ON the diseases of stock. lie allowed the audience
to choose his text He had specimens of the horns

torng various diseases for horn-ail, which he as
serted never existed; that there was no such dis
ease lie also derived the idea that garget ought
to be treated AS local disease. The main treat
ment should he bathing in cold water. He stated
that the feeding of gargct root satpetre and like
remedies were useless, or nearly So 1t is not
speaking too highly of this lecture to say that it
was worth the whole time spent at the meeting to
