Mr. Coleman says he has tried the various preparations of arsenic, antimony, copper, mercury, zinc, aconite, digitalis, hemlock, henbane, hellebore, nightshade, etc, in glanders, without any specific or curative effect. Mr. Youatt considers it useless to attempt the cure of glandered horses; but that farcy in its early stages and mild form may be successfully treated. Mr. Blaine says, " All the mercurials have been used with benefit in farcy; but they must be discontinued as soon as the mouth is affected, or sickness, loss of appetite, etc, produced." Mr. Finlay Dun says glanders is incurable, and recommends immediate slaughter. He afterwards adds, that life may be prolonged by generous diet; and further recommends sulphate of copper and arsenic.
