APPENDICITIS TALK.
This Subject Diseased BY the ledical
Society Yesterday.
FEMALE MEMBERSHIP MATTER.
Surprise ut wytheville That Any
Dissatisfacticn should Have Been
Expressed mt the society's Action
in the Case of Mrs. RunyOn.

wYTHEvILLE, VA, September g.
(special)-Dr. Paulus A. Irving. Of Rich
mond. opened the morning session Of the
Medical Society with paper on puer-
peral sepsis. In the discussion following
Drs. Moore and Hodge easily bore on
the honors.
DR.. Hunter Mcclure followed with
report upon seventeen operative cases Of
chronic or relapsing appendicitis, with
one death. In his remarks commenting
upon the report Or. MCGUIRE said he was
convinced that this operation Should not
be performed SO quickly as is recon-
mended by most surgeons. He said that
In all cases he had ever operated upon
and they were many, he had never found
single grape. cherry. or tomato seed'
and he was glad to mention this fact to
set the lay mind at ease.
SURGICAL OPERATIONS.
DR.. James Herbert Claiborne, OF Peters
burg, stated that In a practice OF forty
five years he had seen but twelve cases
of appendicitis, and not one was opera
ted upon or died. He Is old-fashioned
enough to believe In leeches and poul-
tees.
To show the dread OF appendicitis in the
lay mind, he cited the case of a patient to
whom he was called, and who was posi-
tive that he had the disease. The doc
tor, however, succeeded In quieting him
by assuring him that appendicitis did
not occur on the left side.
DIR. Moore, who twice to-day held the
attention of the society by his oratorical
powers, said that he was decided In OPP
position to hurried operations In cases of
appendicitis. He advocated going slowly.
NEW OFFICERS.
The officers for the ensuing year were
installed this afternoon.
DIR. Preston, with the most graceful
remarks, presented the insignia OF Of
fee to DR.. Robinson, who said he would
endeavor TO wear in an honorable man.
ner the mantle descended upon him from
his predecessor.
Dr. George Tucker Harrison. OF New
York, nonresident honorary fellow, and
DR.. ]. Allison Hodges, Of Richmond. read
papers.
SURPRISED.
The statement In the Richmond papers
that the action OF the society In electing
a woman to membership had created sur
prise there gave rise to considerable sur
prise here, for the opposition which was
strong, scarcely exerted itself Besides,
most physicians who have since arrived
here have expressed themselves as salts
fed with the societys action.
The society adjourned sine die at
o'clock.
THE BANQUET.
At the banquet tonight, DR.. John Her

master. The toasts and those who SPOKE
