wall, having a few windows only in it) under one roof, and this, 
too, in a country in which the animals do not escape the specific 
fever in the open air. 
But into how many stables are young horses introduced where 
no means of prevention are ever thought of! Cattle and sheep 
are congregated at fairs, and go back to their owners or are trans¬ 
ferred to others with this fever sometimes upon them. The laws 
in Germany, regarding the soundness of animals at the time 
of transfer, have reference to this, and there are stated periods 
when animals may be returned. We know if a colt is attacked 
with diseased lungs, as a result to this fever, six days after the 
purchase he was sound at the time of sale; if before five days, 
he was unsound, that is, he had the fever on him at the time of 
sale. In both of those cases, in our courts of law who would be 
the sufferer ? The unfortunate dealer. It would be the same 
with strangles, catarrh, farcy, and glanders.

THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH VETERINARY PRESS. 
The conductors of the French Veterinary Press have lately 
begun to follow the example which we long ago set them, of ex¬ 
tracting certain articles from our monthly periodical. We thank 
them for it. When we commenced this course, we were certainly 
actuated by self-interest, but quite as much by a deep feeling of 
what our common art owed to the labours of our Continental 
brethren. We enriched our own Journal, and we bore an honest 
testimony to the worth of that of our neighbours. 
The editors of the ‘‘ RecueiF’ have, during the present year, 
translated the papers of Mr. Black on Paracentesis Thoracis,” 
and of Mr. Mayer on The past and present State of Veterinary 
Science in England.” They have paid a well-merited compli¬ 
ment to our confreres, and they have shewn their own judgment 
in the selection. 
They have also thought proper to give, and at very consider¬ 
able length, the Lectures delivered by Mr. Youatt on the subject
