liLAiipßftS AND FARCY.
From the ( London ) Sporting Magazine, for
January 1811.
The subject of glanders must always be
one of lively interest to the hunting and
racing sportsman: indeed, when we consid
er the direful consequences resulting from
that disease when it once breaks out in a
valuable stud, we know no other topic
which has a stronger claim upon our atten
tion. Avery few years have elapsed since
the allied diseases, glanders and farcy,
were considered as belonging exclusively to
the horse, the ass and the mule. The re
sults of scientific inquiry have overthrown
that opinion, and have proved that these af
fections are not confined to the quadrumina,
but that the human subject is as liable to
be affected as either of the animals above
named. It has moreover, been fully as
certained, that glanders and farcy can b°
transmitted from tnan to the horse by inoc
ulation, aud vice versa. These are practi
cal truths of much importance to the sports
man, truths which cannot be too well or too
extensively known, as we have lately seen
amply proved and illustrated at the “Eco
1c Veterinaire” of Alfort, near Paris.
Presuming that some information on these
subjects would prove useful as well as in
teresting to the readers of “The Sporting
Magazine,” we propose in the following ar
ticles to lav before them a succinct view of
facts and experiments relating to the dis
ease both in man and in the horse, and by
interlarding the subject with some incident
al matter, we hope to divest it of the dry
ness of detail—in a word, to blend togeth
er, as far as lies in our power, the utile ct
dulcc. I
M. Waldinger, veterinary surgeon at Vi
enna, was the first to direct attention to the
liability of man to be affected with glan
ders. He states “that the greatest precau
tion is necessary in going about glandered
horses, or those that died from glanders or
farcy, as the severest injury and even
death often arise from inoculation.”
M. Lorin published some objections
shortly after on the same subject in which
he mentions that a groom had his fingers
affected with inflamation in consequence of
operating on a farcied horse : tumors pre
cisely similar to those observed in the horse
were soon developed in this man’s limbs;
they were cut out, and he was ultimately
cured by filling the wounds with small
pieces of lint or cotton steeped in turpen
tine.
Sidon, another veterinary surgeon, pub
lished a paper about the same time, in
which he stated that glanders was trans
missible from the horse to man, causing the
worst kind of ulcers; and mentions an in
stance where a horse took the disease from
a farrier who had a glandered sore on his
hand, which came in contact with the ani
mal while he was giving it a ball—both
died of the disease.
We might multiply instances of a simi
lar bearing from foreign sources, but these
will sutlice.
We shall now briefly narrate facts which
came under our own immediate observa
tion.
A groom named Frost slept in a stable
at Paris occupied by a glandered horse.
Some days after the death of the animal,
l’rost was attacked with the same disease,
which was characterized by pustular and
gangrenous sores over the body, in the nose
and throat, below the ears, on the glans and
on the feet. He died on the 12th of last
February. On the evening of Frost’s
death, a small quantity of matter was col
lected on watch glasses from the gangre
nous sores beneath the ear, on the fore-arm,
and from the back and shoulder. A foun
dered mare was immediately inoculated by
a veterinary surgeon with the different
portions of matter.
First, at the right nostril he inoculated
the matter by three punctures, two of which
were within the nostril and one external:
the two first punctures gave rise to a weep
ing of blood ; but the other produced
scarcely any. Second, on the white part
or conjunction of the right eye he applied a
small quantity of the matter. Third, at the
internal and upper part of the right buttock
he inoculated the matter by three punc
tures. Fourth, at the internal part of the
right arm pit he also inserted the matter by
three punctures. The left side of the an
imal was inoculated ki a similar manner.
M.M. Leblanc, Dupuy, Vigia, and Desir
gontlemen belonging to the Veterinary
College, were present at the inoculation of
the horse. A diary of the different results
was kept.
