grow slowly, are hard and are situated deeply; the malignant grow superficially and 
arc in the soft lymph glands. 
There was a very remarkable specimen of myoloid sarcoma presented in tho 
superior maxilla of a horse, occurring in the practice of Dr. Kooker, who stated it 
was caused by a traumatism, and the large bony growth was only about two weeks 
in forming and the last three days of the animal’s life he experienced great diffi¬ 
culty in breathing, showing complication of the ethinoid and turbinated bones. 
Spindle-celled sarcoma of a mule was then presented from the museum. This 
sarcoma, which in the start is comparatively benign, if removed is likely to return 
as round-celled and then to be malignant. 
Dr. Formad then produced a beautiful drawing of the fungus of actoinomy- 
cocis. Cases of epithelioma in nose of oat and paw of dog were shown. Sqaumous 
epethelioma of horses were then shown. The Doctor said these in their growth 
penetrate deep. Dr. Zuill also mentioned case of cancer of stomach, which is 
rare. There were a number of fine specimens of glandular cancer, principally 
from the mammary glands of bitches. Dr. Formad expressed his agreeable sur¬ 
prise in the size of the collection of pathological specimens, considering the age of 
the Department. 
It was then moved by Dr. Goentner that a vote of thanks be tendered Dr. 
Formad for his excellent production, which was seconded and unanimously carried. 
This ended the exercises and the society adjourned.

VETERINARIAN WANTED. 
Montgomery, Ala., March 12, 188S. 
Prof. A. Liautard*. 
Dear Sir. —On the recommendation of Turf , Field, and 
Farm , I write to say that there is not a better location to be 
found for a graduated veterinary surgeon than in this city. We 
have had one horse doctor after another, but no veterinary sur¬ 
geon, excepting one who soon got drunk and stayed so until he 
left for parts unknown. The one we have here now will not use 
the knife even for castration, yet he has made a good living from 
the first. This city contains nearly 30,000 inhabitants, and a good 
man can make money from the start. There is plenty of work in 
the county and towns within 15 miles. 
I refer you to my old friend Col. S. D. Bruce of Turf , Field 
and Farm } as to who and what I am. 
Very respectfully, 
C. W. Kennedy.
