CORRESPONDENCE. 
well, with bright eye, clean coat and unabated appetite. A sec¬ 
tion of her udder was mounted at the Board of Health laboratory 
and proved to be undoubtedly tubercular. I dedicate her memory 
to those pig-headed members of the medical profession who per¬ 
sistently oppose the pasteurization of milk for children. In con¬ 
trast to old “ Brownie ” may be mentioned two valuable short¬ 
horn heifers that reacted to the tuberculin test. Their cases are 
mentioned to show the impossibility of arriving at, during life, 
any correct idea as to what cows it is safe to leave in a herd and 
which are likely to be dangerous. No. i was a red heifer in good 
condition. The post mortem showed three bronchial glands af¬ 
fected, a tiny spot in one mesenteric, and a small patch in the left 
lung. The small patch, however, proved to be discharging a lib¬ 
eral supply O'f tubercular pus into one of the bronchial tubes, with 
the result that this heifer was actively spreading the disease. No. 
2 was a lovely white heifer, which it seemed a sin to kill. She 
proved to be absolutely clean, so far as macroscopic lesions were 
concerned, until I reached her supra-mammary glands, which 
showed a few small caseous areas. Sections prepared by the gov¬ 
ernment pathologist showed typical giant cells and were pro¬ 
nounced tubercular. Here we have two apparently healthy heif¬ 
ers in the pink of condition—one actively spreading the disease, 
and another apparently about to start a primary lesion in the 
udder.

Addresses for Personal Communications. —Owing to the 
fact that a large number of Review readers throughout the coun¬ 
try have addressed communications to Drs. Mangan and Duncan, 
since the publication of their papers on “ Autotherapy ” in the 
July and August numbers of the Review, respectively, to obviate 
further matter coming to this office we give below the addresses 
of Dr. Charles H. Duncan (physician), No. 233 Lexington ave¬ 
nue, and Dr. D. J. Mangan (veterinarian), No. 2557 Third ave¬ 
nue, New York, N. Y. 
The American Association of State and Provincial 
Veterinarians has an able and forceful leader in its president, 
Dr. James I. Gibson, Des Moines, Iowa. Uniform live stock 
health certificates (the creation of which is one of its objects), 
has been a subject, the importance of which has forcefully im¬ 
pressed Dr. Gibson for some time, and we foretell the accomplish¬ 
ment of that and all the other important objects of the organiza¬ 
tion, in observing the personnel of the officers.
