ditorial.—Contagious Pleuro-Pneumonia 
in Congress.—The Miller bill—the best 
measure to control contagious diseases 
and pieuro-pneumonia—referred to a 
committee, and is discussed by Dr. 
Swinburne, of New York, and Dr. Gal- 
linger, of New Hampshire—their re¬ 
marks ungentlemanly and unprofes¬ 
sional—their disgraceful utterances 
to the veterinarians—veterinary sur¬ 
geons nothing —the political M.D.s 
know it all—contagious pieuro-pneu¬ 
monia is not contagious—the bill is 
killed and an amendment introduced— 
three medical men are to be ap¬ 
pointed—are Drs. S. and G. likely to 
be members of the committee—letter 
from Professor Law, of Cornell—his

the two Congressmen. 537 
Breach of Ethics—candidates for State

better card and better recommenda¬
