Two Cases of Eclampsia, J. f. Penn
Der, Evansville; discussion by C. A.
Harper, Madison, and J.. NJ Evans, Jr.,
Evansville.
Yesterdays session of the Central
Medical society was notably success
ful meeting in many ways. About
hfty physicians from Madison and
cities roundabout were present, and
many able papers were read. Inter-
estlng discussions generally followed
the reading of the papers in which
many participated. At the morning
session DR.. J. e. Allaben of Rockford
addressed the society on the subject
Oh the Treatment of Ovarian Cysts by
lnclslon and Drainage. 1t was an I'M
usually strong treatment Of the sub
Ject and gave evidence of much origi-
nal study on the part of the speaker.
Dr. J. A. Mack presented a good paper
on New Therapeutics, affording many
points OF interesting and important in
formation to physicians. Some Prac-
tlcal Points in the Treatment of Ocular
affections, was the subject of a very
practical paper by DR.. F. H. Edsall of
this city, and the doctor spoke as only
one who has given the subject long
and earnest study could speak. DR..
W. H. Washburn OF Milwaukee
brought out much valuable informa-
ton IN his paper on Emphysema of
the lungs, and DR.. J. A. Jackson of
Madison gave able treatment to The
subject of The Present Status Of
Blood Examinations in Medicine and
Surgery. 1t appears from the doctors
talk that the study Of the blood in it's
relations to general physical condi-
tons, is one of the most fascinating
fields for original research open to the
physician, and one of the most import
ant in it's possibilities. DR.. Edward
Evans of La Crosse gave an interest
ing report of two cases of Actinomv-
COSTS, and an interesting discussion
followed.
AT 1:45 the doctors got together at
the Park hotel, where a banquet was
enjoyed, and an hour or two spent for
the good OF the order in a fraternal
way. Short addresses were here given
on medical education by. DR.. w. H.
Washburn of Milwaukee; on medical
etiquette by DR., J. B. Whiting of
GAINESVILLE; and on medical success by
J I1oh 0f y
A jackson of the city presided at the
banquet.
The afternoon session opened at A
o'clock, with paper on Some Re-
marks on Anemia, by DR.. J. M. Evans
OF Evansville. His treatment of blood
disorders that are more or less gen
orally prevalent, was thorough and
satisfactory. The doctor urged the use
OF less medicine and better hygienic
measures in dealing with diseases
arising from poverty of the blood as
well as with others. Dr. Jackson fol-
lowed with the conclusion Of his ad-
dress, begun at the morning session,
on the subject of Blood Examinations.
The doctor is a close student in his
chosen line of work, an able speaker.
and his views were forcibly given. An
active discussion followed by Drs,
H. L. Russell and w. S. Miller of
the university. DIR. J. f.
Pember of GAINESVILLE concluded
the afternoon session with a report Of
two asses of eclampsia. Prolonged dis
cussion followed the report giving
many and varied opinions on the SUBJ
ject which at present seems to be but
little understood. Altogether this
meeting was one of the most, If not the
most successful the society has yet
had. Those present were Drs. w. C.
