THE VETERINARIAN, FEBRUARY 1, 1847. 
Ne quid falsi dicere audeat, ne quid veri non audeat. — CiCEno. 
The professors and patrons of veterinary science deplore the loss 
of Mr. Youatt. For thirty years he assiduously, fondly, unceas- 
ingly laboured, in the cultivation and improvement of the veteri- 
nary art in all its various branches ; and, need we add, with no 
ordinary success has such unexampled assiduity and zeal been

The name of Youatt will take a high place among those of the 
contributors to veterinary and zoological science, and will long live 
in the minds of his professional brethren. 
In our present number will be found some valuable papers : 
those of Mayhew, Cherry, and Goodwin, in particular, will attract 
notice. 
Mr. Smith’s singular case of lameness from disease of the liver 
is one more instance to shew that the pain in or between the 
shoulders, so commonly felt from hepatitis by man, may like- 
wise exist in the horse from the same cause, and so prove the 
occasion of lameness ; and the circumstance of the lameness being 
in the near fore limb, instead of — as in all preceding cases — being 
in the off, renders the case, so far, unique. But we do not view
