Farcy \Far"cy\, n. [F. farcin; cf. L. farciminum a disease of
   horses, fr. farcire. See {Farce}.] (Far.)
   A contagious disease of horses, associated with painful
   ulcerating enlargements, esp. upon the head and limbs. It is
   of the same nature as glanders, and is often fatal. Called
   also {farcin}, and {farcimen}.

   Note: Farcy, although more common in horses, is communicable
         to other animals and to human beings.

      cutaneous surface in farcy, due to the obstruction and
      inflammation of the lymphatic vessels, and followed by
      ulceration. --Youatt.
