literary programme. 
Sanitary Subjects. —Secretary Stewart writes under date of 
June 21 : “The sanitary papers to be considered at this meet¬ 
ing should induce every board of health in this country to send 
its veterinarian as a delegate to take part in the discussions, and 
if the matter was brought to the attention of these boards by 
veterinarians it is probable that many would be delegated. The 
following subjects will be presented : ‘ Municipal Meat Inspec¬ 
tion,’ ‘ Dairy Inspection,’ ‘ Disinfection (person and. premises),’ 
‘ Suppression of Tuberculosis.’ They are all live and impor¬ 
tant problems for boards of health and live-stock sanitary com¬ 
missions. The discussion on ‘ Municipal Meat Inspection ’ will 
be opened by Dr. E. B. Ackerman, veterinarian to the Brooklyn 
Board of Health. The Doctor has had several vears of practi¬ 
cal experience. Dr. John W. Adams, of the Philadelphia Board 
of Health, will also take part in the discussion.” 
Most of the subjects and essayists have already been an¬ 
nounced in the various issues of the Review, but that the ex¬ 
tent and scope may be fully realized we recapitulate them here, 
with the additions furnished by the Secretary : 
Dr. W. H. Dalrymple, of Louisiana, “ Dietetics.” 
Dr. Roscoe R. Bell, of New York, “ Acetanilid as an Anti¬ 
pyretic for the Horse.” 
Dr. C. C. McLean, of Pennsylvania, u Dairying from a Pure 
Milk Standpoint.”
