V. 
it out vigorously prosecuted—Prof. Law’s good work in Chicago—official veter¬ 
inarians appointed in the Eastern States—for the first time a chance seems to offer 
for the extermination of the pest in North America, provided the bureau is 
unhindered, the appropriations continued and politics ignored. 
Distillery Milk— The investigation instituted by Science —varying opinions 
—Prof. Law, Drs. Salmon and L. McLean on the subject. 
Veterinary Societies —their rapid formation—their apparent moribund 
condition—the cause of their inaction—and the wrong of their failure—their 
duties to the profession. 
The Bouley Monument —a last chance to contribute to its erection. 
Veterinary Department of Pennsylvania University —its first catalogue 
of graduates. 
AUGUST.— Dourine in the West —Our prophecy of years ago is slowly 
coming to a reality—little by little European contagious diseases obtain a foot¬ 
hold on this continent—no measures taken to prevent their importation—will 
rinderpest be allowed to come ?—dourine creates quite a panic—the action against 
it in Illinois—the opinions of veterinarians—our suggestions. 
Vaccination in Anthrax —we have always advocated it—was it out of 
patriotic enthusiasm?—no—the extracts from the Annales de l’lnstitut Pasteur, 
and the report of Prof. Robertson, substantiate our opinions. 
A New Suture Needle —another good invention by Dr. Peabody—the new 
needle is a good instrument. 
Veterinary Department of the University of Pennsylvania —the grant 
of $50,000 given by the Legislature vetoed by the Governor—our anticipations 
and hopes disappointed—better luck next time—all it needs is patience, persever¬ 
ance and honesty of purpose. 
United States Veterinary Medical Association and Review Prize— con¬ 
clusion of the paper on glanders—its issue as a whole and its distribution amongst 
the members of the Association—now for the Committee on Prizes to be prepared 
for the next meeting. 
Report of the English Hydrophobia Committee —sweeping approval of 
the subject—more of it in another issue. 
SEPTEMBER.— Stamping out Pleuro-Pneumonia —the work of the Bu¬ 
reau of Animal Industry promises good results—now in New York and hard at 
work—report of Dr. Salmon, showing what has been accomplished up to June 
30th—Illinois reported almost entirely free—enormous work of investigation per¬ 
formed by the inspectors—5,351 herds have been inspected, 49,094 animals exam¬ 
ined, 4,851 post-mortem examinations made, and 1,044 carcasses found diseased. 
Glanders in Montana —The usefulness of sanitary reports once more illus¬ 
trated—they would show the extent of contagious diseases amongst our stock— 
Dr. Holloway’s statement—glanders now spread from army horses and mules 
sold instead of being killed after being condemned—great want of reform some¬ 
where.
