Foot-and-mouth disease in man, R. L, Sutton and A. O'Donnell (Jour. 

 Amer. Med. Assoc, GG (191G), No. 13, pp. 9-'i7-9-'i9, figs. 5).— The history and 

 pathology of a case of the disease in man are reported in detail. 



Active immunization against glanders, A. Makxek (^Arcli. ^yiss. u. Prakf. 

 Tierheilk., 41 {1915), No. 4-5, pp. 272-285).— The earlier attempts of active 

 immunization against glanders are reviewed and briefly discussed, and the 

 author reports experimental results obtained by Levy, Blumenthal, and him- 

 self in which a suspension of bacteria killed by 80 per cent glycerol was used 

 as a vaccine. 



In the case of guinea pigs one large injection was sufficient to protect the 

 animals against a subsequent infection. The same results were obtained with 

 liorses which, however, received two injections at an interval of two weeks. 



Similar results were obtained using a vaccine prepared from bacilli killed 

 with a solution of urea. This preparation has an advantage in that it can 

 be preserved in powdered form, thus preventing a further attenuation of the 

 bacilli, and can be easily prepared when desired for use. Actual field tests 

 covering a period of four years, in which more than 1,000 horses were vac- 

 cinated, seemed to demonstrate conclusively the value of such a vaccine, 

 especially where glanders is likely to be carried into noninfected regions.

Leishmaniasis in animals, A. Lavekan (Ann. Inst. Pasteur, 28 (1914), Nos. 

 9-10, pp. 823-838; 11-12, pp. 885-912; 29 (1915), Nos. 1, pp. 1-21, fig. 1; 2, pp. 

 71-104, pis. 2, figs. 2; ohs. in Jour. Compar. Path, and Ther., 28 (1915), No. 

 S, pp. 243-246). — In this paper the author deals with the subject as follows: 

 (1) Natural leishmaniasis in the dog; (2) infection set up experimentally with 

 Leishmania infantum; (3) infections set up experimentally with L. donovani; 

 and (4) natural and experimental infections with L. ti'opica. 



The Negri bodies in some animals which hibernate and their relation to 

 the Negri bodies of other animals, F. Sanfelice (Ztschr. Eyg. u. Infektions- 

 krank., 79 (1915), No. 3, pp. 452-491, pis. 4). — The author reviews the litera- 

 ture on the subject, and discusses the course of rabies and occurrence of Negri 

 bodies in the European hedgehog (Erynacens curopceus) and in the Euro- 

 pean dormouse [Muscardimis avellanarius) , Negri bodies in some nonhibernat- 

 ing animals and in birds, and the origin of inclusion bodies. 



Inhibitory properties of magnesium sulphate and their therapeutic appli- 

 cation in tetanus, S. J. Meltzer (Jour. Amer. Med. Assoc, 66 (1916), No. 13, 

 pp. 931-934). — The author briefly discusses the theory of the inhibitory 

 properties of magnesium sulphate and describes the methods used in its ad- 

 ministration in tetanus. 



Tuberculosis in the dog and cat, W. R. Blaie (Cornell Vet., 6 (1916), No. 1, 

 pp. 25-35, 2J?s. 2). — The author outlines in detail the symptoms and lesions of 

 tuberculosis in the dog and cat, and reports nine cases in the dog, together 

 with the autopsical findings. The use of tuberculin as a diagnostic agent in 

 such animals is deemed by the author not to lead to any reliable conclusions. 



Graphic charts (Roy. Com. Tuberculosis, Final Rpt., II, App., 7 (1912), pp. 

 57, pis. 51). — This report illustrates graphically some of the results of the 

 investigations of the Royal Commission on Human and Animal Tuberculosis, 

 from 1902 to 1910. Detailed references are made from the charts to previous
