UNITED STATES VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
The members of the United States Veterinary Medical Association andthe pro¬ 
fession in general are given notice that the Trunk Line Association and Southern 
Passenger Association have agreed to concede to all members attending the conven¬ 
tion at Washington, Sept. 15th to 17tli, 1891, the 1^- rates of fare from all points 
in their districts. 
This meeting will afford interest of a rich character to every mem¬ 
ber of the profession. The subject of Food Inspection and Animal Diseases, 
with special reference to their importance to man, will receive at this meeting the 
most thorough consideration ever given by our Association. The present era in 
sanitary science and laws throughout the civilized world give additional interest 
to these subjects at this time. 
Dr. C. C. Lyford of Minnesota will read a paper on “ Barren Mares.” This sub¬ 
ject, of so much interest to those members residing in breedidg distrists, will be 
an additional incentive. Other papers have been promised the committee of ar¬ 
rangements and will be announced at a later date. 
The eastern and central members of the Association are most earnestly reques¬ 
ted to be in attendance at this meeting to greet the large delegation of Western 
members and to complete more fully the thorough amalgamation of the entire 
profession. The memories of the grand meeting in Chicago should be revieved 
at Washington, and a hearty welcome should be extended to those who did so 
much to make our trip to the West so profitable and pleasant.
