IPRESSIONS OF AN AMERICAN VETERINARIAN IN A TRIP TO 
EUROPE. 
\liior American Veterinary Review : 
Dear Sir. —Many of my fellow practitioners seem anxious to 
arn through me the impression the English veterinarians have of 
leir American brothers, as gathered by me during my recent 
sit there, and all the more so because I was returning to my 
itive land after many years’ absence in the role of an American 
iterinarian. It may be that they think I am like the average 
>reigner, who, on returning to his native heather, thinks there is 
^tiling like “ my own, my native land,” and that they wish to 
:st my zeal in that respect. But let this be as it may, I perhaps 
m give a true reflection of the opinions expressed of us during 
y visit there. I need hardly say that to those gentlemen of 
te veterinary profession whom I had the pleasure of meeting both 
i England and France, I introduced myself as an American vet- 
•inarian, and as such was received with open arms, and by many 
ith that heartiness that made me feel doubly at home, and par- 
cularly by one whom we all hold in high esteem, Dr. George 
leming; a man whose very grasp of the hand gives you assur- 
lce of welcome and makes you feel that he speaks the sentiments 
: a large heart, when he informs you that “ I am always glad to 
;e our friends from across the Atlantic,” and too was I received 
ith the same kindness on my visit to the Pasteur Institute while 
i Paris, by Dr. Grancher and others.
