of this meat injected into the peritoneal cavity of guinea-pigs 
caused tuberculosis in them. It, therefore, appears, says G., 
that the use of such meat by persons is not attended with so" 
much risk as was supposed, either because the virulence of such 
meat and the blood contained in it is mild or because eating the 
meat is far from being the same thing as being inoculated by the 
juices or germ elements contained in such meat. Strauss, in 
his latest work on tuberculosis, declares that he does not know 
of a single case in which it has been proved that human tuber¬ 
culosis has resulted from the use of tuberculous meat. Galtier 
formulates his views in reference to meat inspection as follows : 
I. Seizure of the entire cadaver^ with exception of the hide, when 
there exists simultaneously with the tuberculosis ^narked emacia¬ 
tion^ irrespective of what the nature of the case may be. 2 . 
Seizure of the entire body, the hide excepted, in case of muscle 
tuberculosis, a very, very rare occurrence. 3. Seizure of the 
entire body, hide or adipose tissue excepted, where the latter 
can be used for industrial purposes, in case of simultaneous 
tuberculosis of the thoracic cavity (involving one or more 
organs and the lymphatic glands therein), and of the abdominal 
cavity (involving one or more organs and the lymphatic glands 
therein), or where the general condition of the animal is poor 
as a result of many and diffuse tubercular lesions. 4.^ Seizure 
of the entire body, etc., when the bodily nutrition being poor, 
well-marked tuberculosis exists in one or the other cavity, with 
commencing tuberculosis in one or the other cavity ; in a word, 
when simultaneous tuberculosis exists in both cavities, even 
though only beginning in one of them. 5* Seizure of the en¬ 
tire body, etc., where well-marked tuberculosis exists separately 
and alone in either of the cavities, including tuberculosis of the 
pleura and peritoneum respectively. 6 . In other cases, where 
the bodily condition being good, the tuberculosis is only slightly 
advanced in either cavity, separately or combined, remove only 
diseased organs and also the ribs and abdominal walls. (^Oest^

Extra-Uterine Gestation in Cows \By Mr. Booy ^— | 
Called to visit a cow, primiparous, in labor for three days, the J 
author observed the peculiarity that no change had taken place ^ 
in genital organs, and that they presented none of the alterations ^ 
noticed ordinarily at the time of parturition. He advised watch- 1
