EDITORIAL.

We will conclude this series of articles by an appeal to our Quar¬ 
termaster-General in behalf of our army bretbern, satisfied by 
what we have already seen of the interest be takes in the matter, 
that be will give us bis kind attention on a subject so important 
and so advantageous to the efficiency of our cavalry. 
ITALIAN VETERINARY CONGRESS. 
We would call the attention of the members of the profession 
to the translation of the programme which we have received. 
The work laid down for that body of Italian veterinarians is 
one which might be very advantageously followed by our friends 
of the United States Veterinary Medical Association. Whv 
don’t the President of that honorable body, with the different 
committees he has at his disposal, get up such a programme for 
subsequent meetings. The reading of private papers, of prize 
essays, with the presentation of specimens, is all very good, 
no doubt, but are we so thoroughly perfect and organized that 
the questions which have been discussed in Germany and in 
France years past, and a few days ago in Italy, can be ignored 
by us in our young life ? 
A NEW DEPARTURE. 
It was decided at the last meeting of the United States 
Veterinary Medical Association that the subscription for the 
Review be reduced to $3.00 a year for veterinary students 
only, as long so they are in college. Any new subscriber to the 
4th volume, beginning in April, 1880, will receive the Review 
free of charge from October, 1879 —six numbers. 
NOTICE. 
We have to remind many of our friends that the Review is 
not a speculative undertaking, and that the products from the 
subscriptions are entirely used for improvement in the carrying 
on of the work. Those amongst them who have overlooked the 
settlement of their fees will be kind enough to send us their re- 
mittence on Postal Order Station G., N. Y.
