of Montpelier. One ofthe most interest
ing papers given, was that upon "Ori-
fetal Surgery" by DR.. |. A. Phillips of
Boston, describing the great advance
made in this particular line and offer
ing many suggestions which provoked
much valuable discussion. Other papers
also ably discussed were, "Study Pull
satilla,o by DR.. S. S. Martin of Hard
wick; "Typhoid Fever Epidemic at
Windsor" by DR.. G. P. Holden of
Windsor. This latter was a particular
~ appropriate paper, since it covered
the best of recent opportunities to study
typhoid fever, as there were over 100
cases at the same time, which gave a
better chance to observe the effect of
different treatment than is usually the
case. DIR. l. H. Fiske of Montpelier
read paper on Sanitary Science" adj
vancing theory to prevent the spread
of disease through air.
The annual address by the retiring
president, DR.. III. S. Boardman of Mont
pelier, was a thoughtful and interest
ing paper. Dr. Boardman believes that
the coming physician must pay more
attention to sanitary science and that
it is along the lines of preventive medi-
cine that the great work of the future
must be done. DIR. Boardman also spoke
of the subject ofmedical legislation and
thinks that no effort should be spared
to defeat all legislation which does not
give equal rights to all schools.
Two new men were admitted to
bership-Charles N Denison, M.
d., of White River Junction, and War
rem r.. Putnam, M. d., of Bennington.
The number of physicians present was
the largest on record This, with
the number and excellence of the pa
pers presented, rendered the meeting
one of the most profitable ever held.
The next semi-annual meeting will be
held at Rutland i'm October.
