There can be but one way to remedy such an evil, and it 
can be, if not entirely, at least to a very great extent coun¬ 
teracted. This is to have but one title and a single responsi¬ 
ble and recognized body to grant it. The M.R.C.V.S.E. and 
M.R.C.V.S.L., are done with in England; let the V.S., the 
D.V.S. and the D.V.M. be done with in the United States. 
Let us have no more graduates from the East or from the 
West, but give us instead, a body of American veterina¬ 
rians, all of whom shall be members of the Veterin¬ 
ary College of America —M.V. C. A.—a title worthy 
of the profession of this great country, and of which 
we know its holders will be justly proud, with a pride which 
will stimulate them to bear high and firmly and advance 
nobly the standard of American veterinary science.

by dogs or cats, came to be treated. These patients may be 
divided into two categories.

had their wounds attended, during the proper length of time, 
when it was necessary. Four hundred patients of this series 
were consulted or treated gratis. 
2 d. In one hundred and thirty cases the anti-hydrophobic 
treatment was applied, hydrophobia having been demon¬ 
strated by veterinary examination of the animals which in¬ 
flicted bites or by the inoculation in the laboratory, and in 
many cases by the death of some other persons or animals 
bitten by the same dogs. All these persons are, to-day , enjoy¬ 
ing good health. In eighty cases the patients received the 
treatment free of charge. 
The one hundred and thirty persons treated were from the 
following States:
