THE FARMERS’ VETERINARY ADVISER; Third Edition. THE LUNG 
PLAGUE OF CATTLE, CONTAGIOUS PLEURO-PNEUMONIA. 
By James Law, F.R.C.V.S., Cornell University, N. Y. 
The reaching of a third edition of Prof. Law’s work at so 
early a period attests the reception it lias met from those for 
whom it was especially intended. What value it has as a text¬ 
book is already so well understood hy the profession that comments 
at this time would seem out of place. 
The monograph upon the “ Lung Plague,” which is bound 
also with the “Adviser” and constitutes the principal alteration 
from the previous editions, is published in pamphlet form of 100 
pages and contains the author’s opinions of the disease as deduced 
from his recent experience while acting as one of the staff of 
Cattle Commissioners of the State of New York. The measures 
adopted by the State for stamping-out the plague have presumably 
been the same as those recommended in this pamphlet, and will 
prove of interest to the citizens of New York as well as to the 
profession generally.
