various state examining boards and all
physicians and educators who are
friendly to the objects are invited to
participate IN the meetings of the con
federation
Then there is the Medical Editors
association and the Medical Publishers
association. The Association of Ameri-
can Medical Colleges is an important
branch. The national council is the ex-
ecutive board Of the main body.
All of these branches besides the p
sections Of the big association. will hold
meetings. Papers viii be read IN which
all sorts of ologies viii be discussed in
language which to the layman would be
mysterious. Such cheerful topics as the
spread of contagious diseases and the
use Of anRsthetics Will be discussed
with animation. The doctors will be
sure to get IN some good hard knocks at
the patent medicine men, with whom
they are always at war. and they viii
not fail, you may be sure, to pay their
respects to their Outlawed brethren and
ancient enemies, the quack doctors, who
are fond OF advertising and sensational
methods.
Another subject which is bound to be
brought up is the ever recurring one con-
corning proposed changes in the code Of
ethics. At almost every annual cOnven-
ton some leader Of q dissatisfied faction
has suggested changes in the constitu-
tion, but the doctors, although pro
gressive in matters pertaining to their
science, are conservative enough when
it comes to a question Of changing their
professional etiquette.
The president Of the American Med
zeal association is Dr. r. Beverly Cole
of San Francisco, veteran in the pro-
fessiOn and one Of the most prominent
physicians on the Pacific slope He is a
Virgiuian by birth and is Sc years old
He went to California many years ago,
and one of the first important positions
he held there was that Of official sur
geOn to the vigilance committee which
purified Frisco IN its early days. He
was one of the founders of Toland Med
ical academy which was later united
with the University Of California He
has also been prominent as a citizen Of
the state and has taken an active part
IN DCl tics Dr.. Cole Is q mem Der Of the
Royal College Of Surgeons Of London,
and was one Of the first Americans to
be so honored by that institution
Many Of the delegates to the coming
convention viii be accompanied by their
wives or other members Of their fam
lies or friends and VIII manage to
have not a little pleasure during their
stay in Atlanta Various excursions
have been arranged as well as numerous
social affairs. Among other features
which the entertainment committee has
planned viii be a huge outdoor barbe-
cue, at which the nedicos viii assist in
the dissection and ultimate disposal Of
a huge OK roasted to a turn

annually in May or June in various
cities. Tt is composed Of permane emit
mem bers, who have served as delegates
from their state or county associations
OF who have become such by applica-
ton. Fhis class Of members have no
vote in the annual sessions, but to them
are extended all other privileges. The
delegates proper are sent by the state,
county or district medical associ ations,

bers.
The general purposes Of the associa-
ton are to promote a better under
standing among the medical fraternity,
to encourage the collection and diffu-
sion of valuable information and to en-
large the general scope Of the medical
and surgical sciences. The association is
the general head of a number of
branches, some Of which have grown to
immense proportions. 1t is also divided
into 10 sections. which are organized
for research into particular fields of sci
ence. AT the annual sessions the mem
bers Of each of these branches and sec
tions hold separate meetings.
Next to the main body the American
Academy Of Medicine is first in impor-
lance. 1t has very large mem ership,
