 communicated by swine, inasmuch as they (the

Professor Hering thought that when scientific 

 veterinary surgeons enunciated their experiences and 

 opinions, the results ought not to be met with incre-

Then came the question of Pleuro-pneumonia. 



Professor Garng'ee (from England) said, that

 Continent. 



Professor Nichlas said, many competent judges

Professor Gamgee said, inoculation in this disease
