OBITUARY. 
Died, August 2d, 1855, of tubercular consumption, follow- 
ing a severe cold, which at the first was thought little of, 
Mr. Joseph Snc^v, M.R.C.V.S., of Salisbury, aged 44 years. 
Mr. Snow 7 obtained his diploma in 1834, and afterwards 
settled at Salisbury, where he carried on an extensive practice, 
being much respected by his employers ; so much so, indeed, 
that “ the nobility and gentry in the immediate neighbour- 
hood, placing the utmost confidence in his advice and opinion, 
continued to give him their support, although he w as obliged 
to leave the management of the business entirely to an 
assistant for a long time before his death.” 
We have also been informed of the death of Mr. J. Lane, 
of Australia, — and Mr. T. S. Biggs, w 7 ho was conducting a 
business at Chippenham. The former obtained his diploma 
in 1848; the latter in 1852. 
Surely this is a transitory state of existence.
