MEDICAL ASSOClA-
TION TN SESSION

The regular bi-monthly meeting of
tue Moptour County Medical associa.
tion was held at the State hospital
Friday afternoon. The meeting con-
vened at 3 p. M. with the following
members present: Meredith, Robbins.
Krickbaum, Nebinger, Newbaker. Pat
ten, Stock and Shultz.
DR.. Nebinger, of the hospital, was
elected delegate to the State medical
society which meets In Philadelphia
on September % Drs. Stock and Pat
ten were elected as alternates.
DR.. George A. Stock read a very in
teresting paper on tuberculosis pay
ing particular attention to the rela-
tions existing between patient and
physician. The paper in part was as
follows:
1t has been stated that the post
mortem table has never perhaps given
any more decided proof OF the cure of
disease than it gives in cases of pull
monary tuberculosis. Out Of five hun
dred autopsies at Professor Ribberts
institute in Surlch, wherein he found
over ninety.five per cent. tuhercu lar,
many Of whom were cured. No single
element in the cure, neither AIR, nor
food, nor hydrotherspy, nor medicine,
affords any guarantee of success; it is
only the satisfaction of all the ply
siological and hygienic demands of the
organism, from the greatest to the least
significant. that can bring about this
result 1t is of paramount Importance

fact. The nature of consumption Is
such that we can hardly expect an i'm
provement in few days or even
weeks. Success depends on unceasing
patience and the ability to minimize
the import of temporary discourage
ment. There is hardly a disease in
which the personality of physician and
patient is so important factor as in
pulmonary tuberculosis. Sympathy on
the part of the physician and implicit
obedience on the part OF the patient
are necessary. The latter, by virtue
of his disease has little energy and
needs the strong support of the ply
sician. Frivolity must be met with
severity; dispondency by encourage
ment; ingorance by everlasting in
struction and patience
With it all the CO operation of the
patient is necessary. To affect this the

COMPLAIN THAT FISH

In u talk with Frank Ross, the vet.
eran fisherman of this city yesterday.
Mr.. hoss expressed the opinion that
there are at the present time more and
larger fish in the Susquehanua at this
point than there has been at any pre-
vious time in his experience. The riv.
er, t'e said, was just teeming with
tneGi, bass, pickereI, salmon, carp and
what not. He also stated that to his
knowl' dge never were fewer fish being
caught than now. The big fellows and
some are monstrous. don't seem to take
