APSlI "leiOeIS OF lne KnlIe and
saw, competent administrators of the
pink pill and pulverized powder, regu-
lar practitioners and high priced spe-
cialists; in fact, all sorts and condi-
tions of doctors, all of them good
ones, are the guests of Las Vegas this
evening. Every incoming train TODAY
brought its quota of medics who had
come to attend the thirtieth annual
meeting of the New Mexico Medical
society, which began this afternoon
and will continue until Saturday even
ing.
The delegates were met at the train
by committee of Las Vegas physi-
clans and were made to feel that Las
Vegas was glad to welcome them and
would do everything possible to make
their stay a comfortable as well as
a pleasureable and profitable one.
With SO many physicians in the city
there is little reason for sickness to |
prevail during the remainder of this
week. Should a person fall i'll there
will be over 100 doctors to feel his
pulse, look at his tongue and tell him
what is the matter with him. One
hundred physicians will select the
best of 100 lines of treatment and
there is no reason to believe the pa
tient will not recover. The under
takers of the city have decided to so
fishing, it is said. They are not ex-
pected to return before Sunday morn
ing.
Registration of delegates and few
formalities were looked after this aft
ernoon. A meeting of the council and |
the board of delegates was also held |
in the Commercial club rooms. The |
main opening event of the meeting |
will be held tonight, however.
This will occur in the Normal and |
the public is invited to be present
Addresses of welcome will be made
and the delegates will be assured that |
their presence in the city is as
warmly appreciated by the laity as
by the resident members of the medi- |
cal profession. A most interesting

ing will be the address by DR.. c. e.
