Our tenth volume the past and the future. The organ of the profession— 
not of this or of that institution, but of the veterinary body at large—of all veter¬ 
inary societies, whether National or State—not so much, perhaps, as it is willing 
\ t0 be - The United States Veterinary Medical Association—the March meeting— 
its failure and its cause and means of relief. Our new volume departure. Ex¬ 
tracts from home agricultural papers—Pasteur’s vaccine in hog cholera Errors 
- t0 be noticed in the reports. Parturient apoplexy. Use of cocaine. Another 
effort by the army veterinarian. Appointment of Prof. Chauveau—objections 
from the French “ chronic kicker ’’—the need of a similar position in the United 
States. New legislation in Washington. 
We are about entering upon our tenth year of publication, and 
it is not without a feeling of pride that we emerge from what 
may be denominated the period of our adolescence, and realize 
| „ that in a few months, at the farthest, we shall have quite survived 
the experimental stage, and achieved that era of journalistic ex¬ 
istence which warrants a gratifying assurance of durability and 
permanence. Those of our friends who recall the circumstances 
which accompanied the establishment and early progress of the 
I Keview, and remember the signs of weakness and hesitation be 
trayed in some of the earlier numbers, will be glad to recognize 
the success which has crowned our efforts to elevate it to its pres¬ 
ent position of credit and usefulness; and while they look with 
satisfaction upon the progress thus far realized, it becomes a 
legitimate enquiry, What may be reasonably anticipated of our 
future ?
