COMMITTEES.
At the conclusion OF the reading OF the re-
port, DR.. Brodie of Michigan said that Inc
matter was one OF great importance to the
association, and in order that intelligent &C.
ton could 5e had thereon he moved that Inc
report be printed aud special hour set apart
tomorrow (Thursdsyl for les consideration
Upon sscertaining that the report In full
would be printed in the city papers, the mo-
ton to print was withdrawn, and the time
for its discussion fixed Immediately after the
preliminary exercises this Thursday morning.
, The convention then took up the hrst
amendment proposed to the laws OF the asso-
citation, being Que offered by DR.. D. b. Good
willie to Art. II Sec. s. Permanent Members;
strike ont the words shut without the right
to vote"
This proposed amendment gave rise to quite
q spirited debate, but its fate was sealed by q
ringing speech from DR.. Davis, OF Chicago,
who took grounds against 1t, because its
adoption would have tendency to dislnte'
CRATE the local societies, and upon the further
ground, that while the permanent members
did not have vote. they were permitted to
participate in the debates, and voted indirectly
t. ough their local societies.
The amendment was laid upon the table by
a decisive vote.
At this point a recess OF ten minutes was
taken.
THE scIgSoE OF MEDICINE.
Upon coming to order, DR.. j. A. Deter
lony, OF Louisville, Ky, chairman of the Sec
ton OF practice Of medicine. etc., delivered q
lengthy and interesting address, reviewing the
great progress made Ia medical science
10 the last century. During that period
most Important discoveries had been
made, bearing upon the diagnosis OF disease.
Many of the most important ard Effective
systems of practice were unknown even nifty
years ago. =,

The address was closely followed by the
