Mr.. President and gentlemen of the Medical

admiration for the distinguished names it has
given to history from the earliest period to the

extend to you a hearty and cordial welcome.

profitable one to yourselves and your society

The trains leave here in The morning for the
four cardinal points, giving you IL ride by day
light through 50. 63l square miles of wheat

Your programme is too long, and too broad,
and of too much Importance to your assoeia-

betokened prosperity and peace He spoke OF
