 animal having some surgical disease. 



In both cases the candidate is isolated, and has to prepare a 

 written history of his patients and their diseases, their pathology, 

 treatment, and the probable results of the case. 



The oral examination takes place in each case after the written 

 descriptions have been handed in. The candidate must prepare the 

 medicines exhibited to the patients. 



The candidate has, further, to perform, demonstrate, and explain 

 three surgical operations upon a living animal ; also, to demonstrate 

 two fresh or dried officinal vegetable preparations, as well as to

 branch consists of two members. 



The conclusive examination can extend over all branches of 

 study, so far as they have not been the object of sj)ecia] examina- 

 tions in the above sections. 



Only four candidates can be examined at one time, which must 

 take place under the supervision of the director and at least three 

 other members. Each member of the commission must occupy at 

 least ten to fifteen minutes with each candidate. 



A special written report must be made with reference to the 

 examination of each candidate in each branch, and indorsed by each 

 member of the commission.

 repetition must take place in the next year, and may extend itself 

 to all branches of study.
