Practising Without a Diploma.
TO THE EDITOB. Sib — As your useful paper circulates in this district largely, will you kindly find room for the following : When any adventurer with an "oily" tongue and with' a fair - kit of veterinary instruments plants himself ' in a district in South Canterbury I "rush 1 " him in case of illness- among th«ir . animals. Should the animal or animals live it is due to bis cleverness, and if death be the result — "the devil was in it." Now, we have several in practice here who have no diploma at all, and they seem to thrive on "credulity." Who wants educating? I may inform any one imposed on that he can have the name of any practitioner who is registered, as I have a copy of the register, published by act of British Parliament. That your farmers in Otago will be troubled in the same way may be expected, but should thej£ be, let them ask for his credentials, ana let hint furnish a sensible reply as to causa and effect. — I am, etc, tf. Maro,uis, M.R.C.V.S.
