•American Veterinary Review, 
NOVEMBER, 1883. 
FOURTH INTERNATIONAL VETERINARY CONGRESS, 
EDITORIAL. 
Having received many inquiries about the work done at the 
Fourth International Veterinary Congress held at Brussels on 
the 10th of September, and many persons having expressed a de¬ 
sire to read a complete record of the transactions, including the 
discussions upon the various subjects presented, we have decided 
to devote the November Review to a translation of the minutes 
as they were presented in the Congress. The only question 
that has been omitted is that upon the sale of drugs by veterina¬ 
rians—one in which it has been thought American practitioners 
have but little interest. To facilitate the understanding of the 
discussions, we present first, the conclusions submitted by each 
reporter on the four principal questions which can be of any in¬ 
terest on this side of the Atlantic. 
PRESENTATION OF SUBJECTS. 
ON THE ORGANIZATION OF THE VETERINARY SERVICE. 
Conclusions Submitted by A. Zundel, Reporter of the Committee. 
1st.—Organize in every country a sanitary veterinary service, 
engaged exclusively for all that pertains to veterinary science, 
whose members shall be the advisers of every department of 
the Government, and which (most particularly) shall be directly 
represented near the central authorities—that veterinary medi¬ 
cine shall have there her chief of service.
