LIVERPOOL VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSO¬ 
CIATION. 
The thirty-second quarterly meeting of the Liverpool Veterinary 
Medical Association was held in the Medical Hall, Hope Street, 
onEriday evening, the 10th day of May. After the members had 
partaken of tea the chair was taken by the President. There 
were present—Messrs. Storrar, Elam, Morgan, Reynolds, Kenny, 
Ackroyd, Harwood, Barnes, Welsby, Whittle, Woods, and 
Greaves, as members ; and Messrs. Spearman, Middlehurst, 
Whitthread, Ley land, and Dr. Morris, as visitors. The Secre¬ 
tary nominated Mr. Little, and Mr. Kenny nominated Mr. Charles 
Middlehurst for membership of the Association. 
After other business had been despatched, Mr. Joseph Welsby 
read the following paper on—“ Cattle Poisoning by Phosphoric 
Acid,” which was productive of an animated and highly useful 
discussion, relating principally to the form in which the poison 
was imbibed, and the chemical changes likely to take place on 
its admixture with the food and the juices of the stomach and 
bowels. 
Mr. R. S. Reynolds also introduced, briefly and extempora¬ 
neously, the subject of “ Sprained Tendons in Cart Horses,” con¬ 
fessing his inability to prevent, in most cases, the horse eventually 
going on his toe. This difficulty was generally acknowledged; the 
treatment of firing was deprecated, unless it were associated 
with a special shoe and other mechanical appliances, which are 
pretty well known.. Tenotomy had not proved very successful.
