This month has afforded a .singular illustration of the power of atmosphe¬ 
ric agency, even in diseases of the teeth and gums. One case only oc¬ 
curred in the whole of December and January; our present report contains 
no less than eleven cases, including one of glossanthrax, a disease of rather 
rare occurrence in the dog. These arc, comparatively, trivial diseases, but 
they, too, are governed by some unsuspected and powerful agent. We have 
much to learn here. In future we will endeavour to append a short meteo¬ 
rological account to our monthly report. 
Distemper has been more prevalent, and accompanied by chest affections, 
but it has been far from fatal. Cutaneous affections, both in the horse and 
dog, are beginning to appear much earlier than we are accustomed to ob¬ 
serve them. 
The cases of phthisis (sniffles) in the rabbits promise to be successful. 
Plenty of the chloride of lime is used about the hutches and the muzzles of 
the animals. The use of dry food is strictly enjoined, and small doses of 
sulphate of copper, with digitalis, are administered. The man had lost thirty. 
The plague is staid, and the four to whom the medicine has been given are 
living, and apparently, although slowly, rallying. We will report again on 
this. Y.
