1. Operations upon the cadaver or surgical anatomy. 
2. Operations upon cheap subjects, under anaesthesia, full 
details of technique being carefully observed, the animal to be 
destroyed while under anaesthesia, or by other means, having 
due regard for humanitarian ideas—we might denominate this 
surgical exercises. 
3. Carefully graded operations upon patients with definite 
valuable results in view, which we may distinguish as clinical 
surgery proper. In this latter course it is requisite to the high¬ 
est results to have ample hospital accommodations where all 
major cases can be detained and the results minutely followed 
by the student. We require each student to keep daily records 
of cases in his charge to be properly filed in the clinical archives 
of the school. 
The subject needs much study and elaboration. The course 
of exercises on the cadaver designed by Professor Adams is ad¬ 
mirable, while the little volumes of Pfeiffer u Operations-Cur- 
sus ” and Cadiot’s “Exercises de Chirurgie Hippique,” the 
latter of which has been badly translated into English, offer 
suggestions of great value to teachers. These two little vol¬ 
umes should be carefully translated into English and made 
available for American students. 
We hope that the near future will see a thorough awaken¬ 
ing in the methods of teaching animal surgery, resulting in 
better technique, better results and very much higher attain¬ 
ments in the profession at large.

Among the many newer preparations used as dry dressings 
in veterinary practice, europhen stands out prominently as one 
of the best. It is not only a powerful antiseptic, its properties 
in that line being more pronounced than iodoform, but is com¬ 
paratively non-poisonous. Although containing 28 per cent, 
of iodine, it liberates it so gradually when applied to secreting
