CORRESPONDENCE. 
with a view of uniting the profession. But it is only within the 
last two years that the desired result was reached, and only then 
by admitting those holding the Highland and. Agricultural 
Society's certificates almost on their own terms. Thus, it will be 
seen, it took over thirty years to accomplish what could have been 
done in far shorter time had a more liberal policy been followed 
by the members of that body. 
Great and good works no doubt advance slowly, but it is bet¬

productive of some good results, than to make no progress at all. 
If the profession cannot advance one foot, be satisfied with one 
inch; and just as sure as effects follow causes, as the sparks fly 
upwards, and bodies fall to the ground, will their efforts be re¬ 
warded, and result in the desired progress of the veterinary 
profession. 
Respectfully yours, 
J. C. McKenzie.

Editor of the Review : 
In the November issue of the Review, I made the statement

your columns I beg to right an unintentional wrong, which oc¬ 
curred in spite of my endeavors to verify all statements made. 
Dr. Stein has my apology for the error. 
Very respectfully, 
A. A. Holcombe.
