hoped all who could would attend the
various medical associations, and spoke
particularly of the American Medical
Association which he attended last year
They were handsomely treated. In fact
they were perhaps treated too much

their doctrines in regard to diet, but
they would learn much, and enjoy much
and no one could afford to refuse to at
tend their associations, unless he had q
strong excuse.

claimed a moment to say word in ia
vor of the presiding officer who had per
formed his duties so well, to which DIR
