EDITORIAL 
taken place in the personnel of the veterinarian has had much to 
do in rehabilitating the profession in the eyes of the public. Lut 
the work is not finished. To maintain our progress much has yet 
to be done, and it remains in the hands of the veterinarians of to-day 
to push upward and onward their heretofore ignored and depie- 
ciated profession. Petty jealousies and personal motives must not 
be allowed to overcome the great work at hand. All must work 
unitedly with their shoulders to the wheel. 
Veterinarians of America, veterinarians of to-day, look back 
at what your profession was twenty years ago, then look at what 
it is now. Do not rest on this improved condition, grand as it is, 
but push forward with all your energy and make your noble 
art equal if not superior, to what it is in Europe. 
CORRESPONDENCE. 
Our correspondents’ list was so overloaded in our last 
issue that the publication of important letters had to be post¬ 
poned to this number. Among them, is one from Dr. L. Mc¬ 
Lean, which we would have been pleased to print last month, had 
it reached us sooner than it did. 
A letter from Dr. Miller reports a peculiar case ; the speci¬ 
men accompanying it has been placed in the museum of the 
American Veterinary College. 
We also publish a letter from a veterinarian in the army. 
The subject of army Veterinary Surgeons is one which we will 
take up in subsequent numbers of the Review. The position 
of our colleagues in the army ought to be looked after, no matter 
how few of them there may be. 
The answer to a student will appear in our next number. 
ARMY VETERINARIANS. 
We begin to-day the publication of official documents relating 
to the rank and pay of Veterinary Surgeons in the armies of 
Europe. The new Royal Warrant of the Army Veterinary De¬ 
partment in England is printed in this number of the Review, and 
will be followed by similar ones from France, Germany and Italy.
