There were furtive looks of surprise
as one after another tasted the soup
1t had the appearance of beautiful
cream soup. But with the first spoon
full it was found to be delightfully."-
iced and nutmegged. 1t tickIed the
palate, however, in the way elixir vitae
should, and nearly every body. tipped the
soup plate a little to get the last spoon
full.
The fish was delicious Wand in
spite of its name an the Mistura Dia-
bola Indiana came on the table in
ramakins hot from the oven and hot
with delicious blending of eondi-
ments.
The Gallus preparatus of the menu
was jagged chicken with delightful
cream sauce and a suggestion of sage.
The Spiritus Vini Romanus, was our
old and familiar friend Roman punch,
but so excellently prepared as to seem
to have entered on new era of pros
perity. Unguentum Harlequinum, was
a delightful frogs leg salad garnish-
ed with lettuce. But who would know
Neapolitan ice cream under the name
of Ptomainae Neopolitanae?
Dr. Hodgins, the retiring president
0f ho
Judgment and vivacity. The toast list
a rule short, and for the most part
bodying forth the good-felIowship idea
of the occasion rather than the serious
aspects of the profession.
DR.. c. B. Cooper, in responding to
the toast the American Medical Asso-
ciation' recalled that four years ago
he had the honor to represent the Ha-
wall Association at the meeting of the
American Association, the first time
Hawaii had ever been represented In
that organization.
DR.. Waterhouse, responding for
" Surgery" said that while he had
been practicing here only seven or
eight years, retrospect would show
great changes in the practice of sur
gerry in the islands. AS striking as a,
change was this, that then people near
ly always went to the Coast for their
surgical operations, now they seldom
did Then the Queen s Hospital was
ill-ftted for surgical work, now it had
as good an operating room as there
is anywhere, good private rooms and
some good wards.
In introducing President Pinkham of
the Board of Health DIR. Hodgins said
that he was one of the best friends the
medical profession in Hawaii had. He
alluded jestingly to some of the mat |
tiers current in connection with the
Board of Health. In responding to
the introduction President Pinkham
said he was having lots of trouble |
just now. He had always known that |
the medical profession had lots of |
ethics but he was just learning how |
much ethics it had; and in crowdingI
the ethics of the profession down the
rhroats of the people of this Terri
tory, he was having lots of trouble.
Some people did not like his diplomacy,
but when it came to a showdown he
vas ready to back himself. He thought
the medical profession was slow in
lolding up its end, and he was helping
t whenever he could for he believed
he medical profession the broadcast
profession there is.
DIR. G. B. Wood responded to the
cast "Our PATIENTS just as he be-
san speaking, at a motion from DR..
Iodgins the attendants brought in a
skeleton, $50 that DR.. Wood would
AVE one of the patients to talk to-
Dr.. Wood said it was one of ''our
PATIENTS : not 3" one of mine. -
His speech was anecdotal and witty,
n which there was mixed a good deal
# keen wisdom.
Dr. Mcdonald responded happily tol
he toast the Ladies'. DIR. Hoffman,
;ept the table in a roar while he re-
ponded TO "Medicine - DR.. A. n.
sinclair gave some of the amusing ex-
he has met in his response
o the toast gu. S. Public Health and
Iarine Hospital Service DIR. Walter
'rinckerhoff in a serious and eloquent
Tay told of the Red Cross and the rela
ion of the medical profession to it.
nd Dr. j. T. Wayson, gave a noble
anegyric on "The Country Doctor"
The affair closed by DIR. Hodgins
banking the members of the associa-
ion for the support they had given
i'm during the year, and asking for the
