animal pointing as in poll evil ; does not like to have his throat 
handled; gulps his water; does not in the commencement drink 
very much; some days, in drinking, the water runs out of the 
nostrils; the ears and legs do not get so cold as in inflammation 
of the lungs; in bad cases the pulse increases in beat; from 
the start the animal does not hang his head, keeps it well 
up ; does not look at his sides. In some cases, in the last few days 
of the disease, all the organs in the body seem affected; the 
brain, bronchial tubes, lungs and kidneys; in fact, no part seems 
to escape the inflammation. 
I treat the case the way the animal seems affected ; external 
if the brain seems affected. I use cold water over that organ; 
if the lungs and pleura seem affected, I counter-irritate the side 
of that organ ; if the throat is very sore, I counter-irritate there. 
For the internal treatment, I give tr. aconite root and fid. ext. 
belladonna combined in medical doses every four hours; also give 
tartar emetic with minute doses of aloes, every four hours, given 
alternately with the aconite and belladonna. When the animal 
has made a decided improvement and begins to lie down, I use 
the tartar emetic and aloes alone, given only three times a day. 
When the case seems out of danger and eats well, give tonics and 
stimulants in his food. If the disease was not produced by too 
bad exposure, they generally make a good recovery.

VETERINARY FRAUDS. 
We reprint from one of our exchanges an article with the 
above title, which deserves the attention of both the public and 
the members of the veterinary profession. 
After referring to the necessity which is making itself mani¬ 
fest, for the cultivation of veterinary medicine, because of the 
important part it is called to play in the interest of our domestic 
animals, the writer brings forward the subject of the organization 
of private veterinary schools and their necessary consequences, 
viz.: the letting loose upon' the country of a cloud of veterinary 
graduates, with the influence that this may exert because of the
