the veterinary profession in this Province, and that it is the unani¬ 
mous opinion of this Association that such a bill is much needed, 
and will be the means not only of raising the status of the profes¬ 
sion, but will prevent much suffering and injury to animals from 
the ignorant and cruel practices of quackery. 
Resolved , That this Association recognises the necessity for 
some steps being taken to form a Dominion Association, so that 
as a united body, yearly or half-yearly meetings could be held, at 
which questions relating to the general interests of the Profession 
could be discussed, and further, that in the opinion of this Asso¬ 
ciation the present disunited condition of the Profession, and the 
want of a Dominion Association is injurious to it, and not only 
lessens its influence, but retards its progress. 
Resolved , That circulars be issued by this Association to 
members of the Profession in the several Provinces, asking them 
to co-operate in the formation of such an Association, and a meet¬ 
ing be called at the city of Ottawa at as early a date as will suit 
the convenience of the majority. 
After votes of thanks being passed to the essayists, the meet¬ 
ing adjourned. 
At next meeting Mr. Brown and Mr. Baker will read papers.
