A large number of patients came be-

Mr.. : Henry, aged about aftyseight.-
Three months since a tumor was no.
ticed which rapidly enlarged, emscis-
ting the patient by an excessive dis
charge. Nothing malignant, however,
being discovered, itrwas hoped that
the tumor would soon exhaust itself,
and by the use of stimulants and ton
les, the patient might reach a happy
conVslescence. 1t was pronounced a
thickening of the omentum, which
had adhered, sloughed through, and
evacuated its contents into the intes=
tine. The patient was in charged DR..
Jones. The case of chronic opthalmia,
which has been before the society for
sometime, was sgain presented

as well, although q general improve
ment was manifest. DIR. Woodwork

ciety IN June. The granulations had
all disappeared, and the eyes to all APP
pearanoes had perfectly recovered

lad of sixteen came before the associa-
ton troubled with epilepsy which had
continued since early childhood, the
psroxysms growing more frequent and
becoming more violent during later
years, greatly imPaifing the mental
faculties. After due deliberation the
patient was put under treatment. The
case of chloasma from Vernon was fay.
orably reported upon. A child of Mr..
Osborn, having partical paralysis of one
side, was examined. No ~perceptible
atrophy having occurred, hopes were
entertained that a cur might be fe-
fected.
A case of epilepsy of eight years
standing vas next examined. The pa
tient was Mr.. Hays, of Fowler, about
fifty years of age. Considerable time
was employed IN obtaining the history
of the case. He will be under the
charge Of DR.. Woodwork. The aneu-
rism, of which mention was made in
the last report, was somewhat reduced
in sizs and the patient doing well.
