give daily or weekly examinations into the progress of the classes, 
and to help those who were daily struggling with trying ques¬ 
tions. 
On State and city boards of health five graduates from this 
school have given efficient service, and their usefulness and worth 
in this regard has many times shown itself in remarkable propor¬ 
tions, and brought before the cities, States and nation the neces¬ 
sity of having such members on their staff. The outbreak of 
glanders in Newark, N. J., that so long existed as a calamitous 
danger to her people and the noble animals that must ever do 
man’s bidding, was moved upon by one of our number, and to his 
vigilance and persistency, in that they have placed the disease 
under the most rigid control, much credit is due. Many such in¬ 
stances could be enumerated, alike the preservation of our infan¬ 
tile population from the dangers of tubercular and otherwise 
tainted food and milk. Their vast usefulness in this direction is a 
subject for much deliberation among us, and we should not wait 
for boards to call us to these positions, but we should constantly 
agitate among the people their necessity, and thus arouse them 
to demand such representation for their safety and welfare.

TORSION OF THE UTERUS IN A MARE-DEATH. 
By John A. Myek, D.Y.S. 
I report a case which may be of interest to some of the readers 
of the Review : 
I was called to see a mare a short time since, reported to be 
pregnant and eleven months gone. History given, that she had 
been showing colicy pains at different times for about three days, 
though never failing to eat, and appeared to be in perfect health 
except when those pains would strike her, which were about as 
follows: 
First day, she was being worked (as was the custom previous 
to that), and was unusually slow and soon attempted to lie down ; 
the harness was removed, mare turned into a <rrass-field, laid down.
