Description

Excerpt from Glanders One day the animals, as I have been informed by persons in the Government service, will have more food placed before them than they can possibly consume, and, probably for several days previous they have been on the verge of starvation, eager to de vour almost anything within their reach, not excepting the fences they were tied to. How then can anything else be expected, but a great many of them will die from disease of the bowels or stomach. Catarrhal affections are very naturally to be expected amongst a large number of horses exposed to the various changes of the weather; but do not a great many of these affections, for want of proper treatment, run into glanders That they do, I have not the shadow of a doubt; but as the government does not employ competent persons to examine the horses regularly, why the disease runs on; the glandered horse coming in contact with his associates transfers it to them, and thus the disease is spread throughout the camp. Furthermore than this, not only are the horses in danger of communicating the disease to their own species, but are in danger of transferring the disease to the per sons who have charge of them, and who little know the fearful risk they are incurring, of becoming inoculated by the poisonous matter. A simple scratch on the hand, should a portion of the glanded matter come in contact with it, would be sufficient to inoculate a person, the result of which would be, a most terrible death.
