Last week | spoke of the conditl...
the glands between the bones oG .
lower Jaw. This week ! shall speak
the nature of the discharge from
n~o~trilS. when any IS present. Rom.
icr. that 4 horse may rave @luaI..-
without an enlargement Of the glands.
which | have spoken of. or. wit1auf
discharge from the n~ostrils, although
is highly probable that ut some stage
the disease. generally when fully d..
yc!oLed. one or both Of this conditions
exist.
Now, the discharge from the uo~trls
in giandcrS is Of Il peculiar nature: u.
expert would detect it at once, and yet
there are other diseases III which tho.r
is i discharge, which would easily ..
confoundcd With That Of CHAMBERS, IE
farmers and horse owners generally.
There is 4 discharge from the nO~tr.'-
in the following diseases: Glandrr-.
nasal ylcct chronic catarrhl. d~isteIup,r
diseased tooth or teeth in upper jaw.
>uperative pneumonia. There might ho
a discharge in on" or two other disease.
but they are not of interest TO U~ .u
discussing this subject.
We Will first discuss the discharge ur
CHAMBERS. 1t is Of Il yellow color, of ti.
consistency of melted glue: it sticks u#
around the edge of the noStril or n@ostrja.
it is not necessarily of Il large amount.
and is sometimes. but seldom. mixed
with blood. This discharge comes from
the lining membrane of the nose. which
j. liberated. If il is bloody. il IS caused
by ono Of these ulcers eating 50 deep iulO
the lining Of the nose that it causes n
blood vessel TO burst: consequently we
generally see Il bloody discharge toward
the end Of the disease.
Ih" discharge Of nasal @lept tcatarrhl
may be from one, or both n%ostrils. and i
due [" a chronic iniiammatio of the lin
ing membrane OF the nose: if it smells
badly there Is disease of the bones, or
cartilage OF the nc,striI.
i runs al the time, and gets worse
all the time; il does not stick to the
edge Of the noStril or noStriIs; when Il
horse has been fed III grass the dis
charge Will usually he # Il green color.
here : usually no swelling Of tho
glands, between the bones of the lower
jaw.
Tl" discharge Of diStcmper is from
both n~o>tril~. II is 1T first Watering. lint

from the i~ostrils III humps.
1t does no stick around the edge Of
the n~cstrils. that is not al around, with
regularity. rs il docs III Chambers.
1t does not smell badly. 1t is well f.
here that the discharge Of
Chambers rarely smells badly.
After the abSccSs under tlIr Jaw
breaks, or is opened, the discharge from
the nostrlls usually stops, although it
run on into chronic catnrrh.
When Il tooth Of the upper jaw is
diseased. the bone also. that forms =
socket for the tooth. often becomes dis
cased, and the pus lcorruptionl finds its
way into the cavity Of the nose, and ont
through the nostriIS.
Inc smell of it is most oifcnSiye: if i

the case III Chambers. although il is
