by every honest practitioner, be he regular graduate or self-made. 
To obtain this and with hope that their action would be sanc¬

organization, drew an act for the regulation of the practice of 
veterinary medicine throughout the State. A copy of this was sent

blank if unfavorable to it. A few days later a meeting of all 
graduates in the cities of Brooklyn and New York was called, 
and after considerable discussion, modification, and loss of time, 
an amended act was voted upon, section by section, and adopted 
for presentation to the Legislature. 
We present the bill to-day to our readers, and hope that those 
who favor it will give it their assistance, and that those who 
may object to it will take advantage in the pages of the Review 
to make their objections known. 
It will no doubt require all the energy and influence of the 
true friends of the profession to make it a law, if we are to 
judge by the threat which one of the graduates present at the 
last meeting was not ashamed to make after the whole act had 
been accepted.

give to the question of the injuriousness of flesh and milk 
from animals complicated by this disease, and to the very inter¬ 
esting experiments made by the late Director General upon the
