PUERPERAL FEVER.

inquiry with regard to this; but I should like to know what 
guarantee the veterinary student has that the valuable li- 
brary, plates, medical and surgical essays, &c. which have 
been swept out of the walls of the Veterinary College, along 
with the London Veterinary Society, may not also be frittered 
away, abused, and lost. I should advise the veterinary stu- 
dents to turn their attention to this matter, as it is vitally im- 
portant to them and their successors ; and I make this sugges- 
tion without meaning any personal allusion or reflection upon 
any one. 
The purport of this letter, therefore, is, not only to give in my 
attachment and support to the Veterinary Medical Association, 
but to direct the attention of the parties who have the forming 
and framing of the regulations of the Association, to the pro- 
priety of making a resolution which shall vest in the hands of 
the governors for the time being, as part and parcel of the Vete- 
rinary College, the property of all books, plate, &c. on condition, 
that they allow the Association to hold its meetings within the 
College walls, and set apart a room for the reception of the 
library, and allow the secretary of the College, for the time being, 
to be the librarian. 
By some such plan as this, a splendid library would soon be 
permanently attached to the College, available on paying a sub- 
scription of one guinea annually to every London practitioner, 
as well as to the veterinary student, and which would be 
handed down to future generations. 
Wishing permanent success to the Veterinary Medical Asso- 
ciation, and, as one of the profession, returning you my warmest 
thanks for the straightforward part you have taken in this affair, 
allow me to subscribe myself 
Yours most truly.

I would have sent the following cases as they occurred, if I 
had deemed them worthy of a place in your interesting and use- 
ful Journal ; but I did not consider them worth sending, because
