of various months of the Review in order to satisfy the demand. 
This, of course, is due to the variety and excellence of material 
which we have presented to our readers, and to a better selection

Washington, to point him out as the proper person for the position

ever created, as we have good reason to believe it will be, sooner 
or later. 
CESTODE TUBERCULOSIS IN THE CALF. 
It is with pleasure that we call the attention of our readers to 
the series of experiments which were made by Prof. W. Osier, 
of McGill University, Montreal. It is long since we have heard 
from the friends of the veterinary profession in Canada, and we 
look upon the receipt of this excellent article as the forerunner of 
others which we may expect to yeceive from our Canadian
