shoeing—the private exhibitions—our duties in 1892—our remembrance of 1876 
and of Dr. Gadsden’s handsome show cases—collection of the French veterinary 
journals—each school has its special organ. United States Veterinary Medi¬

Having laid before our readers, in our last number, our 
motives for postponing the consideration of the important 
veterinary events by which the records for the month of Sep¬ 
tember have been distinguished, we propose to appropriate 
a portion of space in our present issue to a review of the work 
accomplished during that period. We give our attention first 
to the proceedings of the Fifth International Veterinary Congress 
whose sessions were held in Paris daily for a week, commenc¬ 
ing on the 2 d ultimo. 
The Committee on Organization had previously labored 
long and assiduously to excite an interest in the coming event, 
and the attention of the veterinary world had been largely 
attracted to the occasion.
