SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE ARMY FUND-OBITUARY. 
opinion of many, has the better chance of passing both houses, 
and moreover has the sanction and support of prominent 
army people. I would suggest that the present fund be given 
to the support of the bill—(I authorize my subscription to be 
used for this purpose,) and I know the Review will not re¬ 
fuse its valuable assistance. I thank the Review for its com¬ 
mendation of my feeble efforts in behalf of the army service, 
and though I now work as a private in the cause, still I will 
continue to do that work with as much enthusiasm as if I was 
at the head of the movement. By placing the agitation in 
the hands of Dr. Huidekoper, whose name is familiar to 
every veterinarian in the United States, and who is ably sec¬ 
onded by Dr. Lemay of the Seventh Cavalry, and Curtice of 
Washington, I have no doubt that it has fallen into the best 
hands in the country. I request all my friends in the pro¬ 
fession who have promised me their support to transfer said 
support to this bill of the United States Veterinary Medical 
Association. By elevating the standard of the profession in 
the army we elevate it all over the country, and it will be a 
means indirectly of securing the passage of State laws for our 
profession.
