TREATISE ON VETERINARY THERAPEUTICS AND MATERIA 
MEDICA. (Traite de Therapeutique et de Matiere Medicale Veterinaires). 
By Professor M. Kaufmann. Asselin & Houzeau. 
An extensive and exhaustive work, covering the subjects 
of therapeutics and materia medica in the most complete 
manner, and introducing to the veterinarian the most recent 
discoveries and their therapeutical applications in veterinary 
medicine. 
Certain generalities relating to the absorption, administra¬ 
tion, elimination, choice and physiological effects of drugs 
are followed by a comparatively simple classification of the 
drugs themselves, alphabetically arranged, covering the 
entire range of therapeutic agents, under twelve principal 
heads, having reference to their medical properties. 
The whole forms a volume of 700 pages of well written, 
readable matter, brought out in their usual style by the old 
French veterinary publishing house of Asselin & Houzeau. 
OBITUARY. 
ROBERT WOOD, V.S. 
It is our sorrowful duty to inform our readers of the death 
of an esteemed and regretted member of the veterinary fra¬ 
ternity, Robert Wood, V.S.,of Lowell, Mass., which occurred 
in the latter part of January. 
Born in England in 1820, Dr. Wood claimed, we believe, 
to be a graduate of the old Dadd’s Veterinary College, and 
was a good self-made practitioner. He was one of the former 
members of the United States Veterinary Medical Associa¬ 
tion, and for years was one of the most regular attendants at 
the meetings.
