CLEVELAND, June 4-To-day, the second
days session of the American Institute of
Homeopathy was largely attended. Many
valuable reports and papers on scientific
subjects were presented and discussed. The
announcement Of the expulsion of seven
homeopathic physicians from the Massa-
chusetts Medical Society was received with
shouts of derisive laughter and applause.
DR.. J. L. Talbot, of Boston, one of the
expelled members. explained the situation
in Massachusetts,. He said the great power
of the press throughout the country had
been excited in favor of homeopathy and
against the bigotry and intolerance of the
allopaths, and had held up the latter to
public derisiOn. The result of the persecu-
ton has been that, through the almost uni
versal sympathy of the public of Massachu-
setts, over 100000 were raised for the
equipment and endowment of the homeo-
pathic hospital in Boston, and the estab-
fishment of homeopathic college there, as
part of the Boston University.
A banquet will be given the delegates to-
night.