On the 13th and 14th no appreciable
change could be observed in the state of
the parts inoculated. On the evening of
the 15th at 7 o’clock, slight circular and
circumscribed redness and swelling were
observable round the punctures on the
right buttock: at the centre of the swell
ing a depression was seen corresponding
to each puncture: there was a painful
swelling in the region of the left buttock
where the punctures had been made.
The circumference of the wings ofthe left
nostril were a little tumefied; there oozed
a small quantity of pale colored fluid from
the internal wing; there was also effused
a small quantity of serum from the internal
wing ofthe right nostril; but the circumfer
ence ofthe punctures was not so swollen.
The pulse was natural, forty-eight pulsa
tions in a minute.
On the 16th, at seven in the morning, no
change was observed. In the evening the
symptoms of inoculation were beginning to
be marked.
17th.—At eight in the morning the tume
faction of the punctures was increased; the
tumors are more hot, harder and more pa^n
ful. On the side of the upper lip, near the
angle of the mouth, two elevated bands
were abserved about an inch in thickness,
elongated, irregular, and slightly painful.
The left eyelids arc greatly swollen, and
the conjunction red. The air expired by
the animal has a disagreeable odor, and the
nostrils are smeared with fluid. The pulse
still natural; the animal cats well.
18th.—At seven in the morning: the no
dulated tumors ofthe right buttock are uni
ted by a band of lesser ones, very hot and
very painful: there flows from the nostrils
a fluid more colored and more abundant
than was yet observed. Now mark the ra
pid advanceofthe disease.
19th.—The circumference of the punc
tures in the nostrils appears more tumefied,
especially on the left side; the respiration
is more difficult; all the tumefied parts are
very painful; the animal eats very little and
that with difficulty.
20th, morning.—Exasperation of all the
1 symptoms; the band on the upper lip is
I greatly increased, and very painful; all the
tumors are circumscribed, and terminate
abruptly, precisely like those peculiar to
farcy ; the animal with much difficulty- is
enabled to open her mouth to take food.
21st.—The symptoms of injection were
still more marked, and the local pain
greatly increased. The disease still pro
ceeded steadily in its course for some days;
and on the twenty-first day from the period
of inoculation, the unfortunate animal was
killed, after having presented all the char
acteristics of glanders and farcy. After
death the diseased portions of the horse
were excised, and on careful examination
were found to be exactly the same as those
commonly- found in glandercd animals.
Several useful inferences may be drawn
from the foregoing detail. In the first
place, it proves beyond a doubt that it was
glanders the man died of, as a horse oth
erwise healthy was impregnated with that
disease by- the inoculation of matter taken
from Prost after death. Every one knows
that the horse usually- takes the disease,
without being inoculated, by- contagion,
as it is called; but until the foregoing in
quiry was instituted, it was believed that
the human subject could not take glanders
without inoculation. The reader will bear
in mind that the man Prost merely slept in
a stable where died a glandered horse,
and, further than this had no connexion
whatever with animals so diseased; hence
we may- reasonably conclude that this un
fortunate man took the disease by contagion
and not by inoculation. This conclusion
should serve as a warning to all—to gentle
men as well as grooms, ostlers, farriers,
ct hoc gonus omne —how careful and cau
tious they should be when necessity obliges
them to have any connexion with glandered
horses.
About the same period, or shortly after,
M. Leone, a veterinary surgeon to a dra
goon regiment, twenty-nine years of age,
and in perfect health, had to open a farcied
abscess developed in a horse belonging to
his regiment. After the operation, he intro
duced his hand into the cavity, which was
covered with matter, in order to explore the
extent of the sore; unfortunately he had at
the time a slight scar or abrasion on the in
dex finger of his hand, which changed its
appearance in a few days: it increased in
size, became very painful, and covered
with fungus like growths. The wound
was cauterized, but did not heal for three
months. Three days after the operation,
and at the same time that the sore on the
finger was advancing, M. L. recognized
the presence of several hard painful tumors
like those of farcy developed at the inside
of the left elbow: soon after, the joint itself
became painful and swollen; an abscess
formed, and was opened; others succeeded;
fistulous sores were established, and to this
day the arm is still diseased. Six Weeks
after the operation, the right knee-joint
became painful and swollen; the tumors
here did not break, but the disease attacked
the instep and foot, which were swollen and
painful; tumors formed, and soon broke,
and still remain open. M. L. had the as
sistance of several physicians, but without
any success. He alleges that lie knew
many veterinary surgeons who were afflict
ed with the same unfortunate malady de
rived from the same source. The forego
ing is an example of inveterate chronic far
cy.
