QUACKERY

A report being read by Dr. Cowen on Quackery, and
some allusion having been made to the Liverpool Apothe-
caries' Company, with an accusation that they dealt in quack
medicines, the imputation was warmly repelled by Dr. Gil-
lon, who said that the drugs dispensed at that establishment
were of the first quality, and that all approach to dealing in
the manner alluded to had been discouraged to the umost
possible extent consistently with the interests of the institu-
tion, The gentlemen connected with that establishment
were as respectable as those who accused them.
Dr. BOISRAGEN proposed, and Mr. OSWALD, of the Isle
of Man, seconded a vote of thanks to Dr. Cowen, for the
report on quackery.
Dr. CONOLLY, of Cheltenham, read the report of the
Benevolent Fund Committee, which was of a very gratifying
nature. The amount raised last year was about £5O, £3O
of which was contributed by ladies.
Dr. KENDRICK, of Warrington, and Dr. BARLOW, of
Bath, moved and seconded a vote of thanks to Dr. Conolly,
which was carried.

Dr. BARON, of Cheltenham, read the report of the Vacci-
nation section.

This report was exceedingly interesting, detailing many
important cases, and showing the advantages to humanity of
this great discovery of Dr_ Jenner. It, occupie,d the reader
about two hours, and was listened to with marked attention.
It is quite impossible to do justice to this able dissertation
by extracts ; but it will, doubtless, be laid before the public
in the transactions of the association.

Dr. FORBES proposed, and Sir JAMES MURRAY seconded
the motion, that Professor Gibson, of Philadelphia, be elected
an honorary corresponding member.—Carried unanimously:

The thanks of the meeting were moved to the Mayor and
Corporation ; to the Medical Society, and to the Botanical
Society, for the accommodation afforded by them to the
Association on this occasion. Moved by D. Conolly ; se-
conded by Dr. Robertson, of Northampton, and unanimously
carried.

The thanks of the meeting were voted to the learned and
worthy president, for his unwearied attention to the mem-
bers, and his zealous exertions to promote the prosperity of
the Association.
