CII?,CTJIi.A-I?, OF THE 



Academy of Veleiinary Medicine and Surgefy, 



CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. 



[an" incorporated institution.] 



The object in establishing an Academy of Veterinary Mkdicine and Surgery 

 in this city, is to educate persons by practical and clinical teaching for the practice 

 of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery on all the inferior orders of creation, which are 

 the subjects of derangements, maladies, and accidents. 



The necessity for an institution of this kind is evident from the fact, that the 

 husbandmen of this and other States are the owners of live stock to an immense 

 amount of money ; hence have great interests at stake in the welfare and treatment 

 of diseases incidental to the same. 



Hitherto tho means for education in Veterinary art and science, have been very 

 limited, and a vast number of the finest stock in the country die prematurely ; many 

 of them of unnecessary diseases, which might be prevented by proper attention to 

 the laws of physiology, and the rational practice of Veterinary science. 



The Veterinary schools of Europe are quite numerous, and rank high in public 

 estimation ; they are fostered by governments, associations of husbandmen, and pri- 

 vate individuals ; and the professional attainments of the graduates of such schools 

 command the respect and confidence of the world. 



The study and pursuit of Veterinary science offers a new professional field of use- 

 fulness and emolument for the young men of this country, and it is probable that 

 educated VeteiiHiariana will soon find remunerative employment in the service of tbe 

 Government
