American Veterinary Review, 
UV ^ v DECEMBER, 1892 . 
EDITORIAL. 
To Our Subscribers. And not alone to our subscribers, 
t to our American brethren in general, we feel in duty 
und to address this notice. With three numbers more the 
teenth volume of the Review will be completed. With a 
:rospect of sixteen years of regularity and punctuality in 
monthly appearance, with a testimony of its interest and 
ue, as manifested by numerous letters of approval in our 
ids, with a large amount of what, without boasting, we 
y claim to have been good work, or how could it have 
vived so long? With all this, the question is importune- 
iressing itself upon us, and must also be referred to the 
tnbers of the profession at large, “ Is it worth while to 
in the seventeenth volume, or is not this a good point at 
ch to stop ?” * 
Established under the patronage of the United States 
erinary Medical Association, the Review has labored 
i in behalf of the profession, of the schools, of the socie- 
of the individual practitioner, and has been always ready 
ever ambitious to raise high the flag of our profession, 
to sound the bugle to the good tune of “ Excelsior.” It 
thus fought the fight of progress and advancement, 
hout reference to considerations of selfish interest or rea- 
ble prospect of financial success, and yet, after so many 
I s laborious effort, and it may also be said of successful 
•useful existence, the questions we are propounding must 
nswered and answered at once.
