RESURRECTED.

The Gsrrard County Medical Society,
after remaining auiescent several years,
was resurrected and reorganized at the
kengarlan last Thursday night. The
meeting was interesting and harmonious
and was attended by Dr's Anon.

following officers were unanimously
elected. President. DR.. ]. M. Acton,
Vice Pres. DR.. ]. S. Gilbert, Sect'y
DR.. J. b. kinnaird. Dr's Anon.
Elliott and Kinnaird were appointed to
prepare schedule of fees to be sub
mitted at the next meeting, January
18th. 1t was the unanimous opinion
that the fees of the Doctors were not
commensurate with the high prices of
comodities. that the prices of the
necessatives Of life had advanced to
such an extent, that their earnings
were not sufficient to meet expenses
and that instead of prospecting all were
growing poorer. 1t was therefore de-
c'ded by unanimous vote to prepare a
Just and reasonable schedule of fees
which would not work a.hardship upon
the people and at the same time benefit
the profession.
A plan will be proposed at the next
meeting whereby dead beats" and i'm.
posters may be handled in such a way
as to make them remuneratise patients.
DIR. Cain, of Somerset. Councillor for
this district, will probably attend the
