The BLESSED DOCTORS
In Session Thursday Night Tell
Some Que er Stories.
Hair Eight Fee. Long, Finger and
Toe Nails Growing Inside
the Human Body.

The Travis County Medical society was
in session Thursday night and discussed
several important medical topics. The
main SUBJ ect of the evening was "Uremia
and Apoplexy, Their Differentiation and
Treatment" which was presented in good
style by DIR. q. o. Weller. The discussion
was earnest and engaged in by nearly all
present.
DR.. John Preston reported an inter
esting case which occurred at the Lunatic
asylum a week or two ago, mention of
which was made in The STATEsMAN at
that time. The patients death was
caused by obstruction of the small in
testine, end not by large hair
ball found in the stomach at the autopsy
as The STATESMAN had it. the tumOr
was found in the abdominal cavity at
tached to the broad ligament some dis
lance from the INSTRUCTED bowel and en-
tirely indie pendent of it. The tumor was
four inches long, pear shape, and was
composed of hair iRclosed in a tibrous
capsule. 1t was perfectly encysted and
harmless.
Some of the hairs of which this tumor
is composed, if Strengthened out, would
measure eight or ten feet. These tUmors
are called dermOid cysts. Tissues, such as
the skin of the head, are sometimes
formed in various parts of the body
from which hairs grow, the same
as on the head. Nails are
formed in the same way. Why
such tissue grows out of the usual place,
has not been satisfactorily explained any
more than why some people are born with
mo)es and other deformities.
The next subject for discussion will be
"Diphtheria." Doctor Preston will write
the paper, and Doctor Bennett will open
the discussion.
Drs. B. F. Church and j. P. Lehde, both
of Austin, made application for member
ship.
The evening was so taken up by the
discussion, that the election of officers
was postponed until the first Thursday
night in September.
The District Medical society will hold
its fifth quarterly meeting in Austin about
the middle of September.

fair and brave Lockhart to the supper
and dance at the residence of Mr.. j. Ar
thur Bailey, of Creedmore, some fifteen
miles north of Lockhart. Owing to cir
cumstarces over which he had no control,
the editor and his better half could not
attend. From those who went we learn
that the guests were treated to royal
supper. Music of the best kind was on
hand to keep time for the light fantastic
toe, which was tripped to wee hour in
the morning. All are loud in their
praises of the magnificent manner in
which they were entertained by Mr..
Bailey. Between 300 and 400 attended.
All join in thanks to the kind consider
alton of their knightly host.

In Bad Condition,

The bridge on the San Antonio road,
just beyond where you turn to go into
Fairview park, Is in dangerous condi-
