CONSOLIDATION OF VETERINARY COLLEGES. 
The American and the Columbia Veterinary Colleges have 
consolidated. The students of the latter have matriculated and 
will terminate their studies in the first named institution, and the 
alumni of the latter will be admitten to ad Eduem degrees, un¬ 
der rules and regulations prescribed by the faculty of the Ameri¬ 
can Veterinary College. 
Whatever may have been the causes which have hastened this 
consolidation, the veterinary profession at large, and especially 
that of the State of New York, will, we believe, be pleased to hear 
of an event so important to the profession. It is a fact compli¬ 
mentary to both institutions that their respective officers have by 
mutual agreements and concessions, succeeded in bringing about 
this consolidation. The profession in the State, and indeed, 
throughout the country, will gain by it. A more thorough educa¬ 
tional training will be secured, better feelings will be established 
between the veterinarians who will become the alumni of one 
alma mater , and the State of New York will continue to be what 
it has always been in the past, the center of veterinary educa¬ 
tion for the country.

This is not mere hypothesis; it is a demonstrated reality. 
Do not the tuberculoid tumors which are found in the lungs 
whenever any living particles are disseminated in their substance, 
get uniformly by stimulating around them the fiuxus and the 
subsequent modifications of the organic network of which these 
tumors are the exception ? Such, for instance, as those pseudo 
tubercles which have been so well observed by Mr. Colin, which 
have their nuclei so firmly lodged in the extremities of the
