MARCH, 1888. 
EDITORIAL, 
American Yeterinart Review Prize. —Conditions—The committee. The 
Recent Outbreak of Glanders in Massachusetts. —Our notice in November, 
1887—the report of the Cattle Commissioners—light esteem in which professional 
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.” —The sound resolutions passed by the National Far¬ 
mers’ Congress—the bill presented in the Senate and House of Representatives— 
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. Conta¬ 
gious Pleuro-Pneumonia in Pennsylvania. —Did not know it was there, but 
veterinarians did—resolutions of the Keystone Association—the investigating offi¬ 
cials. Army Veterinary Legislation. —A new bill to be introduced in Con¬ 
gress— a good bill, though perhaps lengthy—its indorsement by numerous army 
officers. United States Veterinary Medical Association. —Next semi-annual 
meeting in Baltimore.
