BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
This concise mention of the work is insufficient to give an 
idea of the value of its contents. But a careful perusal of its 
900 pages, the complete description of the diseases, the sim¬ 
plicity of the processes of operations, the positiveness of the 
elements of diagnosis and of the therapeutical indications, all 
will point out the value of the work as one of the best of its 
kind in veterinary literature. Like that of Lanzillotti-Buon- 
santi, to whom we have alluded in a preceding issue of the 
Review, the bibliographical information presented by the au¬ 
thors is most complete and shows the amount of research this 
second volume has imposed on Prof. Cadiot and his worthy 
assistant, Mr. Almy. 
In this second volume there are no less than 419 plates in¬ 
serted in the text. These are of great value, and must have in¬ 
volved the publishers in heavy expense. The make-up, the 
printing, all, in fact, is worthy of the good old French house, 
from which most all of the valuable veterinary works are is¬ 
sued. There is no doubt that the completion of the work con¬ 
stitutes a valuable acquisition, up to date, to veterinary surgery 
and that it will meet at the hands of the profession the credit it 
deserves. 
SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
UNITED STATES V. M. ASSOCIATION. 
At the hour of going to press with the July Review the 
programme of the annual meeting, which takes place in Omaha, 
Neb., on Sept. 6, 7 and 8, had developed very much more com¬ 
pletely than at a similar date last year. 
Meat Inspection will be discussed under the following head¬ 
ings : “Reasons for Meat Inspection,” by Dr. C. A. Cary; 
“ Methods of Educating the Public as to the Importance of 
Meat Inspection,” by Dr. W. Horace Hoskins ; “The Necessity 
of Consolidation of Municipal Slaughter-houses into Large Abat*. 
toirs under Municipal Control,” by Dr. Leonard Pearson; 
“ Slaughter-house Inspection,” by Dr. Thomas J. Turner; 
“ Retail Market Inspection,” by Dr. Charles W. Heitzman. 
A considerable number of specimens illustrating diseases in 
food animals has already been secured and members interested 
in this subject will doubtless have an opportunity to see and ex-; 
amine a larger variety of pathological tissues and abnormal con-‘ 
ditions of animal flesh than has ever been collected before in 
this country. This feature of our meeting will be worth the
