one of the finest coilections of fast horses at the Cleveland 
race # track that was ever there, and suggested the mem¬ 
bers visiting there in the morning. It was decided in following 
iis suggestion, instead of having a meeting to-morrow. 
Dr. Tanner suggested a little exchange of ideas on our 
knowledge, or rather our ignorance, of the pathology and 
kreatment of parturient apoplexy. Some members present 
had most of them recover under any treatment, while others 
lad them nearly all die, and Dr. Gribble stated having fifteen 
;ases during the present month (June), and had had fifteen 
unerals, whereas, in 1891, seven out of ten recovered during 
same month. He had spent plenty of money experimenting 
vith new alkaloids, had used stimulants, sedatives, the cold 
>ack, and almost everything he had ever read of, and actually 
le believed one was as good as the other, at least the results 
ooked that way. 
“ What success have you had with tarsal tenotomy for the 
•elief of springhalt?” was the next question ; but few of the 
nembers present had tried it, and then with not very grati¬ 
fying results. Prof. King had performed it a few times in 
Cincinnati, two or three times with good results, while others 
vere complete failures ; and one seemed cured at the time of 
iperation, but it gradually got to be almost as bad as before. 
The remainder of the evening until midnight was spent in 
i sort of social session, when the meeting adjourned.

ary science. He graduated among the foremost of his class, 
1 1846, at the veterinary school of Lyons, and soon became 
ngaged in the congenial work, to him, of teaching, until in 
850, when he was appointed by his alma mater to the posi- 
lon of clinical teacher. Working his way by degrees, accord- 
ig to the slow methods of advancement characteristic of 
European institutions, he was in 1866 appointed to the pro-
