Df the stones of the monument which commemorates the great 
veterinarian.

We have just received the pleasant announcement of the appoint¬

well fitted for the position. 
Our Thanks are tendered to Dr. Herr for the handsome 
photographic pictures he sent us from Chicago. They represent

Distillery at various dates, and show the characteristic lesions 
magnificently. We intend to have them framed and placed in 
the museum of the American Veterinary College.
