He has since tried the treatment in lo or 12 cases and in every 
instance has effected a cure, so far as stopping the lameness is 
concerned. His method is to cast the horse in the usual way, 
and in case of spavin, inject about two and a half drachms of 
B. P. preparation in three or four different places a little above 
the seat of disease, so that it has a tendency to run down. 
There is less suffering 'than from blistering, and there is no 
suppuration following. Thoroughly cleanse and disinfect the 
needle, make the injections and allow animal to get up, the 
operation requiring no after treatment. It is recommended to 
have a large syringe, holding half an ounce, injecting once over 
the enlargement, and the other three a little above it. He has 
not found it necessary to repeat the treatment, and the patient

COLLEGE ANNOUNCEMENTS.

AMERICAN VETERINARY CORTEGE. 
The twenty-third annual announcement of this college for 
the session of 1897-98 is received, and is a neat little pamphlet 
of 55 pages. It is in the nature of an innovation, in that it con¬ 
tains the most complete record of its graduates that we have 
ever seen attempted, giving the full name of the alumnus, date 
of graduation, address, and the history of his career, so far as it 
refers to positions in educational institutions, national. State, 
and municipal governments, authorship of works bearing upon 
the profession, etc. With the close of the last session it had 
made the record of an even 600 graduates, and their history as 
detailed in the roster is an everlasting monument to the won¬ 
derful work which it has accomplished in distributing through¬ 
out the country so many men who have made their marks in 
the profession of their espousal. 
The announcement devotes three pages of instruction to ap¬ 
plicants for matriculation and admission, which has been care¬ 
fully prepared and approved by the Board of Regents of the 
University of the State of New York. 
The course is not materially changed from last year, and 
the governing faculty remains the same. In the adjunct faculty 
Dr. W. S. Gottheil has retired from the chair of Surgical Path¬ 
ology and Practical Microscopy, and H. B. Ferguson, Ph. G., 
Phar. D., has been added as an adjunct to the chair of Botany.
