"Eat, drink and be good fellows, for
after few years there will be no
drinks"
The above quotation is translation
of the motto which adorned the cover of
the elaborate menu of the banquet eX-
tended the members of the Minnesota
Medical society by the Ramsey County
Medical society. 1t was great ban
quet. Everybody did eat and drink,
and doctors, you know, are always good
fellows. Over 200 of the leading prac-
titioners OF the state were gath
cred around the banquet ia
bles, when DR.. Park Richie,
the toast-master, started the speech
making ball rolling with considerable
velocity. In most entertaining man.
her DR.. Richie presented DR.. Justus
Ohage, the president of the Ramsey
County Medical society. to the assem-
blage. President Ohage heartily well
coined the guests of the society: he was
followed by DR.. w. L. Beebe, the
newly-elected president of the state So
ciety,wh very briefly thanked the local
for the evenings enjoyment.
1.-The State of Minnesota" was the
somewhat heavy chestnut assigned to
Attorney General NJ. E. Clapp, who,
however, managed to deliver a very
clever talk upon it. The great prosper
ity and wonderful natural resources of
Minnesota were painted in glowing col
OFFS. and the part taken in this develop
ment by the doctors of the state was
eloquently portrayed. The brilliant
legal adviser of the North Star
state was followed by DIR. r.
o. Beard, of Minneapolis, in a
very carefully prepared address upon
the important topic of Medical Educa-
tion." The great advances of the last
few years in the training of the Amer
lean doctor were enumerated and
the part played in this adj
vancement in the medical practice.
I'VE have with us the representatives
of both church and state," said DR..
Richie, as he glanced at Attorney Gen
eral Clapp and Rev. DR.. White, of st.
cred bright speech. The Spiritual
handled it in most mastery manner.
1.-The minister and the physician" he
said, "should never be separated. To-
gether they make up the perfect man."
DR.. Talbot Jones, of st. Paul. was
next happily introduced by the toast
master and proceeded to deliver one of
| the cleyerest speeches of the evening
on the subject of medical Men and
Societies" II have been thinking to-
night" said DIR. Jones. THAT since
| Joshua blew his trumpet before the
walls of Jericho and they fell
down, that this has been the
greatest exhibition of wind instru-
ments on record" The doctor
passed on narrating number of spicy
stories and keeping the meeting in the
best possible humor ''All joking
aside" said DR.. Jones, II consider that
one of the doctors advantages is his OPP
portunity to study the minds of all
classes of society. He has discretion
taxed by thousand secrets, and tact
tried by the seyerest tests"
1.-The Physician Abroad" was the sub
ject of a short address by Dr.. G. n
Hewitt, of Red Wing, who has just re-
turned from an extended European
trip. His observations of foreign man.
ners and people were related in delight
full manner, and his speech was thor
oughly enjoyed by all. DIR. Frank All
port. of Minneapolis, talked on 1.-THE
Specialist in Medicine" while DR.. j. G.
Adams, of Lake City, treated 1.-The Coun.
try Practitioner in lively and enter
tanning way. DR.. w. J. Mayo. OF ROches
ter, was assigned the topic of The
Country Physician" which he treated in
his usual spicy and animated manner
DR.. A. E. Senkler, of st. Paul, told Of
1.-The Physician in Emergencies" and
DR.. Alex. J. Stone, of st. Paul, wound
up the speechmaking with splendid
| address on THE Pioneer Physician"
The banquet broke up shortly before
midnight.
