After adoption of Constitution and By-Laws, the Code of Ethics of the Penn¬ 
sylvania Association was adopted. 
There were about twenty-five graduates enrolled, which we think makes a 
very creditable showing, and that it demonstrates the necessity of making veteri¬ 
nary associations exclusive of charlatans to claim the undivided attention of truly 
professional men. 
Quite an interesting and instructive paper on The Importance of Meat In¬ 
spection to Public Health, was read by Dr. J. C. Rodger, of Anderson, followed 
by a discussion in which all took part. 
Dr. H. R. Macauley, of Indianapolis, also favored the Association with an 
admirable paper on The Uses of Sulphate of Morphine in Equine Practice, in 
which he laid particular stress on the hypodermic and intravenous use of this 
drug, giving his practical therapeutic experience. 
An animated discussion followed, after which the date of next meeting was 
set for some time in September, (notification hereafter); appointment of com¬ 
mutes and adjournment." 
We have about thirty-five graduates in the State and confidently expect 
every one of them to become members of the Association, as, in fact, most of 
them have signified their intention of doing. 
I will send the Review a list of members as soon as Dr. Rodger favors me 
with a copy.

just been purchased near Hustleton, Pa., on which has been fitted 
up stables and stalls for horses and cattle. A stone kennel is 
being built for the care of afflicted dogs. There will be a large 
space in which these animals may have a run when they are suf¬ 
ficiently convalescent to desire and enjoy any exercise. It has 
not yet been decided whether to admit cats and other animals. 
An account says: ‘The main objects of the infirmary are to tem¬ 
porarily care for and give rest to the horses of carters, teamsters, 
and others too poor to shelter and feed their stock unless they 
work therefor, and to afford a place of refuge for old and infirm 
favorites of rich people, many of whom have such an affection 
for pets that they will not have them killed when they become
