For veterinary importance the Congress has been a great 
success. 
The transactions of the Congress will be issued at a short date, 
with all the papers that were presented. I will extract from it 
those that are of special interest for the veterinarian and present 
them to the readers of the Review as soon as possible. At the 
same time I give you the principal resolutions passed at the last 
meeting which relate to veterinary medicine: 
The Congress, considering that the constant progress of tu¬ 
berculosis of bovines threatens seriously public wealth and 
health, that contagion is the only truly efficacious cause of its 
progress, insists upon the urgent necessity of legislative action 
ordering : 
(a) Separation of diseased from healthy animals ; (d) Inter¬ 
diction of sale of diseased animals, for any other objects but 
slaughtering ; (c) Inspection of dairies, producing milk for pub¬ 
lic alimentation, and immediate killing of all cows affected with 
tuberculous mammitis ; (d) Sterilization or at least pasteuriza¬ 
tion of the milk for the making of butter and cheese ; (e) Gen-- 
eralization of a service of inspection of meat, on a plan more or 
less similar to that which has existed in Belgium for several 
years. A. R. 
THE REVIEW AND THE OMAHA MEETING. 
Many Review readers are not members of the U. S. V. M. A.; 
many who are both members of the Association and readers of' 
this journal will be unable to make the journey and engage in 
the deliberations of the convention. They are none the less 
interested in the proceedings and jealous of the success of the 
meeting. They will anxiously await the news of its personnel 
and profit by the papers and discussions which take place. 
They will, however, miss the pleasure of the trip, the genial 
fellowship of the members from all points of the national com¬ 
pass, and the splendid programme of entertainment which we 
published in the August issue. They will not enjoy the intel¬ 
lectual programme quite so well as though they were upon the
