jaunt. They have had no end of good
times since they have been in the North
west, and they are greatly pleased.
They have even pronounced the news
paper reports the best they had ever re-
celved, and complimented the reporters
personally. That is something new for
a technical convention.
The previous nights dissipation made
the doctors late yesterday morning, and
when the session did commence there
were many sleepy heads.
S. A. Locke, Minneapolis; c. II.
Wagner, Faribault; W. n. Bennett,
Fitchburg, Mass; K. d. Matcham. Min
neapolis; J. W. Ashley, River Falls.
Mimi; and Wilson 0. Adler, of Roch-
ester, were elected members. 1t was
reported that there were 953 members
last year. Since then Is have died
and 127 were admitted, making the
total membership 1,C65. There have
been POI doctors and 1877 visitors III at
tendance upon the convention.
The committee on presidents address
reported in favor of his recommends
tions respecting medical legislation, but
it criticised the report of the committee
in reference to the insurance cOmpa-
MES, on the ground that it was undigni-
fed, and it was decided to recall the
memorial.
The next business was a session OF the
bureau on gynacology, of which Dr.. AL
bert Claypool, OF Toledo, presided. 1t was
a very interesting meeting, indeed. DIR.
NJ. T. Runnell, of Kansas City, pre-
sented a paper on ''Urethitas," and DR..
Kenyon told of the particular methods
of treating that class of diseases men
toned in the paper. DR.. F. 6. Comstock.
of st. Louis, called attention to the fact
that the most common of venerial dis
eases was not as simple as was sup
posed. The ordinary specific disease
was very serious one, and 1t is ten
times more serious in man than in a
woman, although it is generally sup
posed to be of no consequence.
Mrs. Martha &. Ripley of Minneapo-
lis, asked DR.. Comstock if in his expert
ence, this disease was intermittent.
There are many instances" said Dr.. Com
stock, where gentlemen"
Don't call them gentlemen Interrupted
Mrs. Ripley.
There are many instances repeated DR..
Comstock, where men-"
Don't call them men, either commanded
Mrs. Ripley.
Call 'em males,' shouted some one in the
audience.
''There are many instances where males"
continued Dr.. Comstock, and this time with
out interruption, where males who had this
supposedly simple disease had been cured,
and yet after lapse of several years their
wives contracted it from them"
DR.. Ludlam, who is recognized as one
of the greatest gyn8cOlOgistS in the
country, spoke forcibly upon the sub
ject, and in the course of his remarks
he said he knew of nothing in life so
sad as to see beautiful woman brought
down to a bed of sickness by profit
gate wretch of a husband.
DR.. Cowperthwaite, of Iowa City, sus-
tained these extreme views, while DR..
Roberts, of Minneapolis, cOmbatted
them. The president called the meet
ing to order on the ground that the dis
cussion had departed too far from the
original topic. Papers were read by
DR.. Ludlam. DIR. J. G. Wood, of Ann
Arbor: DR.. Porter. of Detroit, and DR..
Streeter, of Chicago.
The section in sanitary science held
a session at noon. Papers were read as
follows: .'Climate in Its Relation to
the Preservation of HEALTH" DR.. B. W.
Jones, of Philadelphia; 'Relation of
Work and Rest to the Preservation of
HEALTH: DR.. H. E. Beebee, Sidney, O.;
sSewer Gas and Its Effects Upon
Health DIR. J. +. Gilman, of Chicago.
and s'Clothing in Relation to HEALTH"
DR.. I. Y. Kinne, of Paterson, n. j.
Notwithstanding the practical character
of the subject, the papers were purely
technical in their character, and they
advanced little that is new.
The institute held final session at
ha lar do fn
a memorial service and the announce
ment of committees. The doctors
passed resolutions thanking everybody,
made few pleasant speeches and then
adjourned. The committees appointed
