There is little worthy of notice in the medical history of this month, 
except the continued absence in the metropolis of the epidemic of which 
w'e have heard so much in some districts. We have heard of it, indeed, in 
London, but it has only been in the practice of those who are always over¬ 
whelmed with business, or who magnify every case of catarrh into Pneu¬ 
monia or Influenza. 
Distemper and jMange in the dog have, as usual, rapidly increased as the 
summer approaches, but the former has not been so fatal, nor the latter so 
inveterate, as they will be b}”^ and by. 
Cases of Farcy, or that bear a very close analogy to farcy, seem to be 
thickening upon us.
