REMARKS ON VETERINARY EXAMINATIONS.

July 2 Qih . — My patient seems a little better ; the eyes are dimi- 
nished in size, and the mucous membranes are more healthy in 
appearance and colour — the tongue is kept in the mouth longer at 
a time — the heart’s action is diminished — the medicine has acted 
strongly on the bowels, and, on the whole, I think she is better. 
Continue the steaming as before, and give the calf a little milk 
or gruel. 
July 21th . — This morning my patient is considerably improved ; 
she looks brisk and lively, but is still quite blind. It, however, 
shews some signs of feeling in the eye, for when it is touched it 
evinces a degree of pain. The appetite is improved ; all swelling of 
the head and neck is gone, and there is a great discharge from the 
nostrils. Continue the treatment, and put a little grass before it 
to see if it will eat it. 
July 31s£. — I visited the calf this morning, and found it to be 
very much improved ; the appetite is good, and it is very lively. 
There is a considerable discharge from the nose, and it can see a 
little in the right eye. Continue as before. 
August 3 d . — This morning I paid another visit to my patient, 
and found the little animal quite well in every respect but the left 
eye. It can see as well as ever in the right eye. I ordered it to 
be turned out into the field during a few hours, and to have a little 
milk twice a-day. 
I saw it a few days after, and found it could see as well as ever 
in both eyes, and was quite well and hearty. 
I have seen it several times since, and it is as fine a young 
beast as I ever saw, and is growing very fast. 
REMARKS ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE 
VETERINARY EXAMINATIONS. 
To the Editors of “ The Veterinarian .” 
August 18th, 1845. 
Gentlemen, — I n the present disturbed state of veterinary affairs 
— when it is extremely desirable to allay the heart-burnings and 
acrimonious feelings that have been, in too many instances, shewn - 
amongst the members of the profession — as to the prospective prac- 
tical working of the recent Charter of Incorporation, there is no 
point of greater importance that can at present be discussed, than 
the ways and means that shall be finally adopted and pursued by 
the Boards of Examiners in London and Edinburgh respectively,
