injustice, and has had a bill introduced in both the Senate and 
Assembly, which were referred to the Committee on Codes. 
The following is a copy of the amended section : 
2. A practicing physician, surgeon or dentist, having patients requiring his 
daily professional attention, not following any other calling ; a licensed pharmaceu¬ 
tist or pharmacist, while actually engaged in his profession as a means of livelihood; 
and a duly registered veterinary surgeon actually engaged in his profession as a 
means of livlihood. 
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately. 
This bill, when passed, and there can be no question of this, 
as it is manifest injustice, will have to receive the sanction of 
the executive heads of the cities of New York and Brooklyn 
to conform with special legislation. 
Altogether, the profession of the State has reason for con¬ 
gratulation upon the condition of legislative affairs, and it is 
greatly indebted to those who so willingly have given their 
time, energy, and money for the common weal. 
In calling attention to the new frost shoes of Dr. Dough¬ 
erty, we hope they will be tried by those who are practicing 
in districts where wintry weather obliges the use of specially 
made shoes for horses. We have had no opportunity to test 
them, but we hear they have given much satisfaction to those 
who have. 
A Correction.— On page 602 of the December issue, the 
State Veterinary Department of Iowa is made to have come 
to the conclusion that tuberculosis was not contagious. This 
is an error; it should read : “ The conclusion was that the 
disease is usually not inherited.” 
The Veterinary Herald.— We welcome the first num¬ 
ber of this neat little periodical, edited and published by the 
students of the Chicago Veterinary College, with assistance 
from the faculty. It is well gotten up, and we trust it will 
have a long life.
