Butchers elegant and cOmmOdiOus resi-
dence on Scioto street, where, at noon
splendid spread. prepared under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Butcher, was served. There is
a unanimous sentiment on the part Of the
Eclectics that they had never known before
ultra, and delicacies and subStantials were
nicely harmOnized into desirable whole.
The association voted their thanks to the
kind host and hostess. Informal and i'm
promptu toasts followed. DIR. Butcher,
sen, who is one of the oldest Eclectics in
Ohio. told Of the DAYS when it was danger
GUS to practice eclecticism for fear of per
sOnal violence, so strong was the ignorant
prejudice. He felt almost a renewal OF life
to see these strong, sturdy, young
men in charge of the advancement
and Sustainment of the school. Drs. Rus
sell, Mclaughlin, Austin and others fol-
lowed in brilliant style. 1t was said that
the Central Ohio Association is known and
talked about over the whole realm of &c
lecticism from ocean to ocean. Its popular
ity was manifested unmistakably. From
its ranks DIR. Russell had been elected to
the highest position the school presented
president ef the national association-the

lege, was chosen. Dr. Butcher is pres dent
of the state association and DIR. Miranda II

w, the Ohio Southern and the L. c. n St.
L.. in the person of DIR. Russell. All
these henOrs and responsibilities have been,
in greater or less degree, due To the in
flnence of the association. Such was the
tenor of the speeches made.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: President-Dr.
q. W. Reichard; vice presidemt-Dr J. VI.
Austin; secretary-Dr. S. ID. Miranda;
treasurer. r. Mclaughlin; board of

staff and J. T. Mclaughlin.
Two interesting clinics Were presented.
One was child of five who had never
talked. An operation upon the tongue was
suggested. The other was a case of gOtre,
i'll which the eXcisInn of the thyroid gland
was found to be the only remedy. 1t was
not attempted, owing to the subjects de
cling health.
The association then adjourned 10 meet
