EXPERIMENT VI.

A faddle-horfe of the Limousin,

The 36th, I performed the operation of trepanning upon the former. The cavities were injected with lime-water; after-aged nine years, with the conwards, the injections were used which I have mentioned in the first and fecond experiment. I fufpended the ufe of the bolus, the evacuations being fo great, they made me apprehend a dif order in the ftomach.

I continued the injections till the 65th day. The running ap. peared and difappeared at different times, and at laft became conftant, and of a bad fort. As the animal fell away rapidly, I thought proper to kill it. On opening the body, nothing particular appeared, except an infinite number of little ulcers on the pituitary membrane. The finufes contained but little matter. The other horfe appeared to be radically cured; which I afcribed to the good habit of the animal's body, the fmall quan tity of the virus, its leffer degree of malignancy, and the fhort time it was allowed to ravage, rather than to the course of medicines. Befides, in thefe matters, a fingle fact cannot establish any thing.

EXPERIMENT V.

A faddle-horse, about eleven years old, newly attacked, as I was informed, with the glanders,

was

treated in the following

manner:

ift, He was let blood, confined to white water, and had several

firmed glanders, which had made fome progrefs, was put under the fame courfe of medicines as the preceding one, for ten weeks. At that period the remedies had worked no good effect: the difcharge was abundant, bloody, and foetid; the breathing became extremely laborious: in fhort, all the figns of death appeared, and the animal fhortly expired. On opening, the noftrils exhi bited the fame appearances which I had obferved in other horfes; but, in proceeding farther in the diffection of the mouth and windpipe, I perceived that the running proceeded in a great degree from the lungs, within which I found a collection of feetid pus, mixed with the humour of the bronchias, arifing from ulcera ations, with which that vif cera was attacked. I now thought that I had mistaken the real characteristic of the disease, and that the animal died of a confumption: but as it was equally poffible that the virus in the glanders had produced those effects, I fufpended my judgment, waiting by new experiments to elucidate it.
