THE CHICAGO VETERINARY SOCIETY 
held a banquet at the Sherman House, Chicago, on Thursday 
evening, January 14, 1897. Thirty-two veterinarians of Chicago 
responded to the invitation, and the meeting proved a success in 
every sense of the word. Dr. E. A. Merileat read the second 
part of his paper on “ Veterinary Dentistry,” which was followed 
by a lively and highly interesting discussion. There is a spirit 
of amiability and mutual respect noticeable in this young society 
which is very pleasing, and which must by necessity stimulate 
a higher conception of professional ethics in the rising genera¬ 
tion of Chicago’s veterinarians.
