EDITORIAL. 
CLOSING VOLUME XXIV. 
Subscribers to the volume which closes with this number 
can have, we think, but little reason to find fault with the pub- 
) 1 CS t in size and in importance of 
contents of any that have ever been issued in the quarter of a 
century it has existed. In the twelve monthly numbers com¬ 
prising Volume XXIV there have been printed 50 leading edi¬ 
torial articles upon scientific and economic subjects, the latter 
including topics appertaining to the welfare of the profession 
at home, in the State and National legislatures, association 
work, and wherever a discussion could be of service to a subject 
by bringing it prominently before our readers. In the depart¬ 
ment of u Original Articles ” there have appeared as the pro¬ 
ductions of writers of both hemispheres 42 separate papers, 
some of them requiring three or four issues to complete the 
subject, occupying in all 360 pages of the Review. While our 
readers have not availed themselves of our oft-repeated invita¬ 
tion to build up our practical knowledge of pathology by report¬ 
ing their interesting cases, the department of “Reports of 
Cases ” has contained 30 of such contributions, many of them 
accompanied by photos, which we have reproduced to elucidate 
the subject of the report. The “ Department of Surgery ” has 
been a feature of the volume, and he who preserves the twelve 
numbers will have a valuable treatise upon veterinary surgery 
of the modern scientific kind, to be supplemented in Volume 
869
