embrace a veterinary branch which is still new in this country,

understanding that something definite may be accomplished. 
The Published Proceedings of the Sixteenth Annual 
Meeting of the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association, re¬

those whose duty it has been to edit and publish it. It makes a 
valuable little booklet that every member of the association 
should be proud to possess and preserve.
