EDITORIAL. 
literary contributions are delayed. The department of “ Society 
Meetings” in the present number is a perfect reflection of 
veterinary progress, and is very interesting and valuable read¬ 
ing. When our suggestion to double the Review’s circulation 
by the cooperative plan of each subscriber securing one non¬ 
reading colleague to become one also, is an accomplished fact, 
we will be enabled to enlarge the magazine to accommodate 
all. Quite a number of subscribers have grasped the idea with 
alacrity, and one or two have sent in four or five subscriptions 
for friends. The idea will grow, and the profession will reap 
the reward. 
Veterinarians who intend to prepare papers to be pre¬ 
sented at the next meeting of the American Veterinary Medical 
Association, which will be held in New York City, September 
5th, 6th, and 7!^) ^^ 99 ? should notify Secretary Stewart, 7^ 
South James Street, Kansas City, Kansas, of such intention, 
giving the title of their subject, if possible, at the earliest date. 
Dr. Saemon, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, has re¬ 
cently contributed some very interesting articles to the Breeder*s 
Gazette upon the subject of “ Texas Fever Problems.” The 
dissemination of knowledge upon such topics among the pro¬ 
gressive breeders of the country will advance our interests ma¬ 
terially. It is a step in the right direction, and should be fol¬ 
lowed by others. 
The term of office of State Veterinarian Pearson, of Penn¬ 
sylvania, expires with the incoming administration, and there 
should be a united effort on the part of the profession of the 
Keystone State to keep him in office, for his tenure of office 
has been marked by so much intelligent activity as to give 
promise of the most far-reaching results for the benefit of 
the live stock interests of the commonwealth, as well as 
dignity and popularity to the profession which he loves and 
adorns.
