its Practice.

GENTLEMEN The few remarks that W.
delivered before this Society, one year ago
upon the Resolutions we then offered regard
ing Veterinary Medicine, although very brief
" and very imperfcctly reported, ncverthe
less attracted unexpected attention from par
ties specially interested in the various domes
tic animals, from students, or young men con
tcmpating the study of the diseases OF
the inferior animals, and from the Dean Of
a leading Veterinary College, the Columbia
COLLEGE, of New York. We received several
letters on the subject from different sections
of the country, chiefly letters Of inquiry as tC
studentship, and as TO the best institutions
for obtaining a Veterinary education. This
interest excited by so few remarks, shows
that the subject is one that the public is now
beginning to regard with sentiments ofserous
consideration. The time has past when the
obloquy and ridiculc brought upon the title OF
"Ilorsc Doctor" by Ignorant pretendcrs, can
continue to keep aloof the intelligent seekers
after truth from the wide and uncXplored
domain of Veterinary Medicine. The whole
subject has hitherto been brought into disre-
pute by the gross and criminal ignorance OF
those who professed its practice, and who have
inflicted incalculable suffering and injury upon
the helpless dumb brutes that they pretended
to relieve

wrapped in gloom the diseases of the lower
animals, must be dispellcd, and those diseases
be brought within the light of day. The
monied interest that men now hold in animals
throughout the world, is almost beyond COM
putaton and money, the great handspring
