We have in peroxide of hydrogen a prompt, safe and effici¬ 
ent germicide. By its oxidizing power it rapidly decomposes 
pus, diphtheritic membranes, and other morbid putrifying ma¬ 
terial. It is a thorough deodorizer, and as a cleansing agent for 
foul wounds, abscesses, etc., it has no equal. 
Of the different preparations of peroxide, Marchand’s has 
been most uniformly satisfactory. 
Bibliography.— Piffard, Jennings, J. Lewis Smith, Noble, Morris and others, as

Since writing the foregoing paper my attention has been 
called to hydrozone, a stronger solution of peroxide of hydro¬ 
gen, which for some months I have been using with much sat¬ 
isfaction.

Precis du Pied du Cheval et de sa Ferrure. (Treatise on the Horse’s Foot and its 
Shoeing.) By Professors F. Peuch and X. Lesbre, of the Veterinary School of 
Lyon. Asselin and Houzeau, Paris. 
A work dedicated to the memory of Henri Bouley, divided 
in two parts—one treating of the anatomy and physiology of 
the foot of the horse; the other, of its shoeing; this last being 
divided into three sections : history of shoeing, shoeing of the 
normal foot, and that of the diseased and defectuous foot,—fol¬ 
lowed by an appendix containing information upon the shoeing 
of mules, donkeys, and oxen. The book is illustrated with 300 
wood cuts. 
In the gathering of the work the authors have obtained much 
help from the original work of Bouley and from more recent 
publications in France and other countries, such as those of 
Goyau, Favalard, Delperier, Dangel, Aureggio, Pader, Jacoulot, 
Chomel, Brambilla, Fogliata, Feisering, Hartmann, Fungwitz, 
Dominick, Moller, Fleming and others, besides numerous ad¬ 
vantages that the clinical services of the Fyon School has 
offered.

In this most interesting work of a little over 400 pages, the 
author has succeeded in gathering from the numerous publica¬ 
tions, where they were buried, positive documents upon the life 
and the work done by men, who, in various points of view, have 
occupied in the veterinary profession an important place, and who, 
by their efforts, have most contributed to its elevation. To the 
long list of veterinarians, are added the names of several physi-
