ticed with a veterinary surgeon before entering college. I think, 
he will hud that this is the case—as in my own—with nearly all 
those who now graduate. 
In conclusion, I would refer your readers to his letter, the 
cause of it, and this answer, and ask who has done the “ slurring,” 
or where the term “ maliciousness ” is applicable. 
I am sorry to trouble you with so long a communication, but 
am obliged to do so, in justice to myself, my friends, and the 
members of the profession who have graduated in this country, 
for I consider, as others do, he has, through me, aimed an insult 
at all American graduates of veterinary surgery.

VETERINARIAN WANTED. 
Minneapolis, Minn., April 16, 1884. 
Dear Sir. —Do you know of any young man, a graduate of 
your college, who would like to come to this city and take charge 
of about five hundred head of horses, and devote part of his 
time to working up an outside practice ? It strikes me that this 
would be a good opening for a young man just starting out. 
A good man could command all the outside business he could 
attend to. Yours, truly, 
M. Elder, 
Box 371, Minneapolis.
