measure to control contagious diseases and pleuro-pneumonia—referred to a com¬ 
mittee, and is discussed by Dr. Swinburne, of New York, and Dr. Gallinger, of 
New Hampshire—their remarks ungentlemanly and unprofessional—their dis¬ 
graceful utterances to the veterinarians—veterinary surgeons nothing—the politi¬

Contagious Pleuro-Pneumonia in Congeess. —The atten- 
;ion of the veterinary profession has been for some time past di- 
•ected to the anticipated action of Congress in reference to the 
enactment of laws on the subject of contagious diseases of ani- 
nals, and, principally, with reference to the probable course of 
egislation in relation to contagious pleuro-pneumonia. We have 
aid before our readers a copy of the text of what has been 
lenominated the ‘‘Miller bill,” which has been introduced in the 
louse and duly referred, and which is now in the hands of a 
ommittee; and we have expressed our approbation of its pro- 
isions, with the hope that it may eventually become a law, as 
urnishing perhaps the best measure of protection which the 
rovernment can devise for ridding the country of this most ter- 
ible lung plague of bovines.
