The closing session Of the State
Medical Society was held in Masonic
hall Thursday afternoon, but along
toward the latter part the ranks
commenced to thin out by the de-
parture of the physicians for their
homes in the north part Of the state.
The fore part of the afternoon was
taken up by reading several papers,
among which was that of DR.. e. T.
Ramsey, of Clark, whose subject was
"Perforation in Typhoid Fever" DR..
N. S. Smith, Of Marion Junction,
spoke on popular subject among men
and DR.. E. B. Taylor read paper on
'"The Eye from the Viewpoint of the
General Practitioner. The papers
received the attention Of the physi-
clans by general discussion.
In the latter part of the afternoon
occurred the election of officers with
the following result: President, DR..
B. a. Bobb, of Mitchell; vice presi-
dent, Or. G. B. Mallory, Of A berdeen =;
secretary-treasurer, DR.. J.. L. Stew
art, OF Irene He was reelected to
the position.
Redfeld was the choice of the con-
vention for the annual meeting in
1904. Most of the sessions have been
held in the southern part of the state
and there was general desire to 60
north once.
One Of the most important matters
transacted at the last session was the
adoption of the reorganization plan
Of the American Medical Association.
The state was divided into nine dis
tricts to correspond with the counties
in the nine judicial circuits. Auxil-
iary societies will he formed within
short time and meetings will be held
each year. This maintains the inter-
est in the localities and it is claimed
that the society maintains a much
better feeling Of fraternity among the
physicians.
