the abest physicians IN the United States.
Many OF the prominent members will at

1t is expected that about 1000 mem bers
will be in attendance Over 800 of these
will come from the East. This is the
second time the American Medical Asso-
citation will have met in this city, the first
session ever held here having been twenty
three years ago in 1871. This session is
still remem bered by many of the older
resident practitioners, and often referred
to as a memorable convention.
DR.. r. II. Plummer, chairman of the
committee of arrangements for The con-
gress. was q very busy man. Two trains
were expected TO arrive on Saturday, but
they did not come, the reason being delays
on the road.
Yesterday DR.. Plummer received numer-
Gus kilograms from various points, on the
central, northern and sOutl ern trans
continental routes, and learned that the
Eastern delegations will arrive today.
The train containing Secretary w. b.

Ogden. while the one having on board
President j. +. Hibbard of Richmond,
Ind, was located near Moiave on the

All the meetings of the congress will be
held at Odd Fellows Hall. The conven-
tiOn will last four days. Among the East
ern members will be SurgeOn-General of

character OF the attending members and
their wide scientific regulations it can be
seen that the papers TO be read and dis
cuSsed will be of great ability and value.

vanced science of medicine and surgery
