PROF. WALLEY OF THE ROYAL DICK COLLEGE. 
At the last hour going to press the news reaches us of 
another great loss in the veterinary profession by the death of 
Prof. Walley, which took place on the ioth of December. 
SUNDRY CLIPS AND NOTES. 
TRICHINA IN THE HORSE. 
It is a common custom in America as well as in England to 
find that veterinary editors are attached to agricultural or sport¬ 
ing papers with various objects, the main one being to give 
gratuitous advices, as answers to inquirers having animals ailing 
with various diseases. It is not our object to consider the pro¬ 
priety of such work, which, in many instances, is of no advan¬ 
tage to the inquirer, we fear of little advantage to the proprietor 
of the journal, of small pecuniary results to the person who 
gives the answer, and we have no hesitation to consider, at the 
very least, a breach of professional etiquette. 
But this, right or wrong as it may be, it seems to us that it 
would become the veterinary editor of some of our agricultural 
papers to watch at the issue which may be sent broadcast in the 
issue of the journal to which he belongs. 
These remarks are suggested to us by the reading of an 
article in the National Stockman and Farmer, where, out of an 
editorial on “ Horseflesh for Food,” we find this sentence : “The 
medical men warn the eaters of horse-flesh that the horse is 
peculiarly liable to the disease known as trichinosis.” 
Of course, the time has not come yet when in this country horse¬ 
flesh will be admitted as one of the various meats found in our 
butchers’ shops and, therefore, little danger will ever exist from 
its use ; but if there is ever to be one, it certainly will not be 
found in the presence of the trichina spiralis.
