THE MEDAL TO MR. H. BOULEY. 
The veterinary profession of America was made acquainted, 
through the pages of the Review, with the mode adopted by vet¬ 
erinarians in France to commemorate the event of the election of 
Mr. H. JBonley to the presidency of the highest scientific body in 
the wrnrld, the Academie des Sciences, of Paris. 
It was proposed to have a large medal made and presented to 
the newly elected president as a token of friendship, of high es¬ 
teem and great admiration, from his friends and colleagues and 
students. A call was made to veterinarians all over the world, 
through the veterinary journals, which received a ready response. 
The committee having obtained the necessary funds, succeeded 
easily in their undertaking, and copies of the medal, of a smaller 
size, have been sent to those who desired to receive it. 
We are pleased to be able to present our readers with a draw¬ 
ing of it. On one side the iikeness of the president, with his 
name around it, on the other an allegory representing the pro¬ 
cess of vaccination, of which he has been so able an advocate, 
with a Latin motto : arte nova pastor pecorum contagia vincit, 
gratum opus agricolis, and below the titles connecting him with 
the veterinary schools, the Legion d’Honneur and the Institute. 
If one bears in mind that all these honors have been conferred
