The forty ninth annual meeting OF the
State Medical Society took place yesterday
| at the Casino Hail. corner of Union and
| Second streets. This is OF the oldest
and most respected societies in the country,
| embracing, az it does, the representative
| physicians of Tennessee. The convention
| yesterday was most important one, and will
be watched a meeting OF the utmost sig
| nificance, not only because OF the character
of the participating doctors, but because the
| place Of the convocation has been the scene
| of great, historic plague. The contrast
| between Memphis, before and after the
yellow-fever, can but strike the visiting doc
| tor as being most marked. Great interest Is
felt in the meeting. Yesterday morning the
meeting was called to order by DIR. Thornton,
the president of the association. The follow
ing physicians were present. q: A. Baxter,
