all laws torbiddiDg the study of practi-

which to report, which request was
granted.
A paper on Hernia was read by DR..
Brock, and referred to the Committee

granted to DR.. Brock to have it printed
in such other medical publication as he
NAV select.
The report of the Board OF Censors,
to which the matter Of settlement with
the late Secretary, DR.. Jas E. Reeves,
had been referred, was taken from the
table and read. The report shows that
DR.. Reeves owed the society the sum OF
$l3, which sum he has since paid.
The Board further state that they have
found, in an examination of the case,
want OF due respect on the part OF
DR.. Reeves towards the gentlemen com.
posing this society in addressing letter
abounding in highly offensive language
to the chairman of the committee ap-
pointed by your President, and the
Board Of Censors would respectfully
insist that such a course of action is
and shohld be contrary TO the tenor Of
the Code of Ethics, by which this
society is governed, is liable to severe
reprehension and, unles, properly ad-
justed by DR.. Reeves in his full acknowl-
edsement Of wrong, we recommend his
expulsion. The report OF the Board OF
Censors was adopted.
Quite a lively discussion grew out Of
motion TO have the letter referred to
in the report Of the Board OF Censors
read. 1t was finally ordered TO be
read.
DR.. Reeves, then, in obedience to the
requirements OF the report Of the Board
OF Censors and by permission OF the
society made an explanation Of the
causes which led to the writing Of the
letter, and an apology to the society
which was deemed unsatisfactory.
DR.. Reeves then made the following
written apology:
In INV letter tothe special committee
say that | saw certain credits &c,
made on the Treasurer books by the
Treasurer, that if they do not now 50
appear they must have been erased,
etc, or that my eyes did not serve me
correctly The said committee OF un.
prejudice gentlemen said after an ex-
animation OF said records that they
find no snch evidences of alteration.
Therefore | was surely mistaken, and l
heartily regret having made this declara'
ton or any other unkind allusions to
this society. JAMES E. REEVES.

sufficient.