Very recently we have seen in this me
tropolis two instances of men suffering
from farcy and glanders: one was a groom,
the other a farrier. The former was ta
king care of a glandered horse, and had a
small puncture on one of his fingers at the
time, which soon began to throb, and on ex
amining it found a dark spot round the
puncture; swelling of the second joint of
the same finger soon followed, and thence
passed on to his arm ; so rapid was it in its
course, that he was obliged to cut the
sleeve of his coat to enable him to with
draw the arm at night; this broke and ul
cerated, and shortly after the left leg began
to swell and feel hard and knotty. Al
though this man suffered from incessant
pain and want of sleep, it is worth remark
ing, that the only thing which seemed to
cause him any anxiety was the fear (to use
his own expression) that “he had given the
disease to a horse that was perfectly sound
when he went to attend it, hut soon became
glandered .” His own sufferings seemed
to be lost in this idea.
These are melancholly details, but is it
not better that they should be known?
They lead us irresistibly to the following
general conclusions —first that a man is li
able to the infection of glanders, a disease
hitherto supposed to be peculiar to the
horse, the ass and the mule; —second that
farcy, which is only a modification ofglan
ders, may co-erftst with that disease, as has
been proved"l>y inoculating the virus of the
two dieases; as with farcy you may pro
duce glanders, and vice versa:-— third, that
inoculation is not absolutely necessary for
the production of glanders or farcy, as
sometimes the simple cohabitation with
glandered animals seems to produce these
diseases effectually, from which we are led
to infer that it is contagious:—fourth, that
glanders, in its severe form, seems to
bean incurable malady, both in man and
the horse.
Prophylactic measures, Ac.—Although
it is very true that sportsmen —that gentle
men themselves—rarely meddle with glan
dercd horses, it l>y no means follows that
they should not possess information which
might be useful for those in their servioe who
may he obliged to do no; and as there is no
cure for glanders, every precaution should
he taken to guard against that memento mo
ri disease. The following simple meas
ures are those which we can recommend
front considerable experience. Whenever
an animal is suspected of being glandered,
the groom or person attending it should
make a. strong solution of alum, and keep it
by him in the stable as oftAt as he has oc
casion to go near the horse, to dress his
sores, open an abscess, remove the halter,
or administer medicine, he should immerse
his hands in the alum solution, and keep
them there for some moments; if there is
a cut on his hand it should be carefully
covered with an adhesive plaster previous
ly. This is not a mere quack remedy and
anatomists know that well; for prior to ex
amining a brain, the most dangerous part
of the dead human subject, they use this
very remedy in the same way. Alum is
an astringent, and by this property it can
for a certain time stop the pores of the
skin of the hand, and consequently prevent
any absorption of poisonous matter from ta
king place. Perhaps other astringents,
as sulphate of copper, would answer as
veil, hut alum is cheaper, easier managed,
less dangerous and equally efficacious.

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION
A FULL REPORT OF THE
GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY OF TIIF
©T iATE
THE Legislature, at their last session, deem
ed it expedient to discontinue the salary of
the State Geologist, in consequence of the em
barrassed finances of the State. By this unex
[*cted movement, the subscriber is deprived of
the means of completing the survey of the State,
on the original plan: if done at all, it must be
at individual risk and expense.
