American Veterinary Review, 
APRIL, 1894. 
EDITORIAL. 
American Veterinary Review. —One year more has 
elapsed since the Review was first presented to American vete¬ 
rinarians as a link of union, a means of communication between 
them, and as a friendly neutral ground for discussion and in¬ 
dividual improvement; and now we are entering upon our 
eighteenth year. That age does not mean old, but a pretty 
robust constitution, considering what troubles had to be passed 
through, what obstacles had to be overcome. From a small 
number of about 400 pages in our junior issue, we have reached 
that of a volume of over 700, and from a limited edition, have 
arrived to one which justifies our greatest pretensions. 
To our friends, our subscribers, we owe much, but to our 
collaborators our debt can never be paid—they are the life of a 
journal. From them comes the blood of interest which fills our 
pages, and to them our warmest thanks must for ever be given. 
It is not our intention, however, to be satisfied with our past 
gains. Always watchful of the interests and the progress of the 
profession, we intend to maintain the position in American 
veterinary literature that we have achieved by careful attention 
to the objects of the REVIEW at its birthday. Our readers will 
learn with pleasure, we think, that special arrangements have 
been made to secure for the Review original articles from some 
of the leading veterinarians at home and abroad, which will im¬ 
pose an increase in our monthly issue of eight pages, bringing 
our next volume to nearly 900 pages.
