Late repetitor of Clinic and Surgery to the Ah fort Veterinary 
School, Translated^ with Additional Facts Uelating

The translation bears with it the experience and ripe judgment of Svo boards 
Prof. Liautard, whose rank as a surgeon is not surpassed in our country. * ’ 
The work will be gratefully received by those veterinarians who for many Xllustrated) 
years have relied upon counter irritation and the actual cautery lor 
dealing with these lesions, and who have had so many grevious disap- 
pointments in this line of treatment. The operation has already found 
favor in this country,—Towmat of Comparative Medicine andVeUArchives 
Very full and explicit directions are given of the operation, the 
regional anatomy is described in a succinct form, and abnormalities 
likely to occur are specified; and we think that those who desire to 
become acquainted with an operation that is not uncommonly made use 
of on the continent, and of which we have published annotations, cannot 
do better than buy the work .—The Veterinarian 
A COMPEND OF 
By Dr. A. C. HASSLOCH, V.S., 
Lecturer on Materia Bledica and Therapeutics and Professor of 
Veterinary Dentistry at the New York College of Veterinary 
Surgeons and School of Comparative Medicine, N, Y, ’ 
12nio, cloth, 225 pp., $1.50. 
The little volume is neat and convenient in size and form, and printed 
in clear, bold type. It briefiy covers the whole subject of materia medica, 
going into no details of the matter presented. It will prove a valuable 
reference book to the student and aid him in his studies and preparation 
for examination; alike it will find a place on the office table or pharmacy 
shelf of the busy veterinarian, where its prompt aid will suffice for a time 
the busy worker when one is in doubt. The arrangement of the various 
drugs under the chief action they possess makes it more attractive and 
presentable. The veterinarian has lacked in his field many of these 
assistants, and so has.the student at the end of his college term when 
reviewing for examinations, and they will find this work a help in time 
of need.—Journal of Comp. Med. and Vet. Archives.
