derous stallions, two only have presented doubtful symptoms, ami 
insufficient to positively prove that glanders is transmissible bv 
the genital apparatus of the male. 
4th.—Seven experiments made to elucidate this special point 
have always given negative results, even in cases where both 
parents were diseased. 
5th. The product of glanderous parents, watched during six 
months, have never presented symptoms or lesions, and the test 
of inoculation has always been followed by negative results. 
6th. The inoculation of virulent liquids is equally as effica 
cious upon the products of glanderous parents as it is upon 
subjects of pure origin; consequently they did not have glanders 
in nature, nor in germ, nor did they enjoy imtnnuity from it. 
The conclusion of the interesting and able investigation made 
o o 
by tbe Toulouse professors, is that glanders is seldom transmitted 
from the mother to £he foetus, and never by the father. 
Diseases of the Heart. —In our present issue we conclude 
the series of papers communicated by our associate editor, Dr. J. 
Myers, Sr., on the Diseases of the Heart of Domestic Animals, 
by the publication of the portion relating to treatment indicated. 
Of all the communications we have offered to our readers on this 
side of the Atlantic, probably there has never been one possessing 
such an amount of interest and value as this translation from F. 
Dlazekovic. The literature on this subject is so deficient, that to 
have made a good German version, accessible to all English 
reading people, is on the part of Dr. Myers a most meritorious 
task, by which we hope American veterinarians will largely profit. 
We regret, however, that the articles in question were not pre¬ 
pared for the columns of the Review under an arrangement 
which would have made feasible their publication in a single 
volume. 
The Pasteur Inoculation in Russia.— The Odessa corre¬

treated in this city by Dr. Gamelei, for whose initiatory operations 
lymph has been supplied from M. Pasteur’s laboratory.”
