For yeais this translation has been the leading - text-book 
of the veterinary student, and for years it will continue to fill 
that place, and though other works on the same subject may

CAUSE AND PREVENTIONS OF SWINE PLAGUE. By Theobold Smith, 
Pb.B., M.D., with Colored Illustrations. U. S. Department of Agriculture* 
Bureau of Animal Industry. 
The matters treated in this new issue of the Bureau of 
Animal Industry have been the subject of much observation 
and consideration, together with the reasons of the pros and 
cons of the varying conclusions which have from time to time

theories held and the measures proposed for the extripation 
of the evil in question, involves an extensive acquaintance 
and large study of our governmental disquisitions upon veter¬

The book also contains a critical review of the writings of 
other investigators, which recommends itself to the careful 
reader for the quietness of the style and still the strength of 
the method in which differences in opinion or judgment upon 
technical work are discussed.
