not been an early removal of tlnrld .u-

not been an early removal of fibrid tu-
 mors.
 | Dr. Browns methods of removal were given in all stages of the operation as
 were also the methods that apply for
 all pelvic surgery.
 The operation through the abdomi-
 nal route was recommended by pr.
 Brown, who quoted statistics showing | the approach of this method. The dan
 gers of complications in the abdominal
 route weigh against 1t. however, and | whether 1t should be used is depend
 ent upon the individualities of cases. l Dr. J. A. Goggans of Alexander City discussed the paper from the stand point of the routes by which the oper- | ations for the removal of f1broid tu- | mors are performed.
 Dr. Jackson of Mobile told of his visit to the clinic of Dr. Brown in New York where he saw his methods In comparison with those of eminent sur geons abroad. European methods tend
 to the vagina route for removal of my | omata whereas the abdominal route is purely American.
 pr. Jackson counseled letting small
 myomata alone until they reach dan gerous size.
 Dr. Morris of Birmingham said he believed the attacks ot tumors depend for the choice route upon the con- sciousness of the surgeon as to his own ability and skill.
 Dr. Brown closed the discussion by telling of few complications of the intestines through operations for my omata.
 The part of volunteer papers was here entered. the first being one on Some Observations as to the Causes and Treatment of Puerperal Infection" by pr. Edward M. Prince of Coleanor. Dr. Prince told of the various dan- gers of infection which are so deplor- ably disregarded by even modern phy-
 sicians. Auto-infection was named by pr. Prince as a common result.
 The paper was discussed by Drs. W. W. Harper, W. M. Jordan, T. A. Cas-
 ey, Morris. Carson and Williamson, all
 of whom enjoined cleanliness and care and the repair of raw surfaces. pr. GOOde of Mobile. pr. Rhett Goode, of Mobile, followed
 with paper on. "Gangrene of the Lower Extremity Caused by Arterial Thrombosis" He recited the details | of three cases of gangrene of unusual interest that have come under his ob- servation. The series of symptoms and discoloratfons were told of in de- tail. Amputations were performed in two of the cases. The uniform symp- toms described by pr. Goode were first, pain; second, coldness of the af-
 fected member and gangrene proper or death of the tissues. Tissue death in gangrene is very similar to the phe- nomena in other cases. Organized clotting of the blood Is one of the symptoms.
 Wet gangrene was described by pr. Goode. The disintegration of blood
 corpuscles resulting in the coagula-

told him more about the discoveries of MT. Matas than he (Dr. Jackson) had read himself.
 pr. Jackson gave a series of criti- clsms on suturing arteries. He re- lated some of the methods of severinC arteries and restoration of the lumen. Precautions to be used in accidental and intentional surgery relative to ar teries were given.
 pr. Henry D. Furniss of New York delivered his lecture on "Cystoscopy and Ureteral Catherization in Gynae- cology." He illustrated a few patents or cystoscope now in use.
 The frequency and cause of bladder troubles both in males and females were discussed by Dr. Furniss, the dis eases occurring in the former oftener. In diagnosing the bladder ailment he said thorough history of the case should be sought. Sometimes 1t is traceable to kidney affection.
 A thorough examination of the urine mlcroscopically. chemically and bacte- riologlcally, was advised. Numerous methods of examination and the Instru- ments used were given by Dr. Furniss. He related several diagnoses made by him with the cystoscope, which were impossible before the introduction of that instrument. The general breadth Ot uso oi the cSstoScope Tn the diag~ nosis of cystetis was given by Dr. Fur miss.
 It is possible with the instrument to diagnose complications of organs close ly related to the urinary organs.
 pr. Furniss told of the value cf catherizing in treating kidneys and hladders. The various symptoms of Kidney and bladder troubles were given by pr. Furniss.
 The value of irrigating the pelves of the kidney was told of in treating Bright's disease.
 Dr. L. c. Morris of Birmingham dis cussed the paper. He said the cysto- scope has reduced the treatment and diagnosis of bladder troubles to a del- lcate science. The dangers of ureteraI catherization were rehearsed by pr. Morris The use of the catheter in treating inhammatory kidneys was re- commended by Dr. Morris.
 pr. S. G. Gay of Selma in discussing the paper characterized it as the most useful to the general practitioner that mas been delivered at the meeting He discussed in general the uses of the cystoscopy
 ADplaus for pr. Brown.
 Amid applause Dr. LeRoy Brown of New York, son of the late Dr, William LeRoy Brown, President of the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute, was intro duced His paper on The Choice of Methods in Removing Uterine Fibro- hyomata' was an interesting essay.
 Dr. Brown told of the progress of fbrid tumor growths in the uterus and the changes they undergo. He coun- seled the early removal of cysts as soon as discovered. He regretted pro crastination of physicians on this score. The mortality list with individual sur geons is about l per cent. and in the aggregate per cent.
 Statistics were produced by Dr. Brown showing the number of deaths that WQAld likely have resulted had there

