the history of every parasite of sheep in a thorough manner, 
and giving to the reader a description of each individual, his 
life, occurrence and the diseased process to which each 
gives rise, with the treatment appropriate to each, as far as 
possible. We feel confident that as a book of reference or as 
one of general inquiry and study it will prove a most valu¬ 
able acquisition to all students of that special part of helmin¬ 
thology—a science which is probably too often neglected by 
the veterinarian and which we fear is too much ignored in our 
veterinary colleges. 
CORRESPONDENCE. 
GRADUATES AND NON-GRADUATES. 
Cedarburg, Wis., Aug. 5, 1890. 
Editor of Review :—In pursuing the late articles on this 
subject by your Iowa and Illinois correspondents, we Wiscon¬ 
sin boys are brought in an adnubilate dilemma regarding 
graduates and non-graduates in these two States. If both arti¬ 
cles are strictly correct, then I cannot see the possible reason 
why the fifteen or twenty new graduates who annually locate 
in the State of Illinois in the great majority of cases soon ob¬ 
tain permanent, well-paying practices, and soon make many of 
the old-fashioned “horse-doctors” hunt for some other em¬ 
ployment in case they have a family to support. This is a 
fact well known to graduates or non-graduates. 
On the other hand I cannot comprehend why these Iowa 
“ butchers,” under the described circumstances, are not obliged 
to go the same way that Mr. Quack is going in Illinois. 
Evidently both correspondents go to the extremes in 
choosing their weapons of attack and defense against each 
other—one advocating and urging, and the other denouncing 
and condemning veterinary legislation. 
Here several questions arise, namely—Who is qualified to 
practice and who is not ? Why and by whom is legislation 
called for, and why do the non-graduates so bitterly oppose it ?
