The First Border Veterinary Hos­pital has been established at McAllen at the camp of the First Brigade un­der charge of B r . R. J , Kerwin, Br ig ­ade Verterinariaii, with accommoda­tions for thirty horses and mules. The building is ninety feet long by twenty-five feet wide, with a center walk the entire length. The building runB north and south, thus giving both easterly and westerly sun exposure. A t the southerly end is located Dr. Kerwin 's quarters, the pharmacy and grain rooms. As near as combatable with service conditions, a well equipped operating room is being established next to the pharmacy, while at the north, end of the building wil l bo the stocks for unruly animals. The hospit­al was formely opened on the 9th of November, and on the following day twenty animals were housed there un­der treatment. The north end of the hospital is for the contagious and fever cases, while the injured and lame ani­mals wi l l occupy the south end.

The staff consists of Dr. Kerwin, Brigade Veterinarian; Sergeant S. G. Lil lyman, former Active Brigade Vet­erinarian, 1st Brigade, replacing Dr. J . J . Ash, invalided to San Antonio hos­pital in August with paratyphoid, now recovered and on duty at Fort Sam Houston, and a corps of four privates, J . Boedecker, 7th Inf.; A . J . Dona-van, 3rd Arab.: Frank Hamilton, 69th Inf., and John O'Bouke, 12th Inf., who are especially fitted for this work. Both veterinarians are known for their successful accomplishments in veterin­ary practice in the service and in c iv i l life, Dr. Kerwin coming from Minne­sota and Dr. Li l lyman from Binghnmp-ton, N . Y . Sergeant Lil lyman came to the Border with the First Ambu­lance Company, and was transferred to the Second Field Hospital when the First went home to await mustering out of field service. Dr. Lillymen ex­pects to remain a veterinarian in the Federal Service. Both practioners have been appealed to by local stock own­ers when in trouble, there being no local veterinarians in this part of the country.

The hospital is located directly east of the 69th Inf., parade grounds and north of the 3rd Field Arti l lery. Mem­bers of the 6th Division, TJ. S. A . are cordially invited to inspect this new efficiency station.