The meeting of the Association was called to order at 8 o'clock by Presi- dent Jones.
 pr. D. l.. Wilkinson, of Monteval1o introduced a number of resolutions calculated to insure better health and hygiene in the public schools of the State.
 Light and Hearing of Children.
 The following resolution was in troduced and sent to the Board of Censors for report at this meeting:
 Whereas, a resolution was adopted at the las meeting of the Medical As- sociatiop of the State of Alabama recommending that County Superinten- dents of Education and teachers gen orally in this State are earnestly ad- vised to adopt measures for having the eyes and ears of the children under their care thoroughly examined, and whereas the subject is one of vital inn portance. therefore be it
 Resolved by the Medical Association of the State of Alabama, That a com mittee of five, composed of competent occulists and aurfsts in this State be selected by the President of the Asso- citation to confer with the State Super intendent of Education with the view of formulating and adopting a plan or plans for the instruction of teachers in the methods of the ready detection of gross defects of sight and hearing.
 Be 1t further resolved, That upon the detection of such defects the teachers of Alabama are hereby earn estly requested to immediately call the child's parents or guardians attention to the defect with the request that the

Continuing the discussions of the paper of Dr. Hogan on The Contract Doctor" Drs. LeGrande of Birming- ham, w. F. Black of Sayreton, and J |. D. Trammell of Bay Minette took op- posite sides of the question. Dr. LeGrande opposed the contract | system on the ground of ethics. He | believed 1t retards the advances of medical science and ought to be abol- | ished
 He was vigorously opposed by Drs Trammell and Black. who regarded the system as absolutely necessary to solve the requirements of mining camps and other commercial mobilizations of laborers. They did not believe the sys- tenn is degrading, and regretted that any opposition was raised on this oc- casiOn.
 Alcohol as a Medicine,
 A short and interesting talk was giv- en by Dr. Edward H. ShoI of Birming- ham, on Alcohol as a Medicine" He said that there are virtues in whiskey forming a part of some prescriptions and Is thoroughly justif1able if the al- coholic use Is brought under the con servative pathological conditions.
 He cited two cases of alcohol as a panacea in typhoid fever
 He was heartily endorsed by Dr. Will Hanson on all the points he put forth but on the use of alcohol in typhoid cases he was stoutly opposed by Dr. J. R. c. Howell of Dothan.
 Dr. Sholl defended the alcoholic rem edy in typhoid fever and pneumonia, as it gives that heat force necessary to combat the toxine of the system.
 pr. Robert N. Pitts of Montgomerv. next delivered his paper on The Pres ent Status of Gall-Bladder Surgery"
 Dr. Pitts told of the serious doubt as to whether the gall bladder is the result of infection or whether the gall bladder leaves field for infectious play.
 The pathological conditions of eoI1 bladder were related by Dr. Pitts at length. He told of the difficulties Of diagnoses and some of the symptoms. He said surgeons should not wait un- til jaundice appears before active pro- cedure.
 JaundIce as a Symptom.
 Jaundice is grave symptom of gall bladder and the latter is often caused by indigestion.
 The intricate differences between gall bladder and jaundice were given by pr. Pitts who said that the latter Is caused by a blockage of the gall ducts accompanied by a contraction of the bladder
 Tumors of the bladder were referred to by Dr. Pitts briefly
 The methods of Urea ting gall blad- ders were told by Dr. Pitts who re- viewed the history of operative treat ment. The first operation was per formed in 1918, Some instructions of suterring and drainage were given by the essayist. All the stages ot the operation as performed by Dr. Pitts were gone over in detail.
 Dr. George S. Brown discussed the subject briefly in OnRaff0ns of

