its reorganization in 1866; its growth and

no society in the state. He concluded by
asking the society to act promptly and
tremendously in the work before them.
He then proceeded to the regular order OF
business.

This is list of only members of the
society. There are many physicians II
attendance who have not been elected
members.
A short and sharp discussion arose upon
a resolution offered by DR.. Guibar, o.
Topeka, giving the committee on creden
tials power to receive and accept new
members. This was strongly opposed by
some at first who claimed the resolution
was contrary to the constitution or the
society, but after considerable debate TIT
resolution was adopted.
| The next on the program was the presl
dents annual address. The address wa
in form of a paper, entitled, wat
as Therapeutic Agent" After readln;
by DR.. Minney, DR.. Lindsay, the secretar.
moved to receive it for discussion. Th'
paper elected very little discussion, as th
physicians present seemed to be unani
nous in endorsing the ideas and Theories
advanced therein.
On motion it was decided that al
papers read before the society be received
for discussion without special motion.
| The reception committee was not pre-
pared to report, but will report this morn
| ing.
On motion by DR.. Guibar each membe
