12. PRIVATE PRACTICE. 
Through a section of the Russian statutes, Russians and for¬ 
eigners who have no diplomas, certificates or degrees of veter¬ 
inarian have no right to practice, yet there is no part of the globe 
where empiricism is so extended. Gelders and many others* in¬ 
jure horses and cattle and are free agents for propagation of 
anthrax and other epizootics. Judges and courts of law are 
very lenient toward empirics. 
In large cities, veterinarians may obtain good practice and 
earn from 6000 to 30,000 francs a year ($1000 to $6000). 
In other towns, veterinarians earn little and could not live 
without fixed governmental salary ; these benefits vary between 
1000 and 4000 francs ($200 to $800). 
Russia is yet a “ terra nuova,” where veterinary medicine 
needs all the efforts of veterinarians to raise it to a respectable, 
material, but far from comfortable, position.— {Presse Vker-
