ONTARIO VETERINARY ASSOCIATION. 
The annual meeting of this Association was held in the 
Ontario Veterinary College, Toronto, on Dec. 23d, 1891.

cated the advantages of periodical meetings of the profession 
for the purposes of discussion and mutual improvement.

Mr. John Wende read an interesting paper on some cases 
of the accidental poisoning of horses by castor oil bean 
mixed in the food, which had occurred in the course of his 
practice. 
Mr. Cowan gave an address on hog cholera, of which he 
has had considerable experience. He mentioned the difficul¬ 
ties frequently occurring in diagnosis, without a post-mortem 
examination, the temperature and pulse for various reasons 
being unreliable guides, also the skin-lesions—blue, red or 
purple patches may or may not be seen. He mentioned the 
hasmorrhagic lung and ulcerations of the intestines as diag¬ 
nostic, the ulcerations usually occurring in the glands in 
the neighborhood of the ilio-coecal valve. 
Prof. Law also gave some very interesting information in 
relation to the disease.
