6 th. The action of these substances, which collectively we 
have called morvine , is more manifest in glanderous animals 
than in others. By regulated dosage, with the assistance of 
these substances, we have often succeeded in inoculating 
against glanders, and even—exceptionally—in curing the dis¬ 
ease when already developed. 
This last conclusion is one of immense importance, while 
it is true that it is based merely on the result obtained from a 
single animal, which, after the disease had been diagnostica¬ 
ted by clinical and bacteriological means, was brought to 
such a condition that the glanderous symptoms were no longer 
manifested by clinical signs. It is also to be considered that 
after death the anatomo-pathological and bacteriological ex¬ 
aminations failed to show the slightest indication of a glan¬ 
derous nature. Such a case certainly opens a broad field for 
the study of the pathologist, as well as offering new points for 
investigation to the sanitarian in respect to the management 
of an affection which to this day has been considered incur¬ 
able. .

To all Members of the Pennsylvania State Veterinary Medical Association: 
Through the courtesy of Secretary Thomas J. Edge, of the Board of Agri¬ 
culture, the members of our Association are afforded an opportunity to appear 
at the various meetings of the Farmer’s Institutes which are held throughout 
every county in the State. This opportunity is one that the officers of this As¬ 
sociation most heartily commend to all its members. It will bring us more 
prominently before our people ; it will strengthen our organization and it will 
be the means of bringing our profession to a stronger position among the other 
professions of our State. 
We, therefore, as officers do request that every member will, on receipt of 
this announcement, send in his name to Secretary Ridge, offering to assist in 
carrying forth this project whenever he may be called upon. It is desirous that 
in consenting you will name the subject upon which you are willing to prepare 
a paper. You may be selected to go to most any portion of the State, but it is 
generally the plan to select a man close to the centre at which the local institute 
convenes. 
Your traveling expenses are provided for by the Institute so selecting you. 
A list of those of our members willing to take up this opportunity must be placed
