    ESTABLISHMENT FOR VACCINATION WITH CALF LYMPH, 228, MAEYLEBONE EOAD, LONDON, N.W. The Lymph is derived from four different outbreaks of sponta- neous Cow-pox, yiz.:—Bordeaux, Beaugency (France); Esneau (Belgium); Cohasset (America). The calves are carefully selected and remain under constant supervision of a qualified Veterinary Surgeon. Their temperature is noted, and every care is taken to keep them in good health and order. The stables are fitted with approved sanitary arrange- ments. The establishment is open throughout to medical gentle- men as well as others interested in the subject to afford every opportunity of examination. The advantages of CaK Lymph over Lymph of long humani- zation, which has been amply tested by millions of cases on the Continent,* in America, f and in this country, may be thus briefly stated:— I. —The danger of imparting infectious and other diseases, the most important and well fomided objection to vaccination from human beings, is absolutely avoided. II. —On the other hand there is no fear of communicating any disease from which the calf may suffer. For of these very few only are at all transferable to man, and are so easily discovered, that no calf suffering from any of them is likely to be received for vaccination. Besides it is a general experience, that, whenever the vaccinated calves get out of health, the pustules fail to appear. • Belgium,Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland, Rusfiia. t See Martin.
