have so persistently held to their existance as in “ La Belle 
France.” A ranch esteemed writer speaks of the miracles of St. 
Hubert, St. Antons, St. Aloys, in a way scarcely equalled by Cato 
and the most obscure Greek Hippiaters. The most noted work 
was “ Le parfait Marechal de Solleysel,” first edition, Paris, 1664, 
and which was translated into many languages; the book has no 
scientific value. Saunier “la parfait connoissance des chevaux” 
1734, and Gaerincre, “Ecole de la Gavalleree,” 1754, were no im¬ 
provement on the same. 
Under the direction of Scotti a small Veterinary Institute had 
already been called into existence in Vienna, which was rebuilt un¬ 
der Joseph II, the basis of the present extensive establishment being 
laid by Wolstein. Miinchen, Dresden, Hanover, Stuttgart, Carls- 
ruhe all followed in course of time. A school was erected in 
Spain in 1793 ; in Italy schools are to be found in Turin, Milan, 
Naples, and Bologna. In England, at London, Edinburgh and 
Glasgow; in Holland, at Utrecht; in Denmark, at Copenhagen; 
and Sweden, at Scara, while in Russia the Dorpat Institute is 
noted for its many scientific contributions. 
Other contributors to the value of comparative studies in the 
field of medicine were Ignaz Dollinger, (1770-81,) the untiring 
naturalist, who, to illustrate the gigantic strides of science, fre¬ 
quently began a new year’s lecture with the remark, that what he 
had the previous year lectured was no more true ; Lorenz Oken, 
(1779-1851); Carlasmund Rudolphi in Berlin ; as well as John 
Fried. Mechel, (1781-1833), and Cams, who all clearly demon¬ 
strated the many-sidedness and variety of the organic world. 
Further should be mentioned Diedmann, Kirby, Grafenhorst, 
John Hunter, IV. Kooke, Laennec, Dupuytren, Otto Proschaska 
and others. 
With Rudolphi worked Diedericlis and Her twig. They were 
not only well known as teachers at the Berlin school, but also by 
their work in the field of veterinary surgery—the latter espe¬ 
cially by his contributions to physiological actions, as well as toxi¬ 
cological of medicamenta, and his clearing of the question with 
regard to the existence and genesis of lyssa. 
This direction found its turning point in the physiological
