The MEDICAL SOCIETY. The largest
meeting of the Alexandria Medical So.
ciety, which has been held for years,
assembled last evening at the Office of
it's president, DR.. William Gibson, to
take appropriate action upon the death
of DR.. Bedford Brown. A committee,
consisting of DR.. Hugh Mcclure, chair.
man, and Drs. Geo. It. Klipstein, W..
r. Puryis and William Gibson, was ap-
pointed to draw up suitable resolutions
and the following we're submitted and
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the members Of the Alex
andria Medical Society have heard with deep
regret of the death of DR.. BEDFORD BROWN,
and desire &c put on record their feelings OF
admiration and affection Cor their late friend
and colleague No tribute to his memory cen,
however, be as great as that shown by the
universal sorrow with which the news of his
death has been received. The purity of his
character, the beauty Of his disposition, his
attachments as q scholar, his profound know.
edge of his profession, his ability as writer
and the elevated plane upon which he acted
in all the relations of life are too well appre'
ciated to require comment The society
recognizes in him the highest type and e1.
empIar of the physician, of the citizen and OF
the man. DR.. Browns death has caused loss
10 the medical profession of the entire South
whose magnitude no words can express. His
family in their great affection will receive
the heartfelt sympathy Of his patients and
friends, whose sorrow is only second to their
own.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of the Society; that copy
be seut to the faulty of the deceased, and
that they be published in the local papers and
in the Virginia Medical Semi.Monthly.
