1.-The first paper read at the alter
noon session was one by DR.. G. p.
Conn of Concord. N. H. DIR. Conn
is surgeon-in-chief of the Boston and
Maine system of railroads and is the
only representative of the railway sur
gical profession in attendance on the
convention from east of the Hudson
river. The doctors residence is 1900
miles from this city and he has prob
ably come greater number of miles
than any other visiting surgeon. The
doctor drew up the bill which passed
the State Legislature in 1881 establish
ing the existing board OF health in N.
H., and since its organization he has
been president of that board. The
paper read by DIR. Conn is the result
of an inspection made by the sanitary
committee of the Boston and Maine
system of railways in 1882. 1t has
been productive of the most beneficial
results in the east and is entitled TO
careful consideration by the railroads
of the west. DIR. Conn began his re-
marks on railway hygiene by referring
to the progress that medicine has made
during the last quarter of a century
and its influence on the work of the |
surgeon.
Modern surgery demands that every |
known precaution should be used a.
gainst putrefactive influences obtaining
a power over patient. Sanitary
medicine may be far from an exact
