1--WE take this occasion to say that our re-
port was correct one in every particular, The
Association has very wisely, by the revision of
its constitution and bylaws, provided against

squabble. In regard to DR.. Putnam we have to
say that we are panied it we did him an in
justice When man speaks of hom9opa-
thist it is understood that he means homoeop-
athist physician Who ever heard of Bruno
MAN woman? As will be seen above the AS
ISOLATION requires all reports to be submitted to
its Secretary. No newspaper reporter, of
course, would submit his manuscript to the
consideration of any official except his chiefs
We accept the report furnished US because we
are otherwise unable to make complete one.
What information we have outside we shall
enclose in brackets. A physician, whose name
we did rot learn, moved that newspaper re-
porters be excluded from the ROOM The Asso-
citation, with great good sense, voted the prop
osition down. 1t is not to be supposed that an
assembly, comprising some of Names ablest
men, would entertain such an idea for an in
staut The display of intolerance was prompt
ly rebuked. After the Press had been suffi-
GENTLY condemned, the fight of the Bangor
doctors was resumed. DR.. Laughton made
some remarks concerning DIR. Sanger. The
Association gave DIR, Sanger a half hour in
which to reply. We regret that We are unable
to give an account of the discussion, which,
unfortunately, we did not hearl

pended upon the administration of bi-sul-
pilates

General Hospital, stating the action of the AS
ISOLATION in relation to raising funds, and Civ
ing synopsis of the work the buildings
for the past year, and expressing hope that
the Fair would so strengthen its funds as to
enable work to be resumed. 1t is State and
not Portland institution, We should have a
State pride in its completion. 1t is the child of
this association. Should we not care for it?
Scatter to the winds any differences of opinion
OF preiudices.
Dr. Fuller said: 'Let MS use every endeavor
| as individuals to supply funds for the hospital.
1t deserves our aid, and at this time each of US
in our own vicinity can do more than any gen.
eral agent Where there is will there is a
way"

the hospital. DR.. Buxton's agency last year

the hospital. All who did subscribe did SO
cheerfully.
