THE VETERINARIAN, SEPTEMBER 1 , 1835 . 
Ne quid falsi dicere audeat, ne quid veri non audeat.— Cicero. 
We have complied with the wishes of some of our corre¬ 
spondents, and introduced more good English stuff than usual 
into our present Number ; it is for them, however, to determine 
how long we shall do so, and they must not blame us on account 
of that, the remedy of which rests with themselves. 
The letter of Nimrod we regard as peculiarly valuable. The 
fact of the comparative rarity ofbroken wind and roaring among 
the French horses is curious and interesting, and to the investiga¬ 
tion and elucidation of it we invite our readers. We are also 
obliged to Mr. C. Clarke. In the infant state of our profession, 
practical men out of it can often give us very useful information, 
and we should be candid and wise enough to give their com¬ 
munications all due attention. 
We have presented our readers with another Essay of the 
Assistant Professor of the Royal Veterinary College. It is on 
a subject on which he is quite at home: it will do him no dis¬ 
credit; and it will be read with interest by the profession at large. 
We had heard that Mr. Sewell was about to publish, in his 
way, an account of a new and successful treatment of splents. 
Copies were circulating among this gentleman’s friends, both in 
and out of the profession. A friend of ours, before the publica¬ 
tion of our last number, favoured us with the loan of one that 
had been sent to him. We were unwilling to compromise him 
with the Assistant Professor; but a few days afterwards another 
was conveyed to us, and we have the offer of a third : as caterers, 
therefore, for the profession generally, we can,without impropriety, 
now serve it up for their veterinary nutriment and enjoyment. 
But,—and we ask it with no unfriendly voice,—what does the 
worthy Professor mean by this strange mode of publication ? Is 
he not aware tlrat, in virtue of the office which he has the honour
