—Dr. Salmon’s letter. Veterinary Associations —Their formation in the East 
results in their organization in the West—new ones in shape—Indiana—California

more stringent by-laws can now be formed better than at first. Castration not 
Veterinary Surgery. —Letters on the subject—the Review the servant of the 
profession. 
FEBRUARY.— The Triumph of Pasteurism. —Deserving name used by 
Dr. Fleming—Pasteur Institute opening—its advantages and objects—public 
money builds it—and keeps it in working trim—it is not a dispensary for rabies 
patients—it is for investigation of all contagious diseases—it is a national patho- 
biological laboratory—France ahead of all other countries in the encouragement 
she gives to science. Swine Plague and Texas Fever Commissions. —Investi¬ 
gators are not made—but financial help is necessary to them—what of our patho- 
biological laboratory—changes in the swine plague commission—it is at work— 
first at Baltimore, now has gone South—interest in the report—Dr. Klein’s re¬ 
marks on Dr. Salmon. Cresyl or Creoline and Eseridine. —New drugs in

good pleading for the committee in charge of the bill. Cruelty to Animals. — 
Dastardly abuse of a professional title—diabolical act punished by well deserved 
sentence to hard labor—the so-called veterinary surgeon not a member of our 
profession. 
MARCH.— Are Quadrupeds Subject to Hemorrhoidal Disease? —A 
question put by Dr. W. Badenhamer—his negative solution—is it based on Prof. 
Gothier’s observations—our researches on the subject—numerous authorities 
ignore the disease—it is accepted by a few—our observations—the question is 
worth the attention of veterinarians—will they help to solve it? Enzootic Bao- 
terian Hemoglobinuria. —Dr. Paquin’s paper on the mad itch or enzootic men¬ 
ingitis—that of Dr. J. Meyer, Sr., on a similar disease—symptoms, lesions and 
pathological nature of hemoglobinuria—are the three diseases alike ? Meetings 
of Societies. —Kind invitations received which we were obliged to decline—too 
short time to prepare—no bad excuse—means to remedy—the annual society 
meetings calendar to be issued in our next number. Sanitary Reports. —Their 
advantages—thanks for those received, but more expected. Reference Hand¬ 
book of the Medical Sciences—Veterinary Post-mortem Examinations.— 
Dr. Clement’s excellent article—the subdivision of the subject—work in the 
laboratory—in the field—modes of procedure—reduction of what is seen—the 
writing of a report a very important work—the three cases reported an excellent 
model to follow. Notice. —The semi-annual meeting of the United States 
Veterinary Medical Association.
