in our estimation, on that account that Moller’s Surgery will 
prove of such advantage to American veterinarians and stu¬ 
dents ; it will fill with them an important space which, up to ! 
this day, has been comparatively empty, as by leaving j 
Williams and some few others of smaller dimensions, the sub- | 
ject of surgery proper had no representative in English 
literature. 
We congratulate the translator on his work, and feel satis¬ 
fied that he will receive at 
welcome.

Powder Against the Diarrhcea of Calves.—P rof. 
Buti, in the Clinica Veterinaria , recommends the following: 
Salol, 8 grams, oxide of bismuth, 15 grams, carbonate of 
lime, 30 grams. Mix, and divide into six powders. Give two 
powders in two hours, the four others at four hours apart. 
Recovery follows after two or three days of treatment. Com¬ 
plete the operation by washing the udders of the mothers 
and watch the cleanliness of the stable. 
Midriatic Solution for Effects of Short Dura 
TION.— M. Groenow, objecting to the fact that the effects of 
atropine on the pupil may at times last unnecessarily too long 
in some cases, recommends the following solution, which pro¬ 
duces its effect maxima after half an hour to disappear in about 
an hour: Chlorhydrate of ephedrine, 1 gram, chlorhydrateof 
homatropine, 1 centigram, distilled water, 10 grams. Intro¬ 
duce three or four drops into the conjunctival cul-de-sac with 
a hair brush or a glass dropper.
