tion disappeaied, and the tumor likewise. In eight days the 
animal was again reported as indisposed. Great pyrexia per¬ 
vaded the body, and the diagnosis of pneumonia, evidently of 
traumatic origin, was reported. Fourteen days later the patient 
succumbed.

Hygiene of Domestic Animals by H. Boucher of the Veterin¬ 
ary School of Lyon with introduction by Prof. C. Cornevin. 1 
vol. in 16 mo. J. Bailliere & fils, 19 rue Hautefeuille, Paris. 
This book is the third volume of the Cadeac Encyclopedia, 
and in it, under a concise, clear form, and in conformity with the 
most recent discoveries and applications of veterinary hygiene, 
will be found the most precise notions relating to the study of the 
proper means to keep animals in health, and protect them 
against injuries or diseases likely to diminish their value. 
In the first part the author studies the soils, water, atmos¬ 
pheric and climatic influences, and after examining their various 
physical and chemical properties, their constitution, preservation,

In the second part, stables and their construction, harnesses, 
grooming and feeding furnishes very interesting material for con¬

a review of the various food of vegetable and the animal origin 
with a consideration upon their composition, digestibility, mode 
of preparation, sophistication and preservation.
