meeting, which were adopted without
comment. DR.. Lair next offered res
olution that the case of DR.. Fierce be
made the special order of the forenoon,
which was adopted.
DR.. Fierce then presented to the So
ciety very satisfactory evidence of kis
qualification to proceed with the prao-
tice ofmedlcine, and offered reasona-
BILE apology for not sooner presenting
his credentials. On motion Of DR..
Crumit, Society adjourned for dinner.
L. NJ Session. President called the
members to order at p. M when Dr.
Baker presented very interesting case
OF Cares Of the Humerus," which has
been under treatment Of DIR. Sylvester
and himself during the last two years.
This case brought out considerable dis
cusslon on two important points in the
treatment, viz: the medical treatment,
and the propriety of asurglcal operation
for the removal of the carious bone.
In the absence of the regular essayist,
DR., Baker was kind enough to present
the society with some very important
views on the subject of "Stmuleats as
food" The Doctors though unfinished,
was replete with common sense, and not
less was it the embodiment of the every
day observations OF the practical ph ysi-
clan. But that for which it deserved
the greatest praise, was the evidence of
research, and depth of thought, on the
part of its author. A little more of
this spirit of research, this close rsadin0,
would lbe very good and profitable
dose for all the members of the society.
The name of Dr. VIM. Pickett was next
proposed for membership. The DR..
having no credentials to present, stated
that he was ready, and wished to appear
before the board of Examiners for this
certificate. On motion OF DR.. Kehoe,
it was resolved that the examination of
candidates hereafter be made in pri-
Vate, and the report of the board be
made in writing by the chairman of
said board. DR.. Sylvesters credentials
were next accepted. Dr.. Lair asked
the Society to wait on him until the
next meeting, as he had neglected to
bring his credentials. DR.. Gorslene re-
ported favorable progress with his in
terestlng case of abdominal tumor.
The annual election of officers next
ensued. Drs Monahan and Lair were
reelected to the respective positions of
President and Secretary, by acclamation.

sayist for the November meeting Drs

the following report: "We, the Board
before whom appeared DR.. VIM Pickett
for examination, do hereby certify that
we fnd Dr. VIM Pickett's knowledge
of the various branches constituting the
science of medicine, entirely too linn
tied to justify us in recommending him
