a contagious disease afflicting horses, mules and asses and sometimes other domestic animals, though cattle, sheep and pigs are usually free from it. The disease is caused by a microbe and appears in different forms, though all animals afflicted with it usually present about the same characteristics. It is usually fatal, the animal dying in from eight days to three weeks. The chronic form, generally known as farcy, begins with the formation of little bunches or nodules under the skin, which terminate in ulcers. These ulcers occur usually on the neck and shoulders and inside the thighs. The disease affects the lungs and causes the nostrils to discharge a very offensive pus. The spread of glanders is usually due to infection from the pus and other discharges of the afflicted animal. No remedy has been discovered, and when the disease appears the only means of preventing its spread is to kill the diseased animal and bury or burn the carcass, then thoroughly disinfect the stables and all articles that have come in contact with the animal. Men have been known to acquire the disease by working over animals afflicted with it, and the symptoms are similar to those in the horse.
