THE VETERINARIAN
Nothing can take his place- no layman or lawmaker- no clinic or council
For he who can, with gentle hands and soothing words, calm the fears of a stricken animal has a gift reserved for few.
He who can diagnose the sickness of a creature that cannot speak-- one that cannot by neither sign nor gesture, give any indication of the seat of fatal sickness--is one endowed with knowledge, sympathy and understanding far beyond that reached by ordinary men.
He who can, with the aid of medical science, brighten the eyes, stay the fever, energize the pulse, build resistance against disease in animal, has reached the goal only a few favored few attain.
And what are his rewards? The knowledge that he has lived a life of true usefulness in helping creatures that cannot help themselves.
To the VETERINARIAN- the ANIMALITARIAN- the livestock industry is grateful.
