actual. In any effective anti-tuberculosis work we must take 
men and laws, stables and herds, as they are and work for grad¬ 
ual improvement. 
Improvement of the man must always precede the improve¬ 
ment of herd, stable, or legislation. Plainly, therefore, best 
utilization of the work of the International Commission, the 
British Royal Commission, or any similar body, sums up as an 
organized, widespread movement for popular interest, and then 
education. 
The extent of our commission’s usefulness will vary directly 
with the number of people reached and helped. 
What further can our great veterinary and our live stock 
sanitary organizations do to best utilize the work of our inter¬ 
national commission is one of the questions before us. 
Ohio State Veterinary Medical Association Year 
Book is the title of a neat little volume in green cloth binding, 
compiled by President Louis P. Cook, and published by authority 
of the Ohio State Veterinary Medical Association. Following 
the custom of the American Veterinary Medical Association in 
publishing the frontispiece of officers (by courtesy of American 
Veterinary Review), the officers of the O. S. V. M. A. form 
a very pleasing group as the frontispiece of the year book. The 
book contains, in addition to officers, committees, constitution, 
by-laws, etc., laws regulating practice, names and addresses of all 
persons granted certificates by the state board, graduates and 
legally qualified veterinarians by counties and by colleges, veter¬ 
inary inspectors of the B. A. I. in Ohio, with places and dates of 
graduation, names and addresses of members of the state board, 
the minutes of the meeting held at Columbus in January, and a 
number of the interesting papers presented. Altogether, it is an 
interesting and valuable little book to Ohio veterinarians, and 
Dr. Cook deserves credit, not only for the quality of the work 
represented in it, but for the promptness in which he presented it 
to the members of the association.
