as to the paternity of the different paragraphs and sentences, nor 
exactly as to where I should find them in my library on my re¬

I have now to acknowledge the honor Mr. Yonkerman has 
done me in making a most faithful transcript from Yol. I. of my 
“ Veterinary Sanitary Science and Police” of those portions 
which go to make up his “member of society”; though in that

of the work, if anyone is desirous of ascertaining how exactly 
they are copied, viz. : pp. 1, 19, 21, 23-24, 193-195, 297, 
299-303. 
There is only one oversight which the writer may be-charged 
with in compiling his article : lie has omitted to give the title of 
the work which he has so usefully consulted. That omission, I 
hope, this allusion to it may repair. 
Yours truly, George Fleming.

I would like te ask what the profession wants of protection. 
Is it to protect a few men who have attended this or that insti¬ 
tution, that teaches veterinary medicine, grants diplomas to men 
who pass an examination, etc. ? 
They want to be protected by legislation, so that Mr. Jones, 
who has not attended such an institution, cannot practice. 
It seems to me the best way for the so-called Regulars to pro¬ 
tect themselves is to show by their ability and skill that they
