THE COLORADO VETERINARY Bill. 
A HORSE THAT WAS HOMESICK. 
By F. A. Zucker, D.V.S., Elizabeth, N. J. 
I was called to see a horse which Mr. W. had traded several 
days previous, and new owner said would not eat. Examined 
teeth and found same rather sharp, and so floated same. This 
did not tend to produce an appetite, so started in on tonics, un¬ 
til this source was entirely exhausted. Then going back to 
that, which always tends to some enlightenment in making a 
diagnosis, u history,” I found that the horse was gotten from a 
stable where he had been twelve years, and fed from the same 
manger and by the same man the entire time. Owner also said 
the horse refused the food from the first day he got him. Made 
up my mind that the horse might be homesick, so drove him 
down to his former stable, and, to the surprise of all, he pitched in 
like a starved animal, for he had not eaten as much as a blade 
of grass in two weeks. Took him home and he has not refused 
a meal up to this time. 
THE COLORADO VETERINARY BILL. 
The following bill is to be introduced in the Colorado Legis¬ 
lature during the coming session, and Secretary D. P. Frame 
writes the Review that as it provides for the registration of all 
non-graduates within a certain period the veterinarians do not 
anticipate much opposition from that class:
