used, and lately he has had a run at grass, but without benefit. 
Recently I have exhibited internally a strong solution of Zinci 
Chlor., fifty grains to the ounce, but with no satisfactory 
result. I should like to have an opinion as to the pro¬ 
bable seat of disease, and of its true nature and treatment. 
I think myself that the larynx is chiefly affected, and pro¬ 
bably with ulceration of the mucous membrane, although 
there are no external symptoms to confirm me in this con¬ 
clusion. 
Apologising for trespassing so far on your time and 
space, I am, &c.

MEETING OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
Sir, —Will you kindly allow me space in your columns 
to inform those members of the profession who are interested 
in the matter that the next meeting of veterinary surgeons 
regarding the competitive fees of the Royal Veterinary 
College will be held early in October at Freemasons’Tavern, 
and that due notice will be given of the day and hour. 
I take this opportunity of correcting an error in the 
report of the last meeting of the Council of the Royal 
College of Veterinary Surgeons, published in the current 
number of the Veterinarian. I am described as “ Hon. 
sec. pro tem. of a local society.” So far no “ local society” 
has been formed. I sought permission (by request and on 
behalf of a large number of veterinary surgeons) to use the 
Council Chamber for one meeting, not “ meetings.” As a 
future guide it would be interesting to know on what 
grounds the application was refused, and why immediately 
afterwards a meeting was allowed on a matter extraneous to 
college business. I am, sir, yours, &c., 
Thomas Moore.
