Notice to the Veterinarians of the State of New York. 
The New York State Veterinary Medical Society will hold its fourth an¬

a.m. Januaiy 9th. 
This meeting will be the last one to be held in the month of January, as ac¬ 
cording to the revised by-laws adopted by the Society at the last meeting, held 
in Buffalo, October llth-12th, 1893, the Society will hereafter hold its meet¬ 
ings during the month of September of each year, the place of holding said meet¬ 
ing to be decided by a vote of a majority of the members present at the close of 
the annual meeting. 
The January meeting will be an interesting ose to all veterinarians. There 
will be several papers read and discussed, and the business portion of the meet¬ 
ing, consisting of the election of officers, reports of secretaries, treasurer and 
committees, and auditing of accounts will be made as short as possible, for the 
purpose of giving more time to the reading and discussing of the papers. The 
names of the authors of the papers with their subjects will be announced in the 
December number of the Review. Veterinarians desiring to apply for member¬ 
ship should address the secretary at once. Printed notices will be mailed to all 
veterinarians. Respectfully, 
N. P. Hinkley, D.V.S , Secretary.
