1.—Regulating Veterinary , 
ctice in the State of New 
k—“ the veterinary bill has been 
ed, and is now law”—applications 
e in previous years have always 
d—why—this final success due to 
uonious feeling and action ny the 
mittee of the State Society, and 
eipally on the part of its chairman, 
Pendry, to whom the credit of the 
age of the bill is due—they receive 
ammous vote of thanks from the 
yty—the bill is not as perfect as it 
it be, but it ultimately gives the 
h-blow to quackery. Rabies— 
irtance of inoculation in presence 
oubtful cases—in this instance it 
es most satisfactory, confirming 
diagnosis and probably deciding 
bitten person to submit herself to 
nn lit—still the period of mcuba- 
is too long, and it may be fatal to 
its results—government commis- 
3 sent from all parts of Europe to 
ice, to investiate Pasteur’s meth- 
-the United States alone remains 
nd—investigations from this 
itry looked tor and obtained only 
ugh personal enterprise. The 
jral Sacs of the Horse— these 
tistiuct and separated—the poste- 
mediastinum is not imperforate 
nervations of Mr. Barrier—the 
Ttance of this fact in a clinical 
; of view. Tuberculosis, not 
’o-pneumonia, in Maine—report 
rofessor Michener—error in the 
rt upon the nature of the disease 
i in agricultural papers—Dr. 
■y ought to correct it. Vaccine 
ig Cholera— letter of Dr. Salmon 
e Breeders' Gazette —the vaccine 
asteur fails him, as it did Dr. 
i in Nebraska—are hog cholera 
ouget the same disease—lmpor- 
* of the question.95-101
