not drawing the line at serous or hemorrhagic effusions and not 
excluding pus. So that under the head of “Autotherapy—Its Ap¬ 
plication in the Treatment of Septic Diseases in the Horse,” by 
Dr. D. J. Mangan (veterinarian), New York City, on.page 422 
of this issue, we give to the American veterinary profession the 
careful scientific investigations, combined with clinical records, 
of an American veterinarian in this method of treating diseases. 
Dr. Mangan has for sometime been studying the methods of Dr. 
Charles H. Duncan (physician), Attending Surgeon of the Vol¬

authority on the subject in the medical profession, and we shall 
publish a paper presented by him to the Veterinary Medical Asso¬ 
ciation of New York City in the August number of the Review.

Among the many good things which Dr. Norton has done 
during that time and for which, in his modesty, he will probably 
never receive due credit, (unless someone publishes it for him), 
is the fact that from 1894 to 1900 he had in operation the field or 
pasture rotation scheme for Texas Fever eradication, and in 
those seven early years actually freed a large valley from Texas 
Fever ticks. Within the past few years this plan has been in 
popular use in many of the Southern states. 
Practically all of the Arizona present veterinary sanitary 
laws are due mainly to Dr. Norton’s suggestions. The present 
condition of Arizona’s sanitary control work is suggested in a
