stimulus which we will receive from our
associations with you, and from hearing
the papers and discussions, and bv
greatly augmenting the growth of our
county societies. You are engaged in a
work which is one of continual care,
anxiety and self-sacrifce. The work of
true physician, like that of Sister of
Charity, is labor of love. Conse-
quently, sordid and selfish man is out
of place in our profession. Dav after
day you face disease that Others may
live, ''inhailing from the loathsome air
poison with every BREATH" Night after
night you leave the comforts of home to
aid those who are in distress.
Enduring with a martyrs might,
InrOuSH weary uay ana WAkeful nlgnl,
Far more than words may tell
Gentle and meek and lowly and unknown
Thy mercies measured by thy God alone"

ported and were, on motion, discharged.
The first distinctively professional pa
per of the convention was read at this
point by Dr. Emma S. Merritt chairman
of the committee on histology and mi
croscopy. The paper dealt with the
part played by bacteria or microbes in
the economy OF nature. 1t was SO full
of technical terms as to be uninteligible
to the uninitiated, and the gathering
around the reporters table began to
look sleepy, with the exception Of one
reporter, over whose face a look of
horror slowly crept as the lady medico
sketched the progress of fermentation
decomposition of ordinary beer, and gave
lively description Of the microbes that
inhabit the fluid during the various pro-
cesses. The microbes were said to have
similar appetites to human beings, and
to be Nationalists in so far that the diff
ferent classes worked on the cooperative
plan. The paper was said to be very
able effort, and was highly praised by
the doctors.

had performed successfully very diff
cult and dangerous operation; and the

and methods of conducting operations
