TVS paper was laid on the table for fn-
ture discussion.
DIR. NJ. E Robinson, read paper
on :'Treatmeut of Cystits with warm
Water" DR.. Frank Duffy, in discus
ii Mr. Robinson's paper. remarked
mat he thought the stone in the blHd
der which was discovered during tho
treutmo nt, was amply sufficient as an
operating cause for the Cystics, thoug e
there might have been another cs11s"
operating in conjunction with it..
DIR. SeaweIl. thought that the CHI.
succeeding the Introduction of tn
catheter was merely q yigor and LOT
inalarial chill.
DR.. Robinson, said that he never
claimed that it Was mafarlal chill
that he had another purpose IN view
IN administering quinine as detailed
in his paper.

lowing resolution.

ing a case of luxation of the shoul-
der reduced after two years in lady
Of 64 years old. DR.. Wood, visiting
member thought the probabiit OF
beneftting patient of her age in such
a case, so remote that it ould be use
less to recommend any line of treat
meEt.
The President excused Drs. Duffy

DIR. W. L. Emmett, read paper on
Diptheria, DR.. NJ. J. DeKosset, after
compEmenting DR.. Emmett for the
practical views expressed in his paper
proceeded to discuss the nature of this
disease and it's treatment. He af-
filmed that it is blood disc Sc, with
certain local symptoms, particularly
recommended Suiphide of Potassium
III combination with quinine, as a pre-
| tentative he advised issolation of the
healthy from the disease, and especl-
ally deprecated the pernicious prac
tice of indiscriminate kissing chill
dren, the kissing of their own children
where the disease may be prevailing,
even in latent form.
DIR. Wood also proceeded to give
his views upon this disease. He de-
ciared that nearly all malignant cases
were fatal. His experience enabled
him to say, when visiting family at
tackled that he could give future
prognosis- could say after examina-
| ton that it as favorable or unfavor-
able. He found great difficulty IN the
! administration of either medicine or
| nourishment to children, which was a
potent cause of the fatality. He could
recommend no special treatment.
DR.. DeRosset thought the most fire.
qGent and the most dangerous cause
Of the spread of tn, disease in this
city was the frequent change of SER
wants and hoped to see a remedy
for this evil.
DR.. Satchwell called upon DIR. W.
G. Thomas, for his views.
DR.. Thomas, was satisfied the dis
ease was propagated by contagion- He
detailed the course and treatment of
an interesting case which had been
dismissed as eonvalesent for TIN. e
week and at the expiration of that
time found paralysis of the relum Ia
late which.prevented. deglutition, which
case eventually proved fatal. e had
no specific for diptheria. He lad
seen many cases of apthous sore thr, at
which it was different to distingui b
from true diptheria in the first stag.
He d d not think children complained
mucn of the throat III the first stugee
of true diptlleria, and he did not think
that an exultation other than the ton.
sill, was diptheritic in every case. He
Re commended quinine and iron to sus-
tain the patient and to wash with phos-
rate of potash as 7disinfectant, after
wiping off the oxidation when it could
be done without too much violence.
