THE INTRADERMAL TUBERCULIN TEST.

have been accused of dishonesty. Many other points have been 
argued against progress in this important matter. We have 
barely made a start and there is yet a lot of worry before those 
who assume the responsibility of getting our herds free from 
tuberculosis. If we attain the highest success and maintain the 
reputation of the veterinary profession, it will be necessary for 
all veterinarians to be extremely careful, to be extremely ac¬ 
curate and conscientious in making tuberculin tests and to regard 
the matter in its true light, rather than a line of work invented 
to get fees. 
Picture Book of Live Stock Champions. —The follow¬ 
ing is extracted from the New York Herald of May 26th, in 
the belief that it is of interest to veterinarians : “ Philip H. Hale, 
editor of the National Farmer and Stock Grower, in St. Louis, 
has just published a picture book of “ Live Stock Cham¬ 
pions,” which is full of interest to horsemen. It contains 720 in¬ 
dexed portraits of noted animals, among .which are scores of 
thoroughbreds, trotters, hackneys and draught horses. Schrei- 
ber's photographs of Rysdyk’s Hambletonian, Ethan Allen, 
George Wilkes and other old time trotters make the book of last¬ 
ing value to votaries of harness racing.” 
Memorial to Dr. Crawford W. Long. —We have recently 
had the pleasure of perusing a “ special bulletin ” issued by the 
University of Pennsylvania, a memorial to Dr. Crawford W. 
Long of the class of 1839 (medical), giving an account of the 
ceremonies of the unveiling of a bronze medallion, which oc¬ 
curred in the medical building on March 30, 1912, to the memory 
of Crawford W. Long, M.D., who first used ether as an anaesthe¬ 
tic in surgery on March 30, 1842, as shown by original docu¬ 
ments presented at the British Medical Association meeting, in 
London, in the summer of 1910, by Mrs. Frances Long Taylor, 
daughter of Dr. Long. The medallion is a beautiful piece of 
work, showing Dr. Long, then less than thirty years of age, bend¬ 
ing over a recumbent patient, dropping ether from a bottle held 
hi the right hand on a towel that partly covers the patient’s face. 
The bulletin is extremely interesting reading.
