CORRESPONDENCE, 
and so would like to see that measure tested in many ways, some 
of which might be : the result of inoculation of animals already 
ejected ; whether or not it hastens the result, as shown by Pas¬ 
teur in his experiments in inoculation with anthrax. (If it should, 
then it would not do to inoculate cattle that had been exposed to 
the infection); if any pulmonary complications follow inocula¬ 
tion—it has been so reported—and what they are; will the 
inoculation of perfectly free cattle promote the natural infection; 
and last, but not least, does an inoculated animal have immunity 
against any form of the disease. 
Yours very truly,

A COMMENDABLE SELECTION. 
Editor of American Veterinary Keview : 
At a recent meeting of the faculty of the Veterinary Depart¬ 
ment of the University of Pennsylvania, Mr. W. L. Zuill, M. I)., 
D. V.S., of Philadelphia, was selected to till the chair of surgery 
in the school. The appointment of Dr. Zuill to this high honor 
has been well received by the fraternity in Pennsylvania. Grad¬ 
uating at the American Veterinary College in the year 1880, and 
at the Medical Department of the University in 1884 with 
high honors, this distinction comes at an early year of his life, but 
his successful career as a student in both of the former schools, 
and his marked success as a practitioner in Philadelphia, have all 
made this selection one due to merit and worth. It is alike a 
high tribute to the high standard of teaching of the American 
Veterinary College and was for her an additional honor, as an 
educator in the ranks of the profession, to the long train now 
following her representatives. In order to add the value of the 
methods of surgery of other schools, Dr. Zuill will spend a 
number of months in several of the leading veterinary schools of 
Europe.
