ITS COLLATERAL AND TERMINAL BRANCHES.

An investigation of the literature of the diseases of arteries 
and specially of embolism, will give very little satisfaction, if 
made through English veterinary works. English periodicals, 
specially the Yeterinary Journal , present their readers only with 
a few observations, and most of those are taken from continental 
papers. Williams, in his excellent work on Practice, gives to the 
subject, in the article on arteritis and embolism, only a short notice. 
French and German authors have, on the contrary, given a good 
deal of attention to this important lesion, and thanks to the long 
series of observations made and reported by Prof. A. Goubaux, 
of Alfort, and Prof. Bollinger, of Munich, veterinarians have be¬ 
come quite familiar with these diseases.
