gives us also new information relating to the International 
Congress. If we consider all that we are promised, all that 
we are to expect from the committees through their reports, 
without counting the unexpected, the few days which the 
meeting is to occupy will never be sufficient unless every¬ 
thing is well prepared, and all the items so adjusted as to 
move on in the style of clock-work. 
Dr. Hoskins last circular is as follows :

offered the following papers : 
* “Swine Plague and Hog Cholera”—Drs. Welch and Clement. 
“ Contagious Pleuro-Pneumonia Dr. A. W. Clement.
