    Knowing this to be the case, and that the opinion I now tender will be found to be an established fact, I again repeat, the bill in itself is but a half measure ; and unless the local authorities throughout Scotland supply the element which it wants, viz., a rigid exclusion of all diseased animals from our markets and dairies, it might almost as well never have passed into law. The landlords and tenants of dairies in burghs and other populous places throughout Scotland, are now called upon—compelled—to lay out money in improving their condition, and will only be allowed to keep a certain number of cattle within them; and if the authorities do not bestir themselves immediately, and put down those indivi- duals who traffic in every variety of diseased cattle, thereby spreading cattle plagues broadcast over the land, ruining cattle proprietors, and feeding the community upon diseased meat and milk, I do hope the public and the press will not delay in calling them to account. The Lecture was listened to throughout with much in- terest, and elicited frequent applause. Fraser & Ferguson, Printers, 116 St Vincent Street,
