with diffused lesions without tubercles, another with tubercles, 
according to the dose and the weak or strong condition of the 
virnlency. The cat which had served for the beginning of the 
experiment had been said by a veterinarian to suffer with in¬ 
flammation of the liver, spleen and intestines. The same lesions 
were found in the inoculated cat. Consequently a bacillar 
tuberculosis can be found in this species analogous to those al¬ 
ready described under the name of bacillar pseudo-tuberculosis 
in guinea pig, mice, rabbit and sheep.— {Soc. of Biol.) 
OBITUARY. 
Henry vS. Vanderhoff, M. D., V. S.—At Sing Sing, N. Y., 
on Monday, July 4, 1898, at 9 p. m., this estimable veterinarian 
closed a long sickness, the prolongation of which had been re¬ 
garded as miraculous, as he had suffered from serious gastric 
disease for many years, after becoming so reduced as to cause 
his death to be imminently expected, but from a wonderful 
constitution and great will-power he would rally and give hopes 
of ultimate recovery, when his insatiable pursuer would again 
prostrate him. He practiced human medicine for a number of 
years in the Eastern District of Brooklyn, N. Y., but about 1882 
entered, and in due time graduated from the Columbia Veteri¬ 
nary College, in New York, locating in Brooklyn, where he 
afterwards became associated with the Bureau of Animal Industry 
in its crusade against pleuro-pneumonia, serving as an inspector 
for some five years. When that work was completed be removed 
to Sing Sing, where he has resided since, but owing to his malady 
did not engage in active practice. From his attending physi¬ 
cian, who was much interested in the scientific aspect of his 
case, we have received the following notes : “ Cause of death, 
cicatricial stenosis of pylorus, chronic dilatation, and inflamma¬ 
tion of stomach. Occasion of death on July 4, anaemia, pros¬ 
tration from heat, heart failure.”
