Are Quadrupeds Subject to Hemorrhoidal Disease?—A question put by 
Dr. W. Badenhamer—His negative solution—it is based on Prof. Gothier’s obser¬ 
vations—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

uria.— Dr. Paquin’s paper on the mad itch or enzootic meningitis—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 oblighed to decline—too short time to pre¬ 
pare—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 Handbook 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.
