Of the t~esticles.
How the Burglar Was Reformed.
When Uriah Heep was in the model
prison, enjoying all the favcrs which the
system of reformation in vogue there con-
ferred upon it's recipients, he impaired to
I a company of visitors the important in
formation, 1T would be better for every
body if they got took up and was brought
here" A burglar, whom the church army
has enrolled in its ranks, is preaching
much the same doctrine. He is only forty
two years of age, and has spent seventeen
of them in Jail.
Four or five years ago he invented a new
implement for opening safes, which ulti-
mately led to the opening of his eyes. 1t
was an excellent instrument for the pur-
pose of gaining entrance to locked offices;
only the firsttime he brought it into opera
tion it stuck in the safe, and his attempts
to get it out made SO much noise that I
policeman heard him.
This caused him to be "took up" and to
that happy event he dates his present en-
joyment. He is now assisting the army's
work by preaching to members of his for
mer profession" how much better it
would be for their own good if they all al
lowed themselves to be took up"
Recently 'housebreakers have been ar
rested in unusual numbers. The police
force have hitherto received the credit of
these hauls, but doubts may now arise
whether it is not. really due to the work of
the converted burglar, who blesses the day
when his own invention led to his arrest
