PROF. WALLEY EXPLAINS. 
Edinbrugh, Dec. 14, 1886. 
Editor American Veterinary Review : 
In your issue of this month, Mr. Bowhill has done me the 
10,1 or of referring at some length to my published views on 
' Swine Plague,” and while appreciating this honor, I must ask 
lm to excuse me if I direct his attention to several inaccuracies 
n his part. 
1st, The title of Swine Fever. Mr. Bowhill objects to me us- 
'S the term eruptive fever, stating (a) “ that there is no such 
ung as a speciiie fever that has lesions produced only by the 
:se of temperature; ” (J) That “ swine-plague is by no means an 
ruptive disease (as I have seen it in America) if by eruption 
Tof. Walley means skin complications.”
