THE VETERINARIAN, APRIL 1, 1855. 
Ne quid falsi dicere audeat, ne quid veri non audeat. — Cicero. 
We cannot allow the appended proposition of Mr. Warne 
Raddall to pass without a word or two of comment and com- 
mendation. Firstly, we give to it our hearty approval, and 
secondly, state that, if in any way we can become instru- 
mental in helping him to carry it out we shall only be too 
happy. 
Those will be halcyon days, indeed, for the profession, 
when its members are thus found cordially co-operating to 
bring about its advancement. Then will they be able to 
present such a phalanx that all the efforts of their enemies 
will prove futile. They will have become strong by union, 
and thus realize their common motto, “ Vis unita fortior.” 
Nor do we see anything that is insurmountable in the 
proposition. A determination to act is all that is requisite. 
Our mind’s eye glancing over localities with which we are 
acquainted, can readily conceive how many members of the 
profession may be congregated together in a place previously 
fixed upon, all actuated by one motive, and that among the 
best by which they can be influenced. For a time, at least, 
— would it were for ever — u b} T gones ” would be “ bygones,” 
and meeting together in the country town, or some other town 
of note ; and perhaps, by the invitation of some expe- 
rienced and respected member of the profession (for who 
would not feel proud to bring about such a union under his 
own roof?) : one member brings with him a morbid speci- 
men possessing more than ordinary interest; another, the 
history of a case that has occurred in his practice ; and a 
third, some invention or discovery which he has made con- 
nected with Veterinary Science; and thus subject-matter, 
more than enough, would be furnished. A free discussion 
following — subject, of course, to those rules which exist
