upon as professional , and their certificates must be conse- 
quently worthless. 
To remove misapprehension, therefore, and prevent impos- 
ture, we the undersigned, Henry Crowe, William Litt, and 
John Meredith, being all Members of the Royal College of 
Veterinary Surgeons, consider it at once just to the public, 
and due to ourselves, to state that we are the only legally re- 
cognised practitioners of the Veterinary Art resident in Shrewsbury, 
or within a circuit of at least eight miles, and, consequently, 
that all other persons practising within this district, and 
calling themselves veterinary surgeons, are guilty of the 
gratuitous and unwarrantable assumption of a title and pro- 
fession to which they have no just or lawful claim.
