But the final consummation to be aimed at is such an 
improved mode of killing and cooling the carcase as will 
allow dead meat to be sent any distance in hot weather. One 
of the largest butchers in London assures us that the flesh of 
animals quietly killed in Scotland, and allowed to set and

science in other countries. The Gazetta is published every 
two months, and to judge by the eight numbers now before

valuable periodicals in veterinary literature. It is edited by 
Oreste, and the professor has for assistants in his work
