EDITORIAL, 
AMERICAN VETERINARY REVIEW. 
As we announced it in tlie last number of our first volume, the 
life of the Review is now a certain thing, and the fear that some 
of our friends might have entertained towards its permanent suc¬ 
cess is now a doubt of the past, much, probably, to the discomfi¬ 
ture of a few. 
But watching, as we have done for years past, the progress of 
veterinary medicine in America, and satisfied as we are of the 
importance of such a periodical, we felt that the mere fact of 
starting this publication was not sufficient, and that unless march¬ 
ing with the advancement of our science and making improve¬ 
ments in its appearance, we would not do justice to the great 
patronage we have received. To that effect, and with that object 
in view, we have taken steps to have the Review increased in 
size; and we are pleased to announce, that from this first number 
of our second volume, each month will bring to our readers 46 
pages of reading matter. Our correspondents now will not have 
to wait for months to see their articles published, and our sub¬ 
scribers will thus be always kept posted as to the most advanced 
progress of veterinary medicine. 
A cheap publication is not always the best, it is true, but low 
price does not necessarily exclude quality—and in this, also, we 
have made progress. The Review is now offered for $4.00 a year, 
and will make at the end of the year a nice volume of about 500 
pages of interesting reading subjects. 
We hope that with these changes Veterinarians of the United 
States will continue to look upon the Review as the true repre¬ 
sentative of American Veterinary medicine, and as the means of 
protecting their professional interest; and in so doing will still 
give us their patronage and their kind assistance.

No one will deny, that if the standing of the veterinary pro 
fession is yet so low in the United States, it is not due to the
