REVIEW. 
FARMER’S VETERINARY ADVISER. By Prof. James Law, of Cornell 
University. Eighth Edition. Published by the Author. Ithaca, N. Y. 
It is but a few years since Prof. Law issued under the form 
of a small book his Vetermary Adviser , and to-day we have the 
pleasure to notice the eighth edition of the same work, revised 
and considerably enlarged. This fact is of itself sufficient evi¬ 
dence of the appreciation of the work by the public at large, and 
we have no doubt also by the veterinary profession, and of its 
importance as a book of great value to those for whom it is 
written. 
This last edition contains much added material, and amongst 
all the new written pages is Chapter 11, where under the modest 
title of Contagious and Epizootic Diseases, is found a short work 
on bacteriology and on the to-day interesting success of prophy¬ 
laxy by inoculation. 
The subject of parasitic diseases, of skin affections, with those 
of the various apparatuses of the body, including those of the 
functions of locomotion, are treated more extensively than in 
previous editions, and the special addition of the long article on 
contagious pleuro-pneumonia with which the author is so 
familiar, all undoubtedly contribute to render the Adviser 
a most valuable work to the farmer, to the veterinary student and 
to the busy practitioner. 
THE REINS AND THE WHIP. 
We have received a copy of the new monthly and we are well 
pleased with its appearance. It is a large illustrated magazine 
which intends to give general information to all those that are 
interested in horses and dogs. This number contains some ex¬ 
cellent illustrations and the reading of the various articles is quite 
interesting. We wish Reins and Whip good success.
