prejudice them against the veterinarians that may in the course 
of events be called to treat their domestic animals.

Practice of Surgical Therapeuty of Domestic Animals. By P. J. Cadiot and 
J Almy. (Traite de Therapeutique Chirurgicale des Animaux Domestiques.) 
Vol. II. Published by Asselin and Houzeau. 
I This completes the work undertaken by the authors. The 
first volume was issued a little over two years ago, and treated 
of general surgery, of diseases common to all tissues, and to the 
extremities. The second volume has for its object the diseases 
of regions, and is divided into sections, subdivided into chapters. 
The first section, treating of affections of the head, includes those 
of the cranium and its contents ; of the horns, vertebral column 
and spinal cord, the eye and its annexes, the ear, the Eustachian 
tubes and gutteral pouches; diseases of the nose, nasal cavities 
and tissues ; those of the jaws, mouth, pharynx and salivary 
glands. Among all these, the chapters on dental cysts, trauma¬ 
tisms of the eye, tumors of the nasal cavity ; of the tissues and 
iof the pharynx, with the special interference that they demand, 
[deserve attention. The second section treats of the traumatic 
and inflammatory affections of the neck, of the diseases of the 
thyroid gland, of the larynx, trachea, and oesophagus. In the 
third section are found the diseases of the withers, back and 
loins in one chapter ; then follow the surgical affections of the 
chest. This last forms one of the most interesting of the work. 
iThe fourth section treats of the affections of the abdomen and 
iof its contents. The inflammatory and traumatic lesions, her¬ 
nias, diseases of the anus and rectum, of the urinary apparatus, 
of the genital organs of males and females. In this section the 
chapter on hernias, that of cryptorchidy, on ovariotomy, deserve 
special attention. The fifth section is short. It contains only 
one chapter, in which traumatisms, tumors, parasitism, aneurism, 
etc., are treated. Amputation, caudal myotomy and neurotomy 
are also presented to the reader. The sixth section is devoted 
to the foot, diseases of that part of the extremity in solipeds, in 
bovines, sheep, dogs, pigs, cats, and even birds form a number 
of interesting chapters, which will be read with much interest.
