compailied by a certain indispensable amount of knowledge of 
yonr profession, some more, some less. If yon preserve yonr 
health, and I hope yon will, keep yourself free from bad habits 
and observe the other things I have mentioned, yon will suc¬

I express the sentiment of the entire faculty, whom I to some 
extent represent, in commending yon to the kindness and moral 
support of yonr fellow practitioners, while yon attend diligently 
to the duties of yonr vocation. 
THE PROCESSION OF MODERN VETERINARIANS. 
Hillsboro, O., May 4, 1897. 
Editors American Veterinary Review: 
“ An American is the leading veterinary dentist in Australia—Dr. Hoagland. He 
was recently called a distance of several hundred miles to attend to the tefeth of one of the 
great Antipodean stallions .”—The Horseman. 
The veterinary profession is now the only one not crowded. 
Neither is it affected by quackery nor contraction of the cur¬ 
rency. We have a regiflar sausage. We come—we come! 
The snorting of onr horses can be heard in Dan. “We are the 
people,” shall be onr slogan. 
With yonr permission I will take the pleasure to announce 
to the veterinary world through yonr magazine that there will 
be a great demonstration of the authorities of the veterinary pro¬ 
fession at an early date in Carson City, Nevada.
