360 ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
then related an anecdote, to show the character and abilities 
of some of the early veterinary surgeons. A horse had been 
observed from day to day to be suffering great pain in the 
foot, arising from a prick, and apparently nothing had been 
done to relieve it; yet the animal had been seen daily by the 
veterinary surgeon. He was accordingly sent for by the 
superior officer, and asked why he had done nothing to the 
wound in the foot. “ I dress it every day, sir,” was the reply. 
“ Dress what?” “Why, sir, the nail; I have it in my 
room.” (Laughter.) The Chairman concluded by urging the 
members present to study to maintain the dignity of their 
profession, and, above all things, to have nothing to do with 
horse-dealing. 
The proceedings then terminated.
