indulge in this article a little further upon business matters. 
We have said the response to our notice has been generous 
—beyond our expectations—which is true. Of course, in a 
large list of subscribers, some have not responded. We take 
this last opportunity to say to all such that the August num¬ 
ber will be mailed,to their address, after which, unless we 
receive a notification that they wish it continued, accompan¬ 
ied by three dollars to pay for one year’s subscription from 
April, 1895, the Review will cease to be sent to them. As 
we stated in that July number, this journal is not published to 
make money : but we cannot afford to lose it continually. We 
have received sufficient subscriptions to place it upon a self- 
sustaining basis; but we do not intend that those who have 
so cheerfully signified their approbation shall do so for the 
benefit of others who have shown themselves neglectful or 
indifferent. 
After this, we trust it will be unnecessary to burden our 
readers with business matters. But we emphasize the pur¬ 
port of this notice: To all who have not paid their subscriptions 
beginning April, 1895, the Review will cease to be sent after the 
August number .

meeting of the United States Veterinary Medical Association, 
which meets at Des Moines, Iowa, in September. 
From all indications the approaching meeting will be the 
largest numerically, most national in character, and most 
important from an educational standpoint that has occurred 
since the organization of the association in 1863. The cen¬ 
trality of the place of assemblage will insure the attendance 
of a very large number of members who otherwise could not 
or would not visit the annual conclave, chiefly for the reason 
that heretofore the distance has been so great, and the length 
of time required in going to and fro so exacting as to render 
it impracticable for them to so long absent themselves from
