The Colorado State Board of Agriculture have es¬ 
tablished a department of veterinary science, with Dr. George H. 
Glover, of Denver, at the head of it, at an annual salary of $1500. 
Dr. Eugene Biart, of Leavenworth, Kansas, has recently 
returned from Manila, P. I., where he had gone to serve the gov¬ 
ernment as a veterinarian a year ago. The doctor reports a very 
pleasant and profitable experience. 
Dr. Wm. Herbert Lowe, reported as being dangerously 
ill with inflammatory rheumatism in the May Review, is con¬ 
valescing nicely, and has already resumed his enthusiastic work 
in behalf of the Atlantic City meeting of the A. V. M. A. 
Dr. Elishu Hanshew, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who was 
reported in the April Review as being ill with capillary bron¬ 
chitis, is, we are pleased to announce, so far recovered as to 
assume active control of his large practice. 
Dr. J. J. Millar has succeeded Dr. L. A. Merillat as Secre¬ 
tary of the Faculty of McKillip Veterinary College, Chicago. 
The former has entered into partnership with Prof. McKillip, 
and he will assume the chair of cattle pathology and obstetrics 
in addition to his other duties. 
Dr. H. G. Patterson, of St. Joseph, Mo., recently paid his 
friends in Kansas City and St. Joseph a short visit, returning to 
New Orleans to begin his fifth voyage to South Africa, May 23. 
These trips across the water seem to agree with the doctor, as 
he is adding considerably to his avoirdupois. 
Bacillol, the new germicide advertised elsewhere, is mak¬ 
ing rapid strides towards universal use among veterinarians. 
Under tests it has proven more destructive to germ life than any 
non-poisonous substance known, weak solutions killing them 
very quickly. Write the Bakterol Company, New Brighton, 
N. Y., for literature and all particulars. 
Drs. L. A. Merillat and J. M. Wright, late of the Mc¬ 
Killip practice in Chicago, have formed a partnership under the 
title of Wright & Merillat, and are engaged in the general prac¬ 
tice of veterinary medicine at 2127 Indiana Avenue, Chicago. 
Dr. W. L. Johnson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who recently 
made a trip from New Orleans to South Africa, returned in the 
early part of May, much improved in health, to regain which- 
was his principal object in accepting the charge. He had flat¬ 
tering offers from the British Government to accompany the 
army to Egypt. He may again take a voyage to the Dark Con¬ 
tinent under similar circumstances, as his first was one of much 
pleasure and profit.
