[To ma Enna or rev esmerova."!

Sre,—May I bring to your readers' notice a book called The Under Dog. which is published by the Animate Guardian? This book gives a great deal of information on the subject of the worn-out horse truffle, and it shows, in, I think, an unbiassed way, what steps might be taken to make it compulsory to slaughter the animals before shipment. It is really a matter for the public, and if they would try to get the assistance of any Members of Parliament I think much might be done. The Under Dog is quite a ebeap publication.—I am, Sir, Ste.,
