Orient. Mrs. Schwarzkopf will remain in the vicinity of New 
York until the Doctor has an opportunity to know something 
of his destiny. While the Army will gain a valuable vet¬ 
erinary officer, and the profession a representative in the service 
who will reflect credit and dignity upon it, thereby materially 
assisting in the elevation of the service, the profession at home 
will lose an esteemed and hard-working colleague, for he was 
ever ready with his pen and voice to assist in any movement 
looking to its advancement. Especially will Review readers 
miss his valuable editorial contributions. But our last note 
from him as he hurried to catch the train for his long journey 
was : “ Will forward notes from China for Review if at all 
possible.” We invoke the blessings of the Deity upon the 
good Doctor. May his trip be safe, and his return certain.

continuing on the 5th and 6th, while the generous hearted 
veterinarians of that section, unwilling to take the members

national body in their midst, have arranged a delightful series 
of events for the 7th, including a visit to the great laboratory 
of Parke, Davis & Co., where luncheon will be served, and a 
picturesque steamer trip, at the termination of which a u frog 
and fish ” supper will be the entertainment while the members 
are engaged in pleasant social communion. Carefully study the 
programme and ask yourself the question : u Can I afford to stay 
at home ? ” -
