NEW YORK STATE VETERINARY MEDICAL 
SOCIETY. 
The New York State Veterinary Society occupies in various 
ways a unique place in the veterinary profession of America. 
The Empire State contains far more regularly qualified 
veterinarians than any other in the Union, and the State society 
is the visible and legal representative of this great body of prac¬ 
titioners. 
The association nominates two candidates for each vacancy 
on the veterinary examining board, one of whom is appointed 
to the place, so that the members present at the meeting when 
nominations are made virtually fix the character of the license 
examinations by the character of the candidates nominated.
