give thirty drops of aconite every half hour ? I know we would 
have better success in substituting aromatic [spt. ammonia in this 
case. With this exception and the addition of injections of car- 
bolized warm water into uterus, I think the treatment much bet¬ 
ter than large doses of any kind of medicine.

OBITUARY NOTICE. 
Professor R. Y. Tuson, Professor of Chemistry in the Royal 
Yeterinary College, died on the 31st of October last, in the fifty- 
seventh year of his age. His death is equally a loss to the vet¬ 
erinary profession at large in England, and to the institution with 
which he had been connected for twenty-eight years. To Amer¬ 
ican veterinarians Professor Tuson was chiefly known through 
his valuable work on the chemical and medicinal properties of 
agents used in veterinary practice, though this was not his only 
contribution to veterinary literature. The profession is indebted 
to him for many other papers of value and interest, which ap- 
peared'in the columns of the Veterinarian , of which he was an 
assistant editor. His principal literary labor, however, was the 
editing of “ Cooley’s Encyclopedia of Practical Receipts.”
