and evening. The next day the same, which operated veiy co¬

day repeated the saline draught, as before. I then passed my 
hand up the rectum, and found the tumour had nearly subsided. 
On the fifth day I gave him calomel, as before, and repeated the 
saline draught on the following day. On the seventh day he left 
my stables, perfectly recovered ; and has continued well to the 
present moment.

VETERINARY EXAMINING COMMITTEE. 
WE reluctantly return to the constitution of the medical exa¬ 
mining committee. We have heard from too many quarters to 
pennit us to doubt the fact, that some of the remarks which we 
and others have thought it necessary to make on a recent decision 
of that committee have not been received quite in good part, and 
that complaints, and hints, and threats of resignation have fallen 
from certain influential members. 
We sincerely regret that this should have been the case; we 
trust that it was merely the expression of momentary feeling; and 
we would beg leave once more, and we would fain hope not quite 
without success, to argue the matter with these gentlemen calmly 
and respectfully. 
It is expedient that there should be satisfactoiy proof of the 
* V 
acquirements and skill of the pupil ere he assume the title of 
veterinary surgeon, and the persons who are to decide whether the 
candidate ‘^is qualified to practise the veterinary art in all its 
branches,” should be perfectly acquainted with the subject. 
It is indispensable that the^ should understand the veterinary 
^^art in all its branches.”
