The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1893-05-23

to the medical literature of the state.
The work Of to-dayis session has
necessarily been speedily accom-
plished. There was much on the
programme to complete. The inter-
esting discussions of the papers had to
be dispensed with and most papers
were cut short in order that all of
them might be given.
The attendance to-day has not been
so large as Yesterday, many having
taken the night and early morning
trains for home. All told, 1873 menu
bers Of the association were in attend
ance and enrolled. There were about
30 or 80 doctors present who are not
nor did not become members Of the
association. 1t is a low estimate to-
say that $50 doctors were in attend
ance upon the Wednesday afternoon
session.
The retiring president, DIR. A. b.
Mi Ter, of Macon, has done much for
the association during his tenure of
office, and deserves the hearty
thanks of the members, which he re-
ceived.
Secretary Fry has also been of great
service to the association audit is a de-
serving tribute to his usefulness that
he has been made permanent sec
rotary.
The death of but one member was
reported to the association during the
past year. 1t was that of ex-Presi-
dent johnson.
1t is with regret that Sedalia parts
with the iovial pill mixers, and it is
hoped that the day is not far distant
when they will again meet here.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
DIR. a. V. l. Brokaw, of st. Louis,
was absen. and his address upon the
Conservative Treatment of Uterine
Myomia by Operation" had to be
passed.
The Use of the knife in the treat
ment of Uterine Fihroids" was the
subject of DIR. A. H. Cordiers cot
Kansas City, paper.
One of the most interesting and
learned papers delivered at this ses-
sion was that by DIR. J. {. Mulhall. of
st. Louis, on Lung Diseases The
Doctor is very scientific gentleman and
his treatise dealt with some of his per-
sOnal observations with comments
thereon.
The secretary of the association, DIR.
Frank X. Fry, of st. Louis, gave the
association valuable discourse "A
Second Case of Multiple Neuritis fol-
lowing ChOrea." DIR. Fry handled
much the same subject al the meeting
o. the association last year, and his
remarks were partially confined to the
discussion of some of the cases he had
in hand and described at that time.
Whatever DR.. Fry has to say is al
ways interesting.
"When l began to study medicine"
said DIR. Hanau w. Loeb, of ST.
Louis, "a relative of mine said to me-
that the only thing to learn to be
successful physician, was to become
able to cure headache" The doctor
thought that the assertion,
though little broad, came pretty
near being a fact. DIR. Loeb
discussed Headaches" but confined
himself to those resulting from a ma
sal affection. 1t was full Of wise sug-
ges,ions to his brother doctors.
"Puerperal Eclampsia" was a sub
iect that claimed DR.. P. S. Wilker-
sons attention in valuable paper
doubtiess-which could not be heard
twenty feet distant.
The various papers presented pro-
vOked some healthy and heated dis
cussion, after the conclusion Of which
the doctors made rush for the sup
per table.
EVENING Session.
After the reading and approving of
the minutes of the afternoon session,
DIR. G. W. HALEY, of Kansas City,
opened the evening session with a val
liable paper containing some interest
ing observations upon the Effects of
Anaemia of the Brain ;" wounds of the
sini,ses with treatment.
COMPOUND Fractures of the Skull
formed basis for valuable cOntribu-
tion to the associations literature by
DIR. Frank J. Lutz, of st. Louis. He
illustrated his remarks by a collection
of skulls and bones that reminded one
Of the grave scene in Hamlet.
DIR. H. c. Dalton, of st. Louis,
gave his treatment Of three difficult
cases Of the rupture Of small intes-
tines.
DR.. Lamphear gave some
nm ssvntra Cra.
