THEIR SESSION
DR.. Huntington Of Oak
land Chosen New President
of the Coast Association

The third annual convention of the Pa
ciflc Coast Association of Railway Sur
geons was brought to a close at the st.
Francis Hotel yesterday afternoon, when
the organization elected officers for the
coming year DR.. Thomas w. Hunting
ton of Oakland was elected president; DR..
T. c. McCleave Of Berkeley. first vice
president; DR.. w. o. Spencer of Hunt
ington, Or, second vice president: DR..
John P. Dunn of Oakland, secretary, and
DR.. Frank L. Adams of Oakland, treas
urer. One of the interesting subjects dis
cussed at the convention Thursday and
greatly talked of yesterday was a paper
read by DR.. w. B. Coffey of this city en-
titled Multiple Tumors of the Brain
Operation and Recovery" In this paper
DR.. Coffey dealt with a recent personal
experience at the Southern Pacific Hos
pital, where he operated upon a patient
and removed three tumors from his brain.
1t was one of the few cases in surgical
history where the patient fully recovered.
In the absence of any symptoms to de-
termine that tumors existed DR.. Coffey
found on exploring the brain that pres
sure on the nerve trunk was produced
by a foreign growth, and he promptly
undertook the difficult operation, with
the success already stated. From a sur
gical standpoint the operation is regard
ed as a very important one and has at
tracted attention all over the country.
At yesterdays session DR.. George w.
Carson read a paper on typhoid fever
and made many valuable suggestions for
the detection of the disease in railroad
camps and means for preventing its de-
velopment-
DR.. ]. H. OConnor gave some interest
ing information upon the prevention Of
cancer of the stomach by surgical treat
ment of ulcerous affections, and he also
related a case where an opening between
the stomach and intestines was made for
the sidetracking of diseased portions of
the stomach and allowing food to pass
through another source. While of the
opinion that ulcers are materially respon-
sible for cancers, he was also of the opin-
that that cancers are durable if properly
treated.
Last night the visiting surgeons enjoyed
a smoker at the st. Francis Hotel as a
concluding incident Of their interesting
meeting here.
