NECROLOGY. 
179 
ductions are enumerated in his description of the Royal Veteri¬ 
nary School; they touch chiefly upon special anatomical observa¬ 
tions, physiological experiments relating particularly to the 
rapidity of the circulation, after a new method which was subse¬ 
quently fully endorsed by Vierordt in Tubingen. In consequence 
of these productions he received, on the occasion of the dedication 
of the new University in Tubingen, from the medical faculty 
(honoris causa ) the diploma of Doctor of Medicine. Hering com¬ 
piled the annual report pertaining to the progress of veterinary 
science for Canstatt & Eisenman’s annual renort since 1846. Of 
his independent works may be mentioned the following : Physi¬ 
ology for Veterinary Surgeons, 1832. Lectures for the Lovers 
of the Horse, with drawings by Baumeister, 1834. On Cow-pox 
in Cows, 1839. Special Pathology and Therapeutics for Veteri¬ 
nary Surgeons, 1842, 1849 and 1858. The Veterinary Materia 
Medica, 1847, 1855. Handbook of Operative Surgery, with 
Lithographic Plates. 1857, 1865, 1879. 
He furnished numerous practical as well as scientific treatises 
for the Repertorium der Thierheilkunde, which journal he edited 
1839-1875, and from then until the time of his death reported 
(in the Repertorium) the most interesting extracts from for¬ 
eign journals. He endeavored, and succeeded with the co-opera¬ 
tion of other zealous professional men, to elevate veterinary 
science to such a standard that it can well compare with human 
medicine and other sciences. He was an active member of sev¬ 
eral of the most prominent academies of Europe, and received 
most honorable distinction, not only from those corporations, but 
also from emperors and kings. 
As teacher he received undivided approbation ; his lectures 
were clear and to the point; in the clinical field he commanded 
the implicit confidence of high and low. In the surgical depart¬ 
ment he proceeded with wonderful precision and dexterity. His 
colleagues at home and abroad showed him the greatest possible 
courtesy. 
Closing a most deserving and praiseworthy life, Prof. v. Her¬ 
ing passed away March 28, 1881, highly esteemed and honored 
by all who knew him, and particularly by his scholars, who will 
always remember him with gratitude and reverence.
