to the Review, that after this number the journal will not be sent 
to them, unless their dues come forthwith. 
BELGIAN VETERINAKY CONGRESS. 
A national congress of veterinarians is to be held on the 8th 
of July at Cureghem les-Bruxelles, to celebrate the fiftieth anni¬ 
versary of national independence. The congress will last three 
days, and will be occupied with the discussion of professional sub¬ 
jects. Among the principal questions will be, 1st, Veterinary 
Deontology: 2d, The Inspection of Alimentary Animal Pro¬

Jurisprudence); 4th, The Organization of the Civil Veterinary 
Service. 
Invitations have been sent to veterinarians of Europe, and 
even of America, and we have no doubt this congress will mark

have received, and wish our Belgian colleagues all the success 
they may desire,
