from a small work sent to the Society by M. Hure, an army vete- 
rinary surgeon, upon which we find the Committee reporting as

nomy in consequence of the suppression, tardy or rapid, fre- 
quently reiterated, of his cutaneous perspiration. In the first

the animal out of the remount depot to join his regiment ; he 
observes him while breaking under the riding-master, at groom- 
ing, at exercise, at recruit drill, in the field, and, lastly, on march, 
while he is changing quarters. 
M. Hure remarks that young horses recently purchased, after 
having remained their time of warranty at the remount depots, 
are allotted into detachments, and sent off’ to their respective
