Certain glands between the branches of the lower jaw are affected in a peculiar way. Acute cases.—When the cases are acute, small tubercles de- velop rapidly on this mucous membrane and soon change to small ulcers which increase in size and even coalesce. Thus is developed the peculiar ulcer of glanders with its dirty gray base and over- hanging edges. The dis- charge from these ulcers is quite distinctly viscid. Very large ulcers and even rag- ged gutterlike excavations may develop, particularly on the nasal septum. The ulcers may heal, leaving light colored more or less star shaped scars. The fever may be se- vere in acute glanders, the temperature rising rapidly to 105 or even 107, and then be quite variable for a few days. There may be also persistent chills. There is apt to be a de- velopment of V-shaped areas of lung inflammation in the more acute cases. Occasionally there is a par- tial or apparent recovery from the acute symptoms and then the development of a chronic case. The lymphatics become involved. Certain enlarged glands may be found. These glands are located well up on the inside of the jaws and more or less adherent. Glanderous disease of these glands may usually be distinguished from other involvements, as for in- stance, in strangles (distemper) and laryngitis. In glanders they have a peculiar nodular feeling, which is not characteristic of other troubles. Chronic cases.—If the disease be chronic then these same symptoms in general develop less rapidlv.
