There is in London an outbreak of
chambers so serious that IN d not
3oather of the middle OF August all
nnbl1c drinking troughsm the anecOe6
districts of that city were ordered
closed. gr, atty Co the discomfort or the
horse. But the end justified this, for
no disease to which animals are SUD-
loot ia 40 loathsome, so contagious or
% dangerous as this. It attacks all
animals and man as well, the con
tagion spr aiding by means OF the dis
charge from the nodes In the nOstr1ls
and elsewhere
Tn 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
were careless, it IS said, be-
fore the health officers discovered the
state of affairs In their stables, and
the contaglon by that time may have
spread a Thousand miles. In the report
of the United States Bureau of Animal
Industry due space IS given to the sub
iect. In spite of what local horse doc
tors say. there Is no permanent cure
for CHAMBERS. The governments report
details the symptoms OF both acute and
chronic CHAMBERS. The acute form Is
similar TO the chronic, except that the
SYMPTOMS are more violent. The lead
ing features of the disease, according
to the report, are as follows:
In chronic CHAMBERS we have first the
tubercle, which is a small node from
the size of a shot to that Of a small pea,
which forms In the mucous membranes
of the respiratory tract This may be
inst inside of the wings Of the nOstrils
or on the septum which divides q n
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 lary NIX
itself or on the surface of the lrachea
or deep in the lungs.
The tubercles, which are first red
and hard and consist of new connective
tissue, Dol soften and become yellow;
the yellow spots break and We have a
small ulcer the size of the preceding
tubercle, whi;h has a gray, dirty bot
tom and ragged edges, and Is known as
a chancre. This ulcer pOurs from Its
surface a ~viscous, oily discharge simi-
lar to that we have seen in the farcy
ulcer. The irritation of the discharge
may ulcerate the lining mucous mem
brane of the nose, causing serpentine
cutters with bottoms resembling those
of the chancres themselves. If the
tubercIes have formed in large mum
bers we may have them causing an
acute Inflammation of the Scenelderlan
membrane, with a catarrhal discharge
which may mark the specific discharge,
or that which comes from the ulcers
and resembles the discharge of strangles
or simple inf 4mmatOry diseases
The essential symptoms of CHAMBERS
are the tubercle, the chancre, the
glands and the discharge. With the
development of the %tuDercles IN the
respiratory tract, according to their
number and the amount of eruption
which they cause, we may have a
cough which resembles that Of a
cory Ia, a laryngitls, a bronchitis or a
broncho pneumonia, according TO the
location Of the LESSONS. In chronic
CHAMBERS we have the same accessory
symptoms Which we have in chronic
farcy the hemorrhage of the nose, the
swelling of the legs, the chroni cough,
and in the entire horse the swelling of
the teetICles.
