Commissioner Graham informs us that
the state veterinary surgeon has been in
the neighborhood of Danbury for a week
or two investigating the cases of alleged
CHAMBERS among the horses of that local
ity, and that the veterinary pronounced
the disease gleet. A few animals were
killed, and medicine for the disease was
secured by others who have sick horses.
No further trouble is expected from that
source. He describes the death of Peter
son, the Swede who took the disease from
drinking out of the same pail from which
the horses Stacked their thirst, he thinks,
as horrible beyond description.
