DIR. Forwood read several appreciative articles
from medical journals concerning the death of
the lamented DR.. s. d. Gross, of Philadelphia,
who was one of the most eminent surgeons of
the country, and offered resolutions in relation
thereto. which were adopted.
DR.. Lee asked If any of his brother physicians
knew of any dangerous effects following the
use of hypodermic injections of morpha, &c.
He alluded TO the prejudice against this mode of
administering anodynes, on the part of physi-
clans and others, and mentioned number of
cases in which he had used it with happy effect
in the relief of acute pain. He had never seen
any serious injury resulting theretrom, but
would like to have the opinion of other men,
bers on the subject.
Dr. ii. G. Whiteiord said he had used the nv.
podermic syringe between four and five thous-
and times, in his practice, and found that It
gave almost instantaneous relief to pain. He
could see no objection to its use.
DR.. Forwoord said that he probably had the
first hypodernic syringe ever introduced into
the county and had used it with statutory results
for the last twenty. five years,
Drs. Scott, Riley and Hopkins also eoinoided
with the opinions expressed by the other mem
bers in regard to the advantages of hypodermic
injections of anodynes, &C., in cases where from
extreme irriability of the stoma CHI, the medi-
cines could not be taken in the usual way
