VETERINARY COLLEGES.

while our food supply continues to be so largely constituted of 
animal flesh, there exists the utmost necessity for the proper 
inspection of all such meats as may be offered for sale. 
It is a notorious fact that where deficient inspection exists, the 
avarice of unprincipled dealers imposes upon the unsuspecting 
public, meats unfit for human food, and it was to arrest this 
insidious source of disease that European governments have 
established in their abbatoirs, slaughter-houses and meat-markets, 
inspectors who should at once prevent the slaughtering of un¬ 
healthy animals and the sale of diseased or spoiled meats. 
To fully protect our people from the pernicious influences 
entailed by the consumption of flesh affected with acute inflam¬ 
matory processes, infectious disease, or parasitic conditions, 
necessitates the employment of inspectors who possess greater 
qualifications than are found in the common police officers usually 
detailed for such duties; and, following in the footsteps of other 
countries, our government must eventually recognize the fact that 
the entire education of the veterinarian fits him to most fully 
compass this desirable immunity from surrounding danger, and 
his appointment to these official positions will be an appreciative 
acknowledgment by her of his unequalled importance.
