1t met in Odd Fellows Hall, in this
city, on Wednesday last. with a goodly
number in attendance, Notwithstanding
the downpour OF the early morning
which would have kept less resolute
spirits safe at home.
The first business on hand WAS the in
stalation OF officers and following this
came the inaugural address OF President
J. q. Carpenter, OF stanford, which was
replete with interest, sketehing as 1t did,
ser;atim, the presidents of the associa-
ton from its inception down to the
present. A pleasant Renaissance of
the auld lang syne :! He told OF those
who were eminent in literature, pre-
eminent in journalism and as teachers;
OF those who by their peculiar skill with
the scalpel or for other excellencies in
the healing art, had been called to the
cities, where their talents might have a
wider range, and wound up with some
pleasantries OF the ex-otiicers, who are
now OF the rank and file, but still bat
Ting for progressive medicine.

City, opened the discussion with an

autumn. The list of presentible disea-
SEES is increasing and glorious times will
they be when, at the close OF the 18th
century we can say that typhoid fever
need not exist. An animated discus
sion followed the reading OF this essay.
