tion of the ridiculous practice of veterinary surgeons conduct¬ 
ing “Veterinary Departments” in agricultural and sporting 
periodicals, and the absolute worthlessness of their opinions, 
based on the owner’s diagnosis, we print the following query, 
clipped from one of these publications : “ Mare six years old, 
got lame a year ago last April while scraping dirt. She had 
to climb a high bank which was very stony ; was lame about 
two weeks, but did not get entirely well. Then in October 
she ran away and ran through a creek, and she has been lame 
ever since. She cannot travel on rough roads. If she steps 
on a stone she flinches as if her foot were sore.” To which 
the editor of the department, a veterinarian, replies: “ Apply 
equal parts extract of witch-hazel and alcohol to shoulders 
twice a day. Be sure your collar fits her shoulder properly.” 
And we can supplement this answer by saying: “If this 
guess isn’t right, we will try again.”
