The Polk County Medical Society.

The Polk County Medical Soci- ety met in regular session on the evening of the 9th inst, with Dr. J. K. Davis, the vice president, presiding, and the result was another meeting full of excellent endeavors along line which IS truly post graduate work to every member of the society, and to all visiting doctors as well.
 It is pleasant to note that no rivalries, no dissensions, are found to exist among the good doctors of this society. Under the good administrations of Dr. Parks, aided by Dr. Davis, the distrust and the jealousies that have so long existed between the doctors ot Mena, to their own detri. meut and discomfort, are being converted into warm professioul al friendships that will height. en and broaden the professional abilities and regulations of the members. The doctors compos. ing this society seemingly realize that differences of opinions on medical subjects should have no tendency to dissolve friendships or awaken rivalrous gossip among the physicians, and any one doubting the good of this County Medical Society should have been present on last Saturday evening.
 Dr. lizards paper on Malaria and It's Complications" and pr. Hoge's paper on "Bacteriology and the Serum Treatments, {" were worthy of d place in any medical journal, and the discus. slons afterwards brought out on those two subjects by Dr. Parks and others were instructive and eddyiylng to any progressive physician. Listening 10 tn, SC made one feel proud of Dr. Izard as a citizen and as a physician, and doubly glad 10 know that Dr. Hoge was Mena boy.
 Let every doctor come and ioin this society and help to push good thing along.
