THE VETERINARY PROFESSION.

way combat the symptoms. I know not how one case may 
terminate as yet, the congestion in the udder being so great 
that I fear gangrene will take place : in fact, the teat and a 
small portion of the quarter was this morning deathy cold ; but 
I am told this evening that the warmth is somewhat restored. 
Should you think the history of the cases worthy (as also the 
past cases I have had) the pages of your valuable periodical, 
I shall be most happy to prepare it for you.

THE VETERINARIAN, JULY 1, 1841. 
Ne quid falsi dicere audeat, ne quid veri non audeat. — C icero. 
Another session has nearly winged its flight, and the prin- 
cipal portion of the instruction of the veterinary pupil will be sus- 
pended until the close of autumn. What progress has been made 
towards the completion of the noble object of the founders of the 
College, the establishment of veterinary science — a knowledge of 
the anatomical structure of all domesticated animals, and of the 
means by which their diseases may be prevented or relieved ? 
There still remains the professor of equine pathology. He 
worked hard for the situation — he has won it, and no one wishes 
to displace him. 
The professorship of equine anatomy and physiology remains 
with Mr. Spooner, and it cannot be in better hands. Many an 
excursion does he make into other and kindred regions, to the 
delight and the benefit of his pupils. 
The professorship — we beg pardon, the lectureship — on veteri- 
nary pharmaceutics continues with Mr. Morton. Surely the day 
cannot be far distant when the importance of this division of 
veterinary instruction will be universally acknowledged, and its 
professors receive their due reward.
