PRESIDENT RAYNER’s ADDRESS.

The Walker-Gorclon Laboratories are supplying large num¬ 
bers of infants and children in all of our large cities with milk 
that has been Pasteurized. Although they furnish milk com¬ 
paratively free from germs, it is deemed best as a matter of pre¬ 
caution to subject it to this process. Physicians are getting re¬ 
sults by means of this scientific feeding rendered possible by 
these milk laboratories that they have never attained before. 
We believe that the Pasteurizing kettle will become a rival of 
the tea kettle when its virtues are more widely known. Science 
has given us a clear light upon this subject. Let us not go 
back to the darkness of the past. 
PRESIDENT RAYNER’S ADDRESS, 
DELIVERED BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING OP THE PENNSYL¬ 
VANIA STATE veterinary MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, 
AT PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 8, 1898. 
Fellozv-Mevibers and Colleagues : 
The assembling to-day of our association in annual conven¬ 
tion is an occasion worthy of more than passing notice. It 
marks another period of our history and it is well for us to look 
back and note how well the year’s work has been done. I am 
proud to say that I have had the earnest support of my fellow 
officers, and that much work has been done looking to the wel¬ 
fare of our calling. Our semi-annual meeting af Franklin was 
perhaps the most successful we have held during the past ten 
years, in attendance, in scope of work, in pleasure, in in¬ 
creased membership, and everything that adds to our progress. 
When I recall the early history of the profession in Pennsyl¬ 
vania, at a time when many of you were not born, and that the 
Philadelphia Veterinary College was the first lawfully chartered 
veterinary college in America, and note the same intense interest 
in professional advancement, I am more than proud of our 
record in the profession. 
While the college remained but a few years in active teach¬ 
ing, still its influence was good, it led to the first movement to 
establish a veterinary chair in the University of Pennsylvania,
