INDEX. 
FEBRUARY.— Professional Ethics in Our Colleges —the subject opened 
by the Medical Record— the need for such education is evident more in veterinary 
than in human medical colleges—its importance to the young veterinary graduate 
—advice that he needs—how will he enter into professional life ?—it is more by 
didactic advice than by reading that deontology can be learned—if properly car¬ 
ried out, it will do away with many of the unprofessional acts and quackeries of 
all kinds that the recent graduate, and even the old practitioner, is liable to fall 
into—it will be a means of elevating the profession. 
Dr. Gadsden on Pleuro-Pneumonia —the manner in which he claims to 
have been treated at the Consolidated Cattle Growers’ Association—the paper he 
had prepared ignored—his opinion as to the contagiosity of the disease sustained 
by some English authorities—an important observation—the effect it may have 
in the process of stamping the disease out of this country. 
American Veterinary Review Prize —Our disappointed enthusiasm about 
the selection of the committee—well declined and warmly accepted—the com¬ 
mittee is carefully selected and nominated, anyhow—our thanks to the gentlemen 
who accepted it—we are now ready to receive the papers—may many come. 
Patho-Biological Laboratory in Nebraska —a good offer from Prof. F. 
S. Billings—it is already accepted and taken advantage of by veterinarians. 
Editorial Notices. 
MARCH.— American Veterinary Review Prize —conditions—the com¬ 
mittee. 
Recent Outbreak of Glanders in Massachusetts —our notice in Novem¬ 
ber, 1887—the report of the Cattle Commissioners—light esteem in which profes¬ 
sional opinion is held—majority, though wrong, carries the day—Dr. Winchester 
is right any how—experts appointed—their report ignored—why ?—the opinions 
of the veterinarians of the road—entire ignorance of symptoms recognized by all 
qualified practitioners as pathognomonic—inoculation confirms the diagnosis of 
the minority and of the experts—the conclusion is not surprising to us—the result. 
“Yes, Smother Them ” 1 —the sound resolutions passed by the National 
Farmers’ Congress—the bill presented in the Senate and the House of Representa¬ 
tives—a horse tamer, said to be “an uneducated man, a cheeky pretender and a 
non-graduate,” sought to be appointed to establish veterinary schools in the 
country—the veterinary profession and education as they are and ought to be. 
Contagious Pleuro-Pneumonia in Pennsylvania —did not know it was 
there, but veterinarians did—resolutions of the Keystone Association—the inves¬ 
tigating officials. 
Army Veterinary Legislation —a new bill to be introduced in Congress—a 
good bill, though perhaps lengthy—its indorsement by numerous army officers. 
United States Veterinary Medioal Association —next semi-annual meet¬ 
ing in Baltimore.
