had returned to the hall—the mischief was done legally, and 
it should be at once undone. If the members responsible for 
this great wrong to the veterinary profession of America can¬ 
not see that they have blundered, and will not recall their 
action, then the rank and file of the profession should at once

that every school is represented in the list; that none are 
slighted. It is wrong, all wrong; and should be undone, 
before incalculable injury is inflicted on the whole body of 
young men now preparing to enter an honorable and noble 
profession. 
To Our Subscribers.— In the July number of the 
Review we alluded to the difficulties this periodical had 
experienced in having passed through the hands of a firm

would be forced and an answer received that would be decis¬ 
ive and immediate. The result has been obtained. The pro¬ 
fession has spoken most emphatically, and in no uncertain 
tones. The large subscription list which we received from the 
defunct publishing house—the list was all we got, not a cent 
in money—was thus appealed to, and it has responded by 
sending in more bona fide subscriptions than we had expected 
in our most hopeful mood. With the actual subscriptions we 
have received many personal letters asking that the Review, 
ever the true organ of the American veterinary profession, be 
by all means continued as in the past, and many pledging it 
their hearty co-operation. It is pardonable, then, in us, if we-
