| we'll as eminent specialists who were
not teachers in medical schools. He

come to us in an educational way as
had grown out of our frequently
meeting each other and discussing
| those medical questions. He pointed
out the many improvements which
had come to us as profession
through the medium of the society

come each individual member bear
his share of the responsibility of
making the work of the society a
grand success.
DR.. A. p. Olmacher, OF Detroit, was
to have been present with paper on
Opsonic Therapy, but owing to the
fact of not being able to get back the
same night and having serious work
on hand for the morrow, he had to
disappont the meeting On request
Of the president Dr. Mccormick read
an address of Olmacher's delivered
in Columbus, Ohio, on the value of
opionic treatment.
This is new method of treating
microbic diseases and DR.. Olmacher
is the greatest specialist along this
line in the United States. He learn
ed the system from DR.. Wright, of
England, and has certainly produced
some wonderful results and has sue
ceeded in making cures in many
cases of both acute and chronic dis
eases which would otherwise be in
durable. He takes the germ which
produces the disease, cultivates it
and from it makes a serum, which,
being injected hypodermically en-
ables the system to overcome the dis
ease. This treatment applies to a
vast variety of diseases and he is often
called in consultation by the best
physicians and surgeons of the state.

Her heart beneath is light,
But throbs in sympathy with pain
And others sorrows feels again"
