The title of one of the oldest veterinary schools of the conn- 
try, enjoying as it does a national reputation (the American Vet¬ 
erinary College), has often been thus stolen and misappropriated, 
the last case of this kind being brought to our notice by the fol¬ 
lowing business card, which was forwarded to us by a Minnesota 
practitioner : 
Graduate of the American Veterinary College N. T. City. 
THE FAMOUS 
VETERINARY 
SURGEON AND PRACTIONER * 
Among the Equine Aristocrats of the Northwest, 
DR. HIRAM A. KENNEDY 
Is without a doubt the most Popular and Scientific Vetinarj’ * 
Physician and Surgeon now on on * record. His success in the 
parctice* of Medicine among the Domestic Animals excells* 
all Practitioners we ever saw. It affords us much pleasure to 
recommend the Doctor to all who desire his services.

Wc can suggest but one mode of correcting this evil. Let 
every practitioner who becomes acquainted with facts of this 
kind address to us a letter of inquiry as to the true graduation of 
the claimant, and if it is proved that the claim is a false one, let 
the culprit be made to feel the weight of the laws designed for 
the punishment of guilt. That a non-graduate should work and 
earn his living in a professional manner, may perhaps be toler¬ 
ated, but that an imposter, covered with the lion’s skin and at 
the same time showing his ears, should be permitted to impose 
on the public, and at once disgrace a noble profession and dis¬ 
credit a reputable institution, is something that no honest man 
* Credit is due some graduate for the orthography in this card. We are not
