account we have decided to ignore the club system in publishing 
the Review. We cannot help thinking that either the publica¬ 
tion is good and is worth what we ask for it, or that it is so poor

that our subscription list is large enough, and that we do not care 
to see it increased. Far from it; we thank our present friends 
for their support, and we hope for that of many more in the fu¬ 
ture, to enable us to make the Review still cheaper, and we feel 
more or less confident that our hope is destined, at no remote 
period, to be realized.

Third Vol. of “The Veterinarian ,” page 451: ‘‘Although I have 
seen at least a hundred cases, chiefly iu this town, during the last 
twenty-five years, yet I am almost ashamed to confess that I can¬ 
not recall to recollection that I have ever cured a single case ; nor
