NOTICE. 
To Members Unit eel States Veterinary Medical Association : 
I have the pleasure of announcing- to the members of the 
Association and the profession in general, at home and abroad, 
that there will be two valuable contributions offered to our 
Association at its International Meeting, which should attract 
the attention and interest of the entire profession of the world. 
They are the result of several years’ investigation on the sub¬ 
ject of “ Swine-Plague ” and “ Hog-Cholera,” and “Conta¬ 
gious Pleuro-Pneumonia.” 
The first paper will be offered jointly by Dr. A. W. Clem¬ 
ent and Dr. Wm. Welch. The second paper will be offered 
by Dr. A. W. Clement, and it will be accompanied by the 
most exhaustive collection of pathological specimens which 
have ever been gathered together in the world.
