by the convention.

voluntary paper on REST in Nervous Dis
ease," +" the importance of which cannot be
though no positive rule
could be laid down to be followed in all
cases, Is no two cases are just alike and
the amount or kind of rest suitable for one
patient may not be suitable for others.
The physician must keep in view the
mental and bodily condition Of the patient,
and regulate the amount Of rest and exer-
else accordingly, safe rule being to give
more rest than appears to be absolutely
necessary.
A delegate spoke ut some length of the
value of electricity rs an agent with which
to exercise the muscles of patients.
The secretary stated that the COM
mistec of arrangements requested all
holders of white banquet tickets to return
them and have them exchanged for others

DR.. Trail Green read paper on
The State Medical Society and the Pre-
paratOry Education Of Medical Students"
DIR. Green took the ground that many stu
dents enter the medical schools entirely un-
prepared that many Of them have scarcely
the rudiments of an English education.
This society insists OH higher qualifications
but there are large numbers OF physicians
who do not belong to the state or county
societies and these cannot be reached and
cannot be made to conform with the rules
of the society but they and their stu
dents can be reached by the medical
schools demanding higher requirement
on the part Of pupils, and refusing gradu-
alton to those who do not attain the
proper standard. 1t is disgrace that
many young men fresh from the college
are rejected rs unworthy or unfit when
they apply for positions in tie army and
navy.

delegate to the Massachusetts, medical So
ciety.

mittee had been appointed.

The action taken by the Legislature dur.
ing its present session was recited, show
ing that the Senate bill relative to said

the unavoidable absence Of some of it's
friends in the House, but that the matter
