524 VETERINARY BENEVOLENT AND DEFENCE SOCIETY. 
silent and sorrowing homes of our poor and destitute professional 
brethren, their orphans and widows, u comfort and consolation” 
from our benevolent fund: and, gentlemen, depend upon it it will 
be much more highly appreciated and valued because it is the noble 
work of the whole body of the veterinary profession. 
The Secretary then read the annual report of the Society, from 
which it appeared that the influence of the society was beginning 
to be extensively felt ; it also alluded in feeling terms to the 
mournful fact that during the last year no fewer than four of the 
members had been removed by death, and thirty-five members 
struck off for non-payment of subscriptions. 
The report having been adopted the Treasurer then read the 
financial statement, showing the very prosperous condition in which 
the Society exists financially.
