AZOTURIA IN THE DOG. 
199 
Gentlemen, I sincerely hope that this paper will be inter¬ 
preted by the profession in the spirit in which I have written it. 
In it I reprimand Dr. Vincent, not because of any personal 
grudge or dislike, but for the good of the profession. I am con¬ 
vinced that Dr. Vincent’s conduct was due to ignorance rather 
than to a desire to injure anyone; neither do I believe he 
wished to deceive us when he stated that he had removed the 
testicle. But in reprimanding him we warn those who may 
through malice or otherwise take an opportunity thus offered to 
belittle their colleagues, thus injuring the meetings, from the fact 
that many of those well informed lack courage and fluency of 
speech, and if by some individual possessed with the gift of gab 
he be handicapped, the profession is robbed in this way of valu¬ 
able ideas and possibly of a desirable member. If he be allowed 
to go on in this way at our association meetings, what will he 
do in active practice ? How is he likely to talk to his 
clients, and what will his conduct be toward his competitors ? I 
beg pardon of Dr. Vincent that it was his misfortune to be made 
an example of, and I assure him that I feel as friendly towards 
him to-day as I do to any member of the profession. I have not 
chosen this paper, but, as I have said before, it was assigned to 
me for the reason that I was responsible for the subject operated 
upon. I naturally became more interested than others and our 
officers were justified in assigning me this paper. 
AZOTURIA IN THE DOG. 
By Robert Dickson, D. V. S., New York City. 
Read before the May meeting of the Veterinary Medical Association of New York 
County. 
The following two cases which came to me for treatment 
during the past few months being both new and novel to me, I 
thought it might be interesting to the members of the society 
to hear the symptoms shown, treatment prescribed, and the ter¬ 
mination of each, as I have never heard or read of any case in 
canine practice displaying the symptoms shown in these cases.
