the Caesarian operation on a cow, saving the lives of both cow and 
calf. The proper time to administer ergot was discussed, as was 
also whether or not to suture the uterus. Dr. L. McLean thought 
it strange that the temperature in this case had not risen higher 
than 103° Far. 
Dr. J. Gerth, jr., favored the Association with a report of the 
recent outbreak ot glanders in Newark, N. J., in which he cen¬
