She was given an eleeturary of spirits of turpentine and croton 
oil. Half an hour after, she manifested all the symptoms of vom¬ 
iting. Careful examination of the left jugular groove failed to 
reveal the existence of oesophageal jabot, but gave rise to signs 
of pain, and were soon accompanied by the rejection of a certain 
quantity of an acid liquid by both nostrils. This vomiting was 
repeated several times. Expecting a fatal termination, the animal 
was left alone, and she soon laid down, moving her extremities 
violently at times, then suddenly, after a strong effort, remaining 
perfectly quiet. As the nurse who attended her went to remove 
the surcingle and the blanket which covered her, she suddenly 
rose, and seemed to have entirely recovered. She has since then 
been at regular work, and enjoys excellent health.— Ibid. 
SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
UNITED STATES VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
The twenty-second annual meeting of the United States 
Veterinary Medical Association will be hold at the Grand Hotel, 
Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday, Sept. 16th. at 10 A. M. 
It might be stated, as an extra inducement for Eastern veter¬ 
inarians to attend this meeting, that on the night of Sept., 17th 
the Order Cincmnatus will have a grand parade. The Cincinnati 
Industrial Exposition will also be in progress at that time. It will 
be well, on account of the crowded condition of the hotels, to secure 
rooms in advance of Mr. Gilmore, Grand Hotel, Cincinnati. 
In reference to routes west, Dr. J. Meyers, Jr., writes me 
that in his opinion the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Hail- 
road is the shortest; the New York Central and Lake Shore is 
the nicest route, and the Baltimore and Ohio Hailroad, for 
natural scenery, hills, valleys and rough country, is most notable.
