CORRESPONDENCE. 
of some of the cattle. Found a great many with rinderpest and 
foot-and-mouth disease. Nothing much could be done by me 
during my short stay ; had a good many destroyed, but the dis¬ 
ease had got such a foothold it would take longer time than I 
had to get properly to work. When the disease first made its 
appearance Dr. Brown notified the authorities of the danger, but 
very little heed was taken. It was brought to the country from 
China ports. The Australian dairy suffered the greatest loss, 
some ioo cows dying inside of a fortnight. As my stay was 
limited, and to have some one carry on the work, Dr. C. N. 
Ferrier (McKillip, ’97), ex-State veterinarian of North Dakota, 
who is with the Hospital Corps, was ordered from the lines to 
report for duty at the Provost Marshal General’s office in 
Manila. I was very pleased to meet Dr. Ferrier just before I 
left Manila, and saw him go to work fighting the disease. His 
experience as a State veterinarian will stand him in good stead, 
and no doubt we will hear of his good work at Manila. 
Dr. Welsh and I returned home byway of China and Japan. 
Had a most enjoyable trip. We were in quarantine at Naga¬ 
saki, Japan, for seven days, and then I got eleven days more 
anchored outside of the harbor here. Dr. W. proceeded on to 
San Francisco and was quarantined there for fourteen days. 
Bubonic plague was the cause of our detention. 
Taking the trip all in all I enjoyed it. I was away from 
Honolulu three months. Heaving here on March 28th and 
landing on June 27th in Honolulu again. I gained in flesh to 
the amount of twenty pounds, and feel much better than when 
I left. Seeing so much on my travels, I had plenty to talk of, 
but have about exhausted myself now. 
Yours sincerely, 
W. T. Monsarrat.

Editors American Veterinary Reviezv : 
Dear Sirs :—To my report of the Schmidt treatment for 
parturient paresis, published in this month’s Review, I see you 
have added M. R. C. V. S. to my signature. This is not cor¬ 
rect, and I have no right to that title. I am registered at the 
Royal College as a veterinary practitioner and do not wish it to 
be supposed I am assuming the title of M. R. C. V. S., as it has 
never been used by me. Yours truly, 
H. Chambers.
