why, if he is so much superior to this quack, does he want pro¬ 
tection \ 
It has been my good fortune to have several such quacks for 
my personal friends, and I do not know if I would not wish that 
we had more of their kind amongst us. 
I believe too much is thought of in the word regular. In¬ 
stead of depending on legislation, let us confine ourselves to the 
legitimate practice of our profession, let us avoid jockeyism, 
horse dealings, etc., let us remember that all the various duties 
of the veterinarian are duties of trust in every sense of the 
word, let us be honest and true in the performance of the same, 
let us avoid petty jealousies and treat each other in the most pro¬ 
fessional and brotherly manner possible, and then we can be sure 
that we will want no legislative protection ; we can be certain 
that the public itself will protect and soon recognize us as worthy 
members of a profession second to none.
