O. Williams, La Femme" A little hui
morous badinage between the toast
master, DR.. w. C. Newell, president OF
the society, and DR.. Williams. served
as an introduction for the veteran
practitioner. IL such were at all nee

consumed, perhaps, q greater length Of
time than did any other toast Of the
evening.

leave, and desire for even more.
