begins—the discovery—disappointment among almost all—the “liberals” do not 
object—the game of the postal card—terrible results of the mutilation of the bill 
—Hon. J. B. Shea, of the Assembly, comes to the rescue—his efforts in behalf of 
the profession—the amendment to the law—section 2 no longer as it was—this 
time quackery is doomed—but veterinarians must watch. Effects of Lightning 
on Horses. —The subject rather lightly treated in veterinary works—few cases 
on record, except the fatal ones—the case of Pancoast—his recovery slow but 
sure. Governmental Aid to French Veterinary Schools. —The difference 
between the doings of European and American governments—shall we ever see 
similar action in the United States ? 
SEPTEMBER.— First International Congress on Tuberculosis. —Initi¬ 
ated by a veterinarian, it is organized by Prof. Verneuil—its importance—gath¬ 
ering of scientists, comparative pathologists, physicians and veterinarians—almost 
all Europe represented—even the United States—veterinarians for the first time 
admitted to equal rights—admission made by Prof. Verneuil—Chauveau is Presi¬ 
dent of the Congress—a compliment to the profession he represents as well as to 
the scientists—veterinarians of France can realize the advantages of this recogni¬ 
tion—thanks to the veterinary profession by Prof. Verneuil—the reports of the 
Congress will be published later on. Surgical Interference in Laryngeal 
Paralysis Producing Roaring. — A tedious affection that no one cares to 
encounter—difficulties of positive pathology—principally laryngeal, however— 
Gunther’s attempt for its relief—publication in the Veterinary Journal of 
July—four operations indicated—they are simple—all are preceded by one 
for the opening of the larynx—this is of great value—assisting in a positive 
pathalogical diagnosis—it is harmless—the larynx is no more terra incognita. 
Antirabic Inoculation of Herbivorous Animals. —Pasteur’s investigations 
followed by others—Prof. Galtier, of the Lyons school, one of the first—his 
labors and achievements cannot be ignored—Pasteur’s treatment objectionable 
and difficult to the ordinary practitioner—intra-venous injection is simple—and as 
certain—the experiments of Galtier confirmed at the Pasteur Institute—all veterin¬ 
arians ought to try it—good results obtained—it will protect all ruminants—per¬ 
haps the horse—experiments to be made. Our Prize.— We are prepared to fulfil 
our engagements—let the committee report. Special Back Numbers. 
OCTOBER.—To our Readers. —Conception of the American Veterinary 
Review—its incubation, birth, nursing and rearing—its growth and object—neces¬ 
sity of a large circulation—means to obtain it—the subscription reduced from four 
to three dollars a year. United States Veterinary Medical Association. — 
Its organization at the Astor House in 1863—the quarter of a century anniversary 
in 1888—the meeting at the Rossmore Hotel—but few of the original members 
present—about forty out of nearly two hundred of the actual membership answer 
the call—meeting good when compared with preceding ones in New York—two 
good papers read, but not discussed—the committee on tuberculosis—the meetings 
in New York always failures when compared with others—a remedy wanted" 
Legislation and Medical Education. —The paper of the counsel of New York 
State and County Medical Societies—veterinary medicine ignored—an oversight, 
certainly—veterinarians ought to appeal for an equality of consideration in the
