EDITORIAL, 
SANITARY STATEMENTS. 
We have several times referred our readers to an important 
resolution which was adopted by the Fourth International Veter¬ 
inary Congress, at their session last year at Brussels. The sub¬ 
ject of the resolution is one of very material interest, and 
concerns not only the people of Europe, but our own, in an equal 
if not a greater degree. We reprint the resolution : 
“ That between the various States which, by a regular re¬ 
pressive and preventive service, may furnish guarantees of a good 
Veterinary Sanitary Police, a Convention shall be established, 
having for its objects—First, to advise other States with as little 
delay as possible, of the appearance of typhus, pleuro-pneumonia, 
foot and mouth disease, small-pox, diseases of coit, glanders and 
farcy, scabies in sheep. Second—To publish a periodical sanitary 
bulletin upon these diseases, their extent, progress and termina¬ 
tion ; which documents shall also be inserted in the international 
bulletin, if deemed advisable.” 
We are already in the receipt, from various parts of Europe, 
of bulletins of similar scope to those contemplated by the resolu¬ 
tion, and shall lay them before our readers in a subsequent issue of 
the Review as extensively as our limits will permit. Meanwhile, 
in order to comply with the suggestions of the resolution of the 
Congress, and to be able to reciprocate with our foreign col. 
leagues the complimentary attention we have received, by the 
transmission of the interesting matter which has reached our 
hands, we propose to collect from every section of the country, 
or wherever our Review circulates or is read, the statements and 
documents necessary to furnish an intelligible and thorough san¬ 
itary and professional index of the vital condition of our domestic 
animals, with reference to their sanitary status.
