informed profession, d'he terse little sentence referred to occu¬ 
pied a prominent position upon the stationery employed, even 
to the envelopes used for transmittino; the monthly issues to its 
subscribers, where it eng'ag'ed the eye up in the northwest cor¬ 
ner. Some six months ag'o we observed that a broad line of 
ink from a truthful pen had been drawn throug'h the familiar 
sentence on the envelope in which our copy was received, and 
since that date each one has received the same treatment. We 
thoug'ht that possibly the publishers had erased the harmless 
little emblem from our particular packag’c out of deference to 
our feelings, but upon examining the wrappers of other sub¬ 
scribers we found that it had been as ruthlessly dealt with. 
W e congratulate the publishers upon this candid acknowledg¬ 
ment, and trust that the effort, though requiring courage, will 
bring its own reward. 
We have received from Secretary William Henry Kelly, 
of the New York State Board of Veterinary Medical Examin¬ 
ers, a copy of a bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Wray, read 
twice, and referred to the Committee on Public Health, the pro¬ 
visions of which are intended to exempt graduates from three- 
year colleges receiving their degrees before July i, 1898, from 
examination by the Board. 
Yhe receipt of a sample copy of the Review is an invita¬ 
tion to subscribe. Join the great body of veterinarians who 
will read and contribute to the literary value of the Twenty- 
second Volume (which begins with the April number), and you 
will wonder how you ever succeeded without it. It is the ex¬ 
perience of hundreds, as we are informed through rnany letters. 
Subscribers will please bear in mind that the next volume 
(^XH) begins with the April issue, when most subscriptions 
3 .re to be renewed. You cannot afford to allow your Review 
to cease its visits.
