HOW WILL ERADICATION OF CATTLE TICK BENEFIT THE VETERINARIAN? 2 f J 
presence of the cattle tick to be essential in transmitting the dis¬ 
ease. 
It is interesting to note that this was the first experimental 
proof furnished on the subject of diseases borne by insects, or 
diseases that can be carried from one animal to another only by 
an intermediary host. This mode of transmitting infections has 
since become quite familiar to the public by the discovery that 
certain species of mosquitoes spread malaria and yellow fever to 
man.

An interesting paper on “ Recent Methods for the Diagnosis 
of Glanders /’ from the pen of Professor Hadley of the Univer¬ 
sity of Wisconsin, prepared, its author states, for the interest of 
the every-day practitioner, will appear as a leading article in our 
May issue. 
Dr. S. C. Freeland, Marion, Kan., said in renewing his 
subscription: ‘‘ We set great store by the Review and look 
anxiously for each issue/’ We imagine the last number must 
have been particularly welcome, as the doctor stated at time of 
writing (March 8) that the snow was “ten feet deep on some 
roads, and still drifting.” 
Practitioners Appreciate the Review —Dr. J. B. L. Ter¬ 
rell, Dresden, Tenn., vice-president of the Tennessee Veterin¬ 
ary Medical Association, says: “ I don't know how any busy 
practitioner can get along without the American Veterinary 
Review; I have thirteen volumes bound, they are so convenient 
for readv reference. I would advise anv veterinarian to have 
them bound.” 
Dr. Louis P. Cook, president of the Ohio State Veterinary 
Medical Association, is a candidate for the Ohio State Senate. A 
desire to be in a position to serve the veterinary profession of 
Ohio led him to seek the nomination. The time and energy given 
to the compaign, and the great sacrifice of time afterward, if 
elected, is surely a great deal for a man to do for his professional 
brothers in his state, and should insure the steadfast support be¬ 
fore, and gratitude after election, of every one of them.
