OBITUARY. 
four months. The owner did not want to have the colt fired, 
and I decided to try hypodermic injections of tincture of iodine. 
The animal was cast, and after the part was prepared four 
drachms of tincture of iodine were injected at four different points 
over and around the spavin. The directions for after-treatment 
were carefully followed. There was but little swelling after the 
operation, and in two weeks the colt was turned out. 
August 17th the enlargement was more marked, and the colt 
was still quite lame, and the tincture was injected again. After 
two weeks the lameness persisted, and a strong blister of mer¬ 
curic iodide was applied, and the colt confined in a single stall 
for three weeks. 
September 28th the exostosis was fully twice as large as at* 
the beginning of the treatment, and very lame. I then fired the 
colt severely. 
Have not seen the case since, and do not know the final result.

PROSECUTING UNDER THE OHIO LAW. 
Washington C. H., O., Feb. 13, 1896. 
Editor American Veterinary Review: 
Dear Sir: —In the columns of your Review in the past there 
has been published a full text of the law regulating the practice 
of veterinary medicine in this State. There has been great divers¬ 
ity of opinion among the members of this Association as to the 
utility of this law, but at the last annual session a committee on 
law, composed of Dr. W. H. Gribble, Dr. W. R. Howe and Dr. 
J. D. Fair was appointed. Said committee had David R. Dearth 
arrested in Dayton, Ohio, Feb. 11, 1896, charged with unlawfully 
practicing veterinary surgery. He was convicted and fined ten 
dollars and costs, the minimum fine for first offense. Other 
members are requested to take courage and try their hand at it, 
even if a test case must be carried to the Supreme Court. 
W. H. Gribble, Secretary.
