Liver complaint and dyspepsia arc the causes of
two-thrds of the cases of consumption. Many are
now complaining with dull pain in the side, the bow

they take two heavy colds, and if the cough in
these be suddenly stopped the lungs, liver and
stomach clog, and remain torpid and inactive, and

inevitable result.

MEDICAL AsaoclAr1oS or viRoISlAs-The an
e quail cohvcnion.of the Medical Association Of
Virginia, met il this city on Tuesday night Ow-
ing to the prevalence of the horse epidemic many
Of the member} were prevented from coming.
Mostsof the Physicians from the county footed
it, and we heard of oneenthusiastic member from
Fauquier who walked from Harrisonburg. 6
The meeting was called TO order BY the Presi-
dent. Dr., A. NJ. Fauntleroy, Of Staunton. On
motion of DR.. Mcdonald. the reading Of the
minutes was dispensed with. AZ
After most beautiful and touching prayer by
the Rev Geo B. Taylor, of the Baptist church,
Staunon, the President introduced the Hon. A.
Il. Il. Stuart, who. on behalf of the city Council,
addressed the meeting in some brief and appro'
pirate remarks. The President then read res
olution from the city Council extending the hos
pitalities Of the city and commencing the objects
of the Association. After which. DR.. Samuel
Kennerly, of Augusta, was introduced. who, as
the exponent Of the Medical fraternity OF the
city and county, warmly welcomed their profess
sional brothers to this city of hills and vouch-
safed- the Association a harmonious session and
the profession great benefit from the &C nsulta-
ton Of its members. DR.. Kennerly was followed
by Dr.. L, D. Edwards Of Richmond the orator
OF the society, and we have rarely, if
ever: before, heard an address SO practical, SO
suggestive .and so chaste. Although quite q
young man, DR.. Edwards reflects great credit
upon the Association, and we regret. that
space forbids our noticing at more length his ell
oquent and interesting speech. After the con-
clusiou Of DR.. Edwards Grafton, an invitation was
read from DR.. Stribling, superintendent of the
Western Lunatic Asylum, inviting the association
to visit that Institution, also one from Mr.,
Mccoy, Principal Of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind
