EDITORIAL. 
McKillip is President of the McKillip Veterinary College, 
Dr. Robertson is President of the Chicago Veterinary Society, 
and Dr. Merrick is an Assistant State Veterinarian practicing 
in Okawville, Ill. 
The Review has seen little in the career of Governor Tanner

organization of the u New York American Veterinary College, 
the amalgamated veterinary school of the New York University, 
lie is chosen dean of the faculty, and to crown it all news is re¬ 
ceived from Baden-Baden that he was elected Vice-President of 
the Seventh International Veterinary Congress which was in 
session there during the early part of August. We hope to be 
able to give our readers a comprehensive report of the proceed¬ 
ings of the Congress in the October issue. 
A NEW TREATMENT FOR AZOTURIA.

very interesting and valuable report of a new treatment for 
azoturia in this issue of the Review. After all that has been 
written upon this mysterious malady of the horse we are as
