constitutional disturbance is marked are those where purulent in¬ 
filtrations give rise to a pyaemia condition, with embolic abscesses, 
and if death occurs in any case, it will be from this secondary 
pyaemia. 
Mortality .—I have not heard of any deaths from the disease. 
Spread of the disease .—At this time of the year, the farm¬ 
ers of Salem and Gloucester Counties take their truck to Phila¬ 
delphia by road. The horses are watered from a common 
bucket, and have their noses sponged out with a common sponge, 
at Mullica Hill, Mantua, Woodbury and Westville. 
If any gentleman on your staff wishes to experiment with the 
virus, I shall be glad to forward some.

ENGLISH VETERINARY CONGRESS. 
We are indebted to the kindness of Prof. Duncan for the es¬ 
says read at the Veterinary Congress held in London in July. 
Presided over by Mr. George Fleming, the world-known vet¬ 
erinarian, the profession was largely represented by members 
from the old and new world, Prof. Duncan no doubt represent¬ 
ing Canada, and we hope that Dr. C. P. Lyman was there also to 
represent the United States. 
The object of the Congress, as stated in the paper read b}^ 
Dr. G. A. Bauham is, “ to promote and advance veterinary sci¬ 
ence and maintain the honor and interests of the veterinary pro¬ 
fession.” 
The establishment of such an association certainly marks an 
era in the history of British veterinary science, and judging from 
the large attendance, and the enthusiasm and earnestness of those 
present, it is not too much to expect that these meetings will, in 
the future, not only unite and strengthen the members of the pro¬ 
fession, but that they will also serve as an incentive to original 
investigation and research in all the branches of veterinary sci¬ 
ence. These meetings of earnest and progressive veterinarians 
can but be productive of much good to the general public, as 
well as to the profession.
