much larger than that of the Pharmaceutical
association, and much more buSineSS-like in
character. The gavel of President E. j.
Davis of Mankato fell at 1880 a. M, and DR..
Stryker asked the Divine blessing
upon the proceedings. Prof. w. W. Fol-
well of the state university delivered
the formal address of welcome, which was a
chaste, scholarly piece of rhetoric. After
bidding the medicos a graceful welcome to
the city, he paid glowing tribute to the
noble profession they representative pio-
neer of the great protective art Of humanity,
the preservation of health, the prolongation
Of life. His commission, he said, to represent

THE PRESIDENTS ANNUAL ADDRESS
was read by DIR. Davis from the chair. He
complimented the association on the vast
strides the profession is making, and es
pecially in America Each found more
American works among the standard text
books, and it was no longer necessary, in OBJ
tanning thorough medical education, to go
outside of the English language. Medicine
now ranks as an exact science, and the ply
sicians daily abandoned theories for estab-
lished fact. He urged the Importance of san
itary medicine and advocated the establish
ment of a separate chair in our medical
schools.
Crnn at 0fn nd
Jones were appointed a committee to report
upon the address. DR.. VIM. Meecher, dele
gate from the Wisconsin State society, was
introduced and given the courtesies of the So
ciety. T. +. Stark, delegate from the Phar
maceutical association, presented aresolution
asking the society to declare in favor of caus-
ing drugs to be mixed by retailers instead of
manufacturing pharmacists. The courtesy
of the pharmacists was returned by the ap-
polntment of Drs. Phillips, Minneapolis;
Wheaton, St. Paul, and McGaughey, Winona,
as delegates to their next meeting at New
Ulm.
