VETEBI2STABY SCIENCE.

This science is taught during the third year. In the first term the Anatomy and Physiology of the domestic animals is taught by lectures, demonstrations, and dissections. Post-mortems of healthy and diseased animals are made, so that the students may become practically acquainted with the tissues in health and in disease. The first six weeks of the second term are devoted to the study of Veterinary Medicines, their action and uses; the remainder of the term to lectures on the principles and practice of Veterinary Science. Daring the third term practical instruction is given in clinical work, as cases present themselves, at the Veterinary Infirmary, where animals are treated or operated on free of charge for the instruction of the students. Lectures are given on Veterinary Sanitary Science and the Principles and Practice of -Veterinary Surgery.. Students desiring to pursue the study of Veterinary Science further than is laid down in the agricultural course, will find ample facilities for so doing.
