pleasure to hear was the designation of “ the Boss” ( le Patron ), 
applied to him by those who attended his instructions. 
But above all other things, Henry Bouley was a veterinarian, 
and no man was ever more proud of any title than he of this. 
Yeterinarian he was, nor would he consent to be anything else ; 
and it is the judgment of the profession, referring to the achieve¬ 
ments of Pasteur, that the work of that discoverer has, with 
Bouley’s aid, produced effects in fifty years which would have

History, and “ La Nature Yivante de la Contagion,” the last of

scientific discoveries of Mr. Pasteur, of whom he had become the 
admirer, the great supporter and the strongest champion; and it 
was largely through his lectures, and his powerful and elaborate 
methods of elucidation and discussion, that the veterinary profes¬ 
sion and the medical world soon became convinced of the truth 
of the noble results achieved and claimed by the great French 
chemist. 
Bouley was—we repeat the phrase—a great veterinarian, a
