DR. JOYCE OF OGDEN.
little diversion was afforded the
medicOs at the morning session by the
reading of bit of correspondence from
DR.. Joyce of Ogden. DR.. Joyce wrote
that he failed to see why he should
continue to pay his dues to support the
Salt Lake City" Medical society, and
he expressed regret that there was no
state society. Every member of the
society wanted the floor at once to ex-
press his displeasure at the Ogden
doctors unkind cut When il was
called to mind that Dr. Perkins, one "a
the society's founders. the first vice
president and the second vice president,
was a representative Ogden medico, the
members expressed the belief that Dr.
Joyce had no cause to charge that his
locality had been Disseminated against.
From sentiments expressed at the
meeting it is very likely that DR.. Joyce
will not be permitted TO withdraw
from the association. but will be eX-
PEELED. Ogden will be represented at
tOday's session, but not by DR.. Joyce,
who has succeeded in mourning the
wrath of his former professional asso-
ciates so far that he would hardly be
permitted to affiliate with the state So
ciety now. even if he desired to.
The society's objects are the associa-
ton of the medical profession on a ba-
sis of good fellowship. the maintenance
of harmony and good government
among its members, the cultivation of
medical science and literature and the
elevation of the standard of medical
education.
