Medical association at the Camtelc
hotel Monday evening. II was the
largest by half and the most enjoy
able and entertaining of any OF the
three similar events in years past
The repast was excellent and equal
to the bes, efforts of Caterer Hall. OF
Greeley's popular hostelry- Al
though advertised for 1880, il was
almost 9 p. N. when the doors were
thrown open and the guests seated.
The dining room was arranged for
the occasion. and the tables in three
long rows were decked with chrys-
anthemums.
DR.. c. B. Dyde was toastmaster.
and his Wit tended much toward the
hilarity OF the occasion He had
some story or pun for each introduc-
ton, and the speakers could not but
fall into the same strain.
DR.. Melville Black, president OF
the Colorado State Medical society,
vas first on the program and gave
his ideas of the object and methods
OF both state and county orsaniza-
tions. Dr. Black has attended ev-
cry banquet of the local association
and congratulated the fraternity on
. comparison of their first and
fourth banquets. and the advisable
ity of drawing thither as many of
the laity as possible. The medical
associations are not merely trades
unions TO keep up the price, but are
instituted for the social and intel
lectual advancement of the doctor
and the benefit of the public.
He called upon all doctors TO lend
their influence toward the establish
ment OF natinoal bureau of health,
with a cabinet officer for its head.
At the present time the state of Col
orado appropriates but $1,000 a
year for the public health. when
there should be ten times that
amount A hundred thousand dol
lars is spent to protect the deer and
elk from bullets and a stingy little
fve thousand to prevent the killing
of our people with germs. The laity
cannot understand why the doctors
are so strenuous in the prevention of
disease, and do not give them credit
for sincerity in their effort to kill
the golden goose DR.. Black said
many other things and dwelt upon
the duty of the individual members
Of the society toward each other.
Dr.. Graham.
DR.. Graham of Greeley told Of the
physicians life. his small recon-
pence, long hours. etc. The life OF
the average doctor is only one-hal!
as long as that of the lawyer. and
his longevity is about one-fourth
that of the minister. In olden times
the physician was also the priest
and worked for charity, and many
of the people seem to have forgot
ten that we have outgrown thoss
times.
| Senator Carpenter.
The Attorney" was the theme al
lotted to Senator-elect Carpenter
and he paralleled the medics ant
the barristers to the great advantag,
of the legal profession. The mis-
takes Of the doctors were placed un
derground, but any errors OF thu
lawyer stood out upon the records
for ages after.
H. G. Garwood.
DR.. Garwood was to speak O
THE Obstetrician." but did not sticl
to his text. He recognized severa
old college chums present, anon,
whom were Attorney Hatch, Judg
Southard and Judge Nixon. He sal,
ii he had known they we're to listel
to his speech he would have re
mained at home and sent the excus
that Tommy Mulligan sent hi
teacher. After playing hockey
Tommy presented his teacher Wit
an ink-stained billet saying:
Teacher please excuse Tommy h
couldent come l tore my pants"
! DR.. J. NJ. Hall.
DR.. ]. NJ. Hall spoke of medecin
abroad. and DR.. I. B. Perkins of sur
gerry abroad. DR.. Hall was one o
the first men to practice in We'll
county. being located at Sterlin
wheA that town was a part OF thi
county. DR.. Perkins was also a
early settler. and remembered whe
DR.. Hall came to Colorado, and toll
the story about the latter getting
job herding sheep and how he mis-
took the jack rabbits for youn
lambs. Both gentlemen told of thei

pared surgery and physics abroa
with the vocation at home.
Their conclusions were that tn
doctors abroad write the plays bu
the American physician and SUI
geon puts them upon the stage. TIL
treatment of patients in the oil
country cannot compare with tina
of this country. Both men tol
funny stories about the professio
and also impaired much valuable in
formation.
DR.. Sol Kahn of Leadville spok
for q very few minutes upon POL
tics in Medicine" and referred t
the physician as always helping tn
other fellow rather than himself /
