A CIRCULAR.

aid us. Let each of you give the moderate sum of a franc only, 
and we shall thus obtain an amount sufficient for the families of 
our learned colleagues, and, aided by the kind and prompt assistance 
of the National Academy of Medicine, the Veterinary Schools of 
France, and our Society, they will then have obtained a position 
which will guarantee them an existence. 
In limiting the donation to the amount of a franc only, and which 
it solicits from each member of the veterinary profession, the 
Society proposes it with the view that all be permitted to take a 
part in this good work, whatever may be the means each may 
have at his disposal. 
It, however, does not limit any one from presenting as much 
more as he may feel disposed to do. 
The members of the National and Central Society of Veterinary 
Medicine have subscribed the sum of 360 francs (about £15). 
The Society reserves to itself the mode of disposing of the 
gathered sums, according to the respective wants of the different 
families for whom it has made this appeal to your brotherly assist- 
ance. 
Receive the assurance of our affectionate and devoted senti- 
ments.
