THE EDITORS TO THEIR READERS. 
In a few hours after the wound was closed, the breathing be¬ 
came more tranquil; and, by the next day, was as free as before 
the injury had been inflicted. He went on without one untoward 
symptom, and in a month the wound was healed, except a 
small fistulous sore that was connected with an injured portion 
of the rib, but which had no communication with the cavity of 
the chest, and was of no importance, except that it took up some 
extra-time and trouble to get it healed. 
THE VETERINARIAN, JANUARY 1 , 1833 . 
Ne <juid falsi dicere audeat, ne quid veri non audeat.— Cicero, 
We have waited until the printer was outrageous, and the 
printer’s devil haunted us every moment, hoping that we might 
have been able to announce the completion of an’angements as to 
the future editorship of our journal which would indeed justify 
us in calling it a New Seriesbut many hills arose, and the 
waters rolled between us and some individuals to whom we allude, 
and we must go to the press in nearly former garb, and with this 
apology for the usual leading article.” The February-Number, 
we trust, will contain that which will delight our professional 
friends and assure the triumph of The Veterinarian, and, 
identified with that, the advancement of veterinary science. In 
the mean time, we cordially thank our old and valued correspond¬ 
ents, who have rallied round us on our sixth natal day. Our 
readers will thank them for the communication of peculiarly in¬ 
teresting matter; and we are truly grateful for the good wishes 
and kind assurances which the private corners of all their letters 
contained. We are confident that their zeal in our cause and theii 
own will not be confined to one month’s contribution ; and we will 
venture to hint to many others whom we have in our mind’s eye, 
that they, too, have promised us something which, at a moment 
of earliest leisure, and, we trust, in the course even of the follow¬ 
ing month, they will perform.
