costs the Canadian government is repaid a • hundred times over by the very fact of 
foreign buyers being certain that we have no disease, and this fact must show the 
English Government the absurdity of subjecting our healthy stock to quarantine at 
their ports, and I have no doubt but that detention will soon be removed as it should 
- be. 
Gentlemen, I will not detain you by going into the details of the sanitary measures 
necessary in event of these diseases being introduced—but will simply 'indicate it by 
two words, which signify a very great deal in any country so unfortunate as to require 
it, '''‘Stamping Out.” Prevent while we can so easily and avoid the necessity for the 
destroying process. 
In conclusion gentlemen I would suggest to this association, that you should 
approach the government and point out the necessity for preventative measures being 
adopted, and urge upon them the importance of recognizing this profession, and 
ceasing to appoint uneducated men to positions of responsibility, while you have young 
men educated in science, both able and willing to fill the positions. Let our motto ever 
continue to be “ Vis Unita Portion ” and instead of our noble science, for what science 
next to human medicine can be more noble than that whose object is the relief of 
suffering in those poor dumb animals, which God has given to us to care for, being 
looked upon as scarcely respectable, we must and will stand side by side with all the 
•other liberal professions, and I certainly do think that if we can bring about the 
objects of this paper we will do much to deserve the lasting thanks of this great 
people.
