city this morning. in Annusl 8. ssion. We
were somewhat disappointed At the meager
ness Of the attendance being only
ssms ten or dozen delegates from abroad.
prominent among which W notice DE-. J. c.

Medical College at Keokuk, DR.. Bowen. Of
Isws City, and DR.. Carpenter. Of Dubuque.
The annual coavsation Of this body should
number At least seventy Ave delegates. But
though numerically insigni6eant, there is no
room for doubt thst the abundant talent
presest At this meeting will render its delib-
erations highly important and worthy Of the
careful attention Of the profession and the
public generally.
