Ligniere, published in the February Review, in conjunction 
with the latest treatment for parturient paresis. 
The successful candidates at the recent examinations of 
veterinarians for first rank in the United States Army were 
Veterinarians McMurdo, Lemay, Treacy, Griffin, Lusk and 
Plummer. Poor Treacy, who labored so long and hard for the 
cause which made the examinations possible, lived just long 
enough to learn that he had passed. While the standard of the 
service will be fought for at the next session of Congress with 
renewed energy, the counsel and help of the deceased will be 
sorely missed.

source, be it man, the dumb beasts, fowls or fishes, is one and 
the same organism.