tion of the blood was dealt with by Dr. Goode. The various causes and | favorable con Ttions for gangrene were given including malaria, syphilis and pregnancy.
 The stage at which amputation is necessary was given by Dr. Goode. Dr. Jackson, of Mobile, followed the symptoms of gangrene and the points when amputation should be made. pr. Goode denied the statement of Dr. Jackson that the line of demarca- tion should be waited for before op- eration Is begun, caying there are of ten previous marked and well estab- lished symptoms to warrant operative measures.
 Dr. Albert G. Douglas, of Birming- ham, gave an interesting paper on ''Syhpilis." Statistics were quoted showing that one-sixth of the Chris tianized world is syphillitic. The hor- rible stories of brutal marriages when infected with this disease were told by Dr. Douglas.
 The varieties of sores caused by this disease were named by Dr. Douglas and described.
 pr. George A. Hogan. of Bessemer, gave paper on The Contract Doc tor" The regular doctors in contract work were told of. Some of them col lect more or less than doctors stop pages. Work in coal mining camps in Birmingham was discussed. The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company has hospitals at two points in North Alabama They are thor oughly equipped with white and col ored wards and there are all facili- ties for arseptic purposes.
 The company collects seventy-five cents per month from every employe of the company for hospital services. the amounts being turned over to payment of expenses of the hospital and compensation of the doctors.
 Dr. Hogan Vindicated the work of the contract doctor as being efficient as rule. He is compelled to practice all departments of medical science and is robbed of the privilege of special izing.
 Numerous instructions in ethics for contract practice were given by Dr. Hogan, who advised against objecting 10 outside interference too seriously.
 pr. J. U. Ray. of Woodstock. re- viewed the conditions of contract practice twenty-five years ago when, on account of the unwise management, 1t came near disrupting the Medical Association
 The several abuses of contract sys- tenn including gratituitous treatment or certain employees of companies dis eliminating against o.hers. The con tract system is absolutely necessary in the mineral district, he said
 The temptation of young graduates to go into contract work is too great these days
 Dr. R. M. Cunningham, of Ensley, one of the pioneers of the contract system, spoke of the system he has practiced where he owns his own hos- pltaL He insisted on giving first class attention in all cases He e. lleVed there is little charity practice necessary and is essential.
 The Association at 12:l5 o'clock ad- Journed until o'clock at night.
 The members gathered for the trip to the union station where the train was taken to Jaekson's Lake and the barbecue.

Af- ter the elaborate dinner had been serv- ed, consisting of the good old-time bar becued variety of meats. the custom ary form of amusement>of the Associ- ation was sought.
 A humorous mock trial was con- cocted. Illustrating the size of the court, Judge T. Scott Sayre was only one of the witnesses.
 Dr. LeGrande in some unaccountable way found himself judge of the court. The mob decided that there should be a trial by half-jury. Six jurymen were found and after much challenging were seated on benches in the pavilion where the august proceedings were held.
 Dr. William H. Sanders, State Health Officer. for some reason seemed the most available defendant. He was charged in a lengthy indictment with malpractice of a serious nature" Drs. Cunningham and Sholl conducted re- spectively the prosecution and the de-

fense. Dr. Cunningham was suspicious Of all witnesses appearing before the court and amid much laughter tested the Ananias qualities of each, asking. Is your lying capacity sufficient to convict the defendant?" Answering in the affirmative the witness was ac- cepted by the State.
 The defense won out in a queer way. waiter handed each of the turymen glass of beer. They drank the beer and the foreman asked. ITO whom are we indebted for the suds?" Some one cried out. Counsel for the defense !" Whereupon the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
 Resolutions were introduced last night by Dr. Wilkinson of Montevallo calling for methods for improved san itation and more thorough knowledge of hygiene in the public schools of the State. State Superintendent of Educa- tion I. W. Hill was commended for his efforts to encourage more and better school buildings in the State.
