Dr. Ed. Sayre, professor of dental surgery at the Chicago 
Veterinary College, has received a very flattering offer from the 
Toronto Veterinary College to come to that school in the same 
capacity, as the veterinary dental school there has been making 
inroads into the ranks of the students. This is a new kind of

to acknowledge as one of her graduates R. D. Eaton, M. D. C., 
who has a flaming advertisement in the Northwestern Horse¬ 
man and Sportsman , of May 15, in which he claims for his 
“ Removine ” electric power over all manner of equine ills, and 
goes into an idiotic and fraudulent explanation of its manner of
