1. That oleo-sulphure-tannique is a cheap remedy, and easy 
of preparation. 
2. That this liniment admits of being used in all seasons of 
the year, and in this respect possesses advantages over antipsoric 
baths and lotions. 
3. That, considering its consistence, and that it is recom- 
mended to be used warm, it is easy to render the inungation 
complete, even in a few minutes, over every part found mangy, 
and this renders it a preferable form of preparation to either 
pommades or ointments. 
4. That this liniment cures mange equally as well as many 
other preparations, such as the helmery, citrine, sulphur, mer- 
curial sulphur, sulphate of potass, and hellebore ointments, and 
as well as sulphate of potass and hellebore baths ; but that it 
has no claim to superiority over these several remedies when 
properly prepared and properly used. 
From this we pass on to a paper which, as it has been 
deemed of sufficient importance to command the attention of the 
National and Central Society of Veterinary Medicine in Paris, 
before whom it has been read, calls upon us for more or less 
consideration. The subject of it is one of which we profess no 
more than hearsay knowledge ourselves, though, we believe, in 
some parts of our own country, and among certain persons, it has 
had some notice taken of it, or, at all events, is not altogether 
unknown. Among the French, it appears, the notion has been 
for some years current, under the denomination of 
The Systeme Guenon. 
(From its having originated with an individual by the name of Guenon.) 
That cows, by practical men, might be pronounced to be good 
or bad milkers, according as a part known by the name of 
Vecusson (in English THE ESCUTCHEON) happened to display 
hair — growing, as it does naturally, in the reversed direction, 
wrongways, as the saying is — of a more or less lengthy or bushy 
character. What possible influence one part can have over 
the other — what sympathy or physiological connexion can sub- 
sist between the secretion of milk and the escutcheon, and if 
the fact be established that such is notable or discoverable by 
those engaged in dairy affairs, how to account for so strange a 
relationship, we, for our own part, should despair to offer any
