lis, chairman of the bureau of surgery.
followed with brief outline of how
fractures of all kinds should be treated.
He said that in his opinion there were
not enough homeopathic surgeons, and
this gave the allopathic doctors, who
all did more OF less surgery, a great ad-
vantage over their homeopathic breth-
ren. Dr.. j. l.. Steele, of st. Paul, told
of peculiar case that had came under
his observation. An old lady had fallen,
and three weeks after it was found
that she had fractured one of her hip
ha,N To-, ho1 1nf
shown itself before the three weeks,
the doctor did not know, and wanted
information. A discussion followed, in
which it was held that doctors could not
always tell the disease at first glance,
without study.
Next on the programme was the pres
entation of several papers OH various
skin diseases. The papers read were
interesting in the extreme and were
well received. The afternoon session
closed with paper on obstetrics, by
