REVIEW — MAN UA L OF PHARMACY. 691 
trments of the whole veterinary body is undoubtedly much to be 
desired. This periodical is at the service of those from whom its 
Editor has lately received the proudest testimonial that could be 
conferred upon him. Will those who feel an interest in the matter 
kindly favour him with their opinion. It shall be recorded in the 
next number of The VETERINARIAN, or more promptly communi- 
cated to our metropolitan brethren. The next collegiate session 
will commence about the middle of November, but, long ere that, 
the important questions now agitated should be set at rest. — Y.

has taken of the good feeling which seems at present to be rapidly 
pervading the whole veterinary body — may no evil spell separate 
those who should be thus united ! — and embodied the opinions 
and practice of the members of our profession, with regard to al- 
most every medicament. We refer to one or two additions, taken 
almost at haphazard : — 
V CREASOTON, Creasote. 
“ Internally given it is a stimulant and a tonic. Its greatest use 
is as a topical remedy, being employed in the form of a lotion, a
