Annual session of the state
OF DIR. SatehweI.

MuRrREEsBoRo', N. G., April 30.
The State Medical Society of North Carolina. held
its annual session in Edenton on the 18th inst This
was the 9Th Anniversary of the Society, and you will
doubtless be pleased to hear that the meeting was
one of great interest. The annual address de-
livered by DR.. SatchwelI, of New Hanover, on the
subject of the obstacles to the advancement of the
science and profession of Medicine. We had not
the pleasure of hearing the address, but Judging of
the production by the man, sc er pede Herculem we
should pronounce it good decidedly. DR.. S. has at
tainepi most enviabIe position in his profession, yet
in the morning of life, with few of the adventurous
aids that have elevated others, he has been the arti
fcer of his own fortune. bright future is IN re-
serve for this deserving man.
Dr. Jno W. Hutcbngs of this place. was appoint
ed delegate to the American Medical Association in
1864 responsible position and doubtless worthlly
filed.
The next session of the Association will be held in
New Berne, in May, 1858.
