where horses and cattle are feeding in pasture that is old, and 
when the grass has become rather woody, bleached, and tough, 
a similar disease has taken place. If such is the case, the dis- 
ease can only be prevented by frequent changes of pasture, and 
if it can be got, a bite for a few hours a day upon a meadow 
appears likely to be of great service. A moderate allowance of 
clover or tares might be expected to have a similar effect. 
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE EDITOR OF 
“THE VETERINARIAN” AND MR. CHARLES CLARK. 
[The readers of The Veterinarian will forgive the intrusion 
of the following letters. In fact, they are the property of the 
patrons of this periodical, for they implicate its honour.] 
46, Grove Street, Camden Town, 
12th Dec. 1836. 
Sir, — In a letter signed “Clemens,” in “The Centaur” of 
Saturday, Dec. 10th, 1836, 1 find the following language : — “ It — 
the only veterinary journal that has existed for some time — has 
proved a base pander to the views of a mercenary and unin- 
telligent institution. There has been a degree of canting hy- 
pocrisy,” &c. 
There was that in the composition of this letter which left little 
doubt on my mind that it was indited by Mr. Bracy Clark. 
The manner in which this letter was introduced by the editor 
of “The Centaur,” as coming from “a gentlemen so long-tried 
and consistent an opponent of abuse and oppression, and occu- 
pying so distinguished a position,” &c. still more confirms my sus- 
picion, and justifies me in asking — nay, compels me to ask, yea 
or nay — were you the author of that letter ? and did you mean 
to apply the terms “ base pander” and “ canting hypocrite” to 
me personally ? 
I am, Sir, 
Your very obedient servant, 
W. Youatt. 
To Bracy Clark, Esq.
