VETERINARY SURGEON WANTED. 
Messrs. Stearns & Smith, of Monroe, Wis., have applied to 
us for a qualified veterinarian. In their letter of inquiry they 
state that they are in a town of 4,000 inhabitants, in the center 
of a large stock-raising country, and that a good opportunity is 
thus afforded to a good and competent young man. 
ASSISTANT WANTEu.

Co., Ill., makes a very good offer for an assistant. A student 
who would graduate ir. 1883 or 1884, can find with him a good 
opportunity to see practice, to continue his studies, and to enter 
into a partnership which will ultimately give him the entire prac¬ 
tice, Mr. Smith being advanced in years and desirous to retire 
from labor. Applications to him will receive attention at once.
