VETERINARY REGISTRATION IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
Dr. W. Horace Hoskins , Chair mail Leg. Com., S. V. M. S.of Pa. 
My Dear Sir. —After an extended conversation with Col. 
Wm. B. Mann, Prothonotary of our Court of Common Pleas, 
in relation to the act of April nth, 1889, entitled “ An Act to 
Regulate the Practice of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery 
in Pennsylvania,” he has instructed his clerks to observe the 
following rules in relation to the registration of Veterinary 
Surgeons : 1st, In all cases where a person presents himself 
for regisration as a graduate (under Section 1) he shall pro¬ 
duce his diploma, and if it is in regular form and apparent¬ 
ly genuine lie shall be entitled to register as a graduate, but 
not otherwise. 2nd.—In all cases where a person presents 
himself for registration as an “ existing practitioner ’’ (under 
Section 2) he shall make affidavit to a detailed statement of 
the facts showing his right to such registration, i. e.: When 
he first assumed the title, how long he has been in active prac¬ 
tice, where he has lived during that time, and where he has 
practiced, that he has been in practice for the five years pre¬ 
ceding the passage of the act, if he has pursued a regular 
course of study, then when and where he studied, and who 
was his preceptor, and where his preceptor can now be found ; 
and all other facts going to show his right to registration under 
the provisions of the act. Thus you will see that by a strict 
compliance with these rules your society will be able to trace 
each man’s antecedents, and ascertain whether or not his 
statement is true, and, if not true, to prosecute and enforce 
the penalty prescribed by the act, 
Very truly yours, 
Edw. W. Magill.
