EDITORIAL. 
OUR FIFTH VOLUME. 
Once more we present ourselves before our readers, to thank 
them for their past patronage and for the assistance many of 
them have so kindly rendered. 
In issuing the first number of the fifth volume of the Re¬ 
view, it is gratifying to us to state that this representative of 
veterinary interests in the United States has met with a reception 
so kind, and a support so friendly, that necessity has arisen for 
more care, greater attention, and increased labor in its prepara¬ 
tion than it originally demanded, and that, for this reason, the 
United States Veterinary Medical Association, under which it 
was first issued, has seen fit to relieve itself of any further con¬ 
trol in its issue, and has transferred all its interests to the former 
editor. 
In accepting the onerous duty of continuing the publication 
of the Review, and all the responsibility of its issue, the editor 
fully appreciates the importance of the task before him; and 
while he deems it unnecessary for him to say that he will more 
than ever endeavor to do full justice to his position, and strive 
to lay before its readers all the current subjects of interest to the 
profession, he will take this opportunity to remind his friends 
that the pages of the Review will always remain open for any 
article worthy of publication, which practitioners may desire to 
make public ; and he hopes that in the future still more than in 
the past, members of the profession will look upon it as a means 
of exchanging their different views and experiences.