It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en
lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following
out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and
pursued with unremitting energy to the present,
the State has been contributing her inite, hum
ble as it may be on the part of her ;igent, to the
cause of general science in our country, and the
advancement of intellectual improvement among
her citizens, in accordance with other States of
the Union. There is but one alternative. In the
present situation of the survey, the work must
either be abandoned and the important informa
tion obtained by four years investigation of the
Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, or the
subscriber must depend for support, on individ
ual patronage. He is determined to make an ef
fort for the benefit and honor of his adopted State,
to proceed with the survey. From former ex
perience of the unbounded liberality and gene
rous hospitality of his fellow citizens, in differ
ent parts of the State, he is confident that, in
making an appeal to their sympathy and patron
age, it will not be made in vain.
That a complete survey may be made of the re
maining counties of the State, and the whole
consolidated and published for the information
and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is
most respectfully solicited. A work of this kind,
is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising
an area of sixty thousaiul square miles, being
destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or
history of the same. A majority of the citizens
must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the
rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci
ties of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber has been, by four years labor, as
State Geologist, in different parts of the State,
in collecting materials for a complete report of
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to
meet the approbation of his fellow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising from subscription tor the work
shall be appropriated to the completion of the
survey of the remaining counties of the State,
and that they shall be finished as they will be
needed for publication.

ABBEVILLE
MINERAL SPRINGS.
l THIS ESTABLISHMENT is
now m complete order for the recep
tion of visitors, and is extensively
provided with every accommodation
and comiort which persons in search of health or
recreation, can desire. Mr. and* Mrs. Law how,
who are charged witii its superintendence, are
eminently qualified to give satisfaction, and the
Directors can promise that as good a Table and
as clean and commodious Rooms will lie furnish
ed, as are to be had at any watering place in the
United States. These SPRINGS are situated
in a healthy and romantic region in the North-
Western corner of Abbeville District, near the
Anderson line, and the place is as perfectly ex
empted from autumnal levers as anyplace in our
Mountains. The waters are confidently believ
ed to be equal to any in the United States, in all
cases of chronic disease of the liver and other
glands, and #f chronic inflammation in any part
of the system; i.i cases of dyspepsia and sick
head-ache they have been singularly efficacious,
having invariably given relief whenever ade
quateiy tried. In these cases they may be al
most considered a specific, as well as in diseases
of the skin and urinary organs. A HACK will
be regularly run during the Season from Abbe
ville C. 11., which is 24 miles distant, to carry
passengers coining to that place in the Stage.
BV THE DIRECTORS.
I hereby certify from personal observation,
that the water of the Abbeville Mineral Springs
is singularly serviceable in all cases of chronic
inflammation and glandular obstructions. It
does not appear to possess any highly stimulating
or direct tonic properties, but imparts tone to the
whole system indirectly by its wonderful effect
in wearing out inflammation, and in correcting
the secretions of all the glands of the body. A
few Summers ago, I sent a patient to the Springs
laboring under chronic gastretis, which I found
very difficult to treat to advantage, and to my sur
prise the case was speedily cured by the use of
the water alone. Subsequently to the above
case, I sent another patient to the Springs who
was reduced very low by uterine obstruction and
chronic inflammation, with a pulse up to about
120 beats in a minute; she was soon entirely
restored to health, by a light diet and the use of
the water without anv Medicine whatever.
A. B. ARNOLD, M. D.
Lowndsville, S. C, April 3d, 1841.
I hereby certify from personal experience, that
the Abbeville Mineral Springs Waters are ex
cellent for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints. I
was taken there in the last stages of Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, when given out of all hopes
of living, both by my relations and several Physi
cians who had attended me; I stayed at the
Springs six or seven weeks each year for three
years, and now I am able to attend to the most of
my domestic affairs. I consider the Abbeville
Mineral Springs preferable to any of the East
Tennessee Waters, for I had tried them well pre
vious to attending the above said Springs.
