Formulaire des Veterinaires Praticiens (Prescription Book for Veterinarians), 
containing about 1500 Prescriptions, made according to the New Therapeutic 
Methods, by Paul Cagny, Member of the Societe Centrale de Medecine Veterinaire 
and of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons of London, i V'ol., 300 pages. 
Published by J. B. Bailliere et fils, 19 rue Hautefeuille, Laris. 
In writing this litle book, Mr. Cagny has two objects in 
view : 
ist. To present veterinarians with a rhtune of therapeutic 
principles, based upon the recent changes in medical theories 
during the last few years. As long as methods must follow 
theories in their changes, the time had arrived in veterinary 
medicine to publish a prescription book, which would not rest 
any more on theories considered to-day as erroneous. 2d. To 
collect in the same chapter all the prescriptions proper for 
the diseases of a given organ. Thanks to the adopted plan, one 
can at a glance find the indications for a case of pneumonia or 
of enteritis, for instance. 
The book is divided into 20 chapters, arranged as follows : 
I. General therapeutics; 2. Agents modifying the external 
cause of disease (antiseptics and parasiticides); 3. Those of 
the digestive apparatus ; 4. Of nutrition ; 5. Of the blood ; 6. 
Of the circulatory apparatus and of circulation ; 7. Of the res¬ 
piratory organs ; 8. Of the nervous system ; 9. Of the organs 
of sight; 10. Of the skin; ii. Of the mammae and milk 
secretion; 12. Of the urinary apparatus ; 13. Of the genital 
organs ; 14. Therapeutic agents without any special functional 
action (electricity, hydrotherapy, massage, caustics, astringents, 
etc.) 15. Poisons and antidotes ; 16. Anti virulent medication ;
