County Medical society met last night
at the Office OF DR.. J. L. Dryer, with a
good attendance present. These meet
ings are held the first Tuesday in each
month for the purpose of exchanging
ideas in regard to different subjects and
diseases. etc., and a great deal OF good
can be derived by such meetings. 1t
shows that our physicians are well
up" in all that goes to make good
doctor, or else they would not consult
each others ideas on these important
subjects.
The doctor who entertains the rest OF
the profession always leads the dis
cussion or else reads a paper prepared
by himself on some topic of interest to
the profession, or else an interesting
