BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
We welcome to the American veterinary library this valu¬ 
able contribution, which does much credit to the translator, 
who has so completely rewritten the book as to be its real 
author, and whose reputation for accurate information upon all 
branches of the subject of meat inspection is so well founded as 
to give the new volume a place at once among our standard 
works. 
By its publication Mr. Alex. Eger steps into the arena as a 
publisher of more pretentious veterinary literature, and we are 
pleased to note that his first effort does his house much credit, 
since he has not spared time nor money to make it worthy of 
its contents. Other works are announced as in course of prep¬ 
aration, and we bespeak for the present volume a patronage 
which shall encourage both author and publisher. 
Pathological and Surgical Studies—Experimental Researches (Etudes de 
Pathologie et de Clinique—Recherches Experimentales). By Prof. P. J. Cadiot. 
We do not know if the example laid down by Prof. Cadiot 
is followed by many of the teachers in the various veterinary 
schools of the world, but we know that in America it is not. 
To gather observations of interest in various subjects, classify 
them and publish them is certainly a work which must be of 
great advantage to all ; and, instead of remaining satisfied with 
the simple publication of a case, of a surgical operation, now 
and then, Prof. Cadiot has preferred collecting them in one 
book, and it is under this form that he offers the profession of 
the work done by him, or under his supervision, during the 
year ending October, 1898. The statistics which are at the 
beginning of the book tell not only of the general advantages 
that the clinics of the Alfort School offer to students but also 
of the amount of work done by one professor in that department ; 
9692 animals came under Prof. Cadiot during the year of 
3:897-98, and among those 1306 operations performed. The 
book then enters into the description of the subjects, and after 
a chapter giving the statistics, others follow on pathological 
and surgical clinics, pathological and medical clinics, the 
publication of numerous clinical records divided by regions, 
infectious diseases, experimental and comparative pathology, 
experimental therapeutics. 
I11 the 600 pages that the book contains the reader will find 
lots of material for thinking, records of most interesting cases, 
valuable didactic lectures, etc., etc. There are 65 figures and 
4 colored plates illustrating the text. The well-known French 
house of Asselin & Houzeau is the publisher.
