And now, Mr. Editor, this talk about the Association provid¬ 
ing no protection to the profession is idle, inasmuch as protection 
must come from State legislation, and the veterinary societies can 
only see that the law is enforced; until they have such law they 
are powerless. 
In conclusion I wish to say that to accuse a Board of Exami¬ 
ners composed of such men as Dr. J. F. Klench, graduate of Al- 
fort, Dr. Thos. Bowhill, M.R.C.V.S., and Dr. Thos. Maclay, M. 
R.C.Y.S., of admitting “ all kinds of non-professionals ” to com¬ 
parative equality with themselves, is an insult alike to their intel¬ 
ligence, manhood and to their alma 7nater. 
Yours truly, 
H. A. Spencer.
