BOB VEAL AND THE PUBLIC.

a demand for it, with the prospects of future growth, why not 
supply it plainly labeled to those who may desire it? While it 
might not entirely check, it would undoubtedly very much reduce 
the attempts to substitute for older veal. 
As to the charges of unwholesomeness and injurious effects 
upon the human system, it would appear that the burden of proof 
should rest upon those who make them. Our own investigation, 
with the co-operation of more than twenty persons, including 
the tender age of childhood and advanced maturity, do not con¬ 
firm them, but rather indicate that the flesh of bob* veal has a 
definite nutritive value and appears in no way to interfere with 
the normal physiological functions of the human body. 
Ottawa Dairy Stands by Veterinarians. —Poor milk 
may “ look just as good ” as Ottawa Dairy Milk. Remember, 
however, that the Ottawa Dairy never buys a drop of milk from 
a producer until he furnishes a veterinary surgeon’s certificate 
declaring the health of his herd.— (The Evening Citizen , Ot¬

On page 216 of this issue of the Review will be found a most 
interesting case report from the pen of Dr. A. W. Whitehouse, of 
Boulder, Colorado' ; and we are sure that his brothers in the pro¬ 
fession will appreciate the report, not only because of the rarity 
of the condition described, but also because of the hardship that 
the doctor was willing to suffer for the cause. Without the 
author’s permission, or. knowledge, we reproduce his letter of 
transmittal, and trust that it will not merit his disapproval: 
“ Boulder, Colorado, March 14, 1912. 
Editor American Veterinary Review, New York, N. Y. 
Enclosed please find a case report. I extremely regret the 
scantiness of the autopsy, but there is not only a limit to endur¬ 
ance, but also to one’s natural intelligence in a driving snow¬ 
storm. The mind does not work as it does under conditions of 
reasonable comfort. Perhaps you could dig up some similar 
cases out of your files. I failed to find any. 
Yours truly, 
A. W. Whitehouse, D. V. S ”
