Clarke, of Scranton. on Hygiene in
Schools" was not read, owing to the
late hour and was at her request re-
ferred TO the publication committee.
The annual address of the president
was made in the evening" beginning at

smoker after which the gentlemen
went to the home of DR.. and Mrs. F.
ID. Brewster, at $50 Washington ave-

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
DIR. Miller's address was heard by
the largest gathering of the day 1t
was q very able effort and particularly
homeopathic, in that he urged the
principals of the new school for every
thing that had to do with the medical
practices of his hearers. Vaccination
he termed brutal barbarous and un-
constitutional and declared that urgent
effort should be made to have Penn
sylvania discard it's use, as had been
done in several states. The session
closed with several programme an
nouncements by DR.. Ware.
During the Smoker" period, DR..
Charles Mohr, professor of materla
medica at the Hahneman hospital,
talked in relation to the Scranton
homeopathic hosptai movement. He
suggested that the governing board be
composed exclusively of lay men and
women, who should be responsible for
the business management of the insti-
tuition, and that physicians and sur
geons should be wholly responsible for
the medical and surgical management.
State aid, he said, would be more
easily secured if the hospital organ
ization owns it's buildings and grounds,
whether encumbered or not. 1t was
imperative, he stated, that the medi-
cal department be homeopathic in
every detail.
HYPNOTIC EXHIBITION.
An hypnotic exhibition was given by
Drs. j. w. Hassler and w. bod Bay
ley, both of Philadelphia. Their sub
ject was Harry L. DIETRICH, employed
in Morris saloon, corner of Penn ave-
nue. and Spruce street, the young man
who was etherized by DR.. Hassler in
the latter's anaesthesian illustration
during the afternoon. DIETRICH is the
subject who was with the Sages when
they first visited Scranton, and he is
the individual who slept for forty
eight hours in q Wyoming avenue show
window.
DR.. Hassler performed the muscular
influences and DIR. Bayley the mental
Either the subject was very suscept-
ible or DR.. Bayley was unusually eX-
pert, as the entertainment and instruc-
ton furnished was much better than
that presented by the Sages. Though
| the audience was q critical one, most
pronounced hypnotic tests were made.
Both DR.. Bayley and DR.. Hassler's
work was remarkably good
At the ladies' reception Mrs. Brew
ster was assisted in receiving and serv-
| ing a dainty lunch by DR.. Anna G.
Clark, Mrs. II. b. Ware, Mrs. c. o.
