is ci-itir'nlly discussed in cnniiciiion with a Iiildioi^raiiliy iiirludiii^' imlilica- 

 tiiiiis down to I lie end oT I'.Mir.. A special feature of the work is a discussion 

 of the veterinary police nioasures a(l()i)ted in eontrollluf; these diseases in 

 various eounti-ies of Kuropo and in the United States. Mention is also made 

 of the eonteidion of W. (Jrijis that liaciHits Niiisriiticns is not the cause of 

 swine ])la.irue. 



The discussions of both swine plague and hog cholera are arranged along the 

 same line and include the etiology, pathology, and methods of inf(>ction and 

 conlrf)! of the disease. Furthermore, an account is given of the ])roI)lenis of 

 mixed infection and differtMitial diagnosis between swine piague and hog 

 cholera and methods cd" innnunization to these diseases. 



Hog cholera, 10. Lkclainciie (Rev. G(hi. M6(l. VH., H (1!)0G), No. 92. pp. 

 Jlll-JiZS). — The author calls attention to tlie fact that in the early history 

 of the study of this disease it was sn])posed to include two forms caused by 

 two specifically distinct bacteria. \t present swine plague and hog cholera 

 are considered distinct by all investigators, and recently the demonstration of 

 another form of hog cholera not due to any known micro-organism has com- 

 jdicated the ]irolilem so that further investigation is necessary. 



Bacillus pyocyaneus as a cause of rhinitis and hemorrhagic meningitis in 

 hogs, F. KosKE {All). K. Gsndhtsamt., 23 (1906). No. 2, pp. 5-'/2-.553).— Young 

 pigs are frequently affected with a disease resembling snuffles in sheep. 

 According to the author's investigations Bacillus piiocyaneuK nmy be found in 

 such cases, and in inoculation experiments it was determined that this organism 

 is pathogenic for young pigs and may produce the disease. 



The horse; its treatment in health and disease, J. W. Axe {London:

 .'/, pp. XII +1-160, pis. 9, flffs. 6'//).— In preparing this work on the horse the 

 editor has secured the assistance of a number of experts to prepare different 

 technical parts. The work as a whole is intended to contain such information 

 as may be needed by horsemen with regard to the breeding, care, and treatment 

 of the horse. 



The anatomy of the horse is described with particulai- reference to its bearing 

 on health and disease. The same may be said with i-egard to the physiological 

 discussion. The larger part of the work is occupied with a detailed accoimt of 

 the diseases conunonly .known to affect the horse. The illustrations serve to 

 show the l)est tyi)es of horses, various points in the conformation of the horse. 

 lK)siti()ns assumed in dilTerent diseases, and numerous ])athological details. A 

 dissectible plate accomjianies the work showing the details of the internal and 

 external anatomy.

 author maintains on the basis of his observations that races of the horse or other 

 animals once established in a given locality can not be reproduced in exactly the 

 same form in other localities. Where a given race of the horse appears to be desir- 

 able for importation into some other locality it is necessary to imi)ort at relatively 

 fre(pient intervals pure-bred sires from the native locality in order to keep up 

 the form of the race. 



Notes are given on a inunber of connnon diseases among horses, including 

 azoturia. o])htlialmia. arthritis, etc.
