"Dr. /. H. Lyons served as mayor
OF San Antonio from January, 1865,
to August, 1866. From that date until
October 0, 1865, San Antonio had no
mayor. On October 0, 1866, d. Cleve-
land was appointed mayor by Governor
Hamilton. the provisional governor of
Texas. DoctoreLyons was reinstated
mayor by an act of the legislature
August "a, 1866, and served to De-
cember 81. 1866. A charter election
was held January /, 1867, and Doctor
Lyons was elected mayor serving until
November ., 1867. Those were in the
turbulent days of reconstruction. Doc
tor Lyons handled the city affairs in
an admirable manner, and during those
heated days of hatred between the
North and South still ranking in the
bosoms of many and with free men
turned loose with equal privileges in
law, he- through sound common sense,
tact and humane sentiments, Doctor
Lyons so managed that there were few

located in Collins county, Texas, and
engaged regularly in the practice of
medicine until 1859. In 1851 he was

in 1858. In 1857 he was chosen to
the senate for a term or four years.

Proud Of New Medical Law.
"The present medical practice ac
which establishes a single high educa
tional standard for all whJ would en-
ter the field of the practice of medi
cine, regardless of school, is one o
the accomplishments of the State Med
! ical Association of which it is proud
Its pride is based largely on the fact
that the regular medical profession wa:
broad minded enough to seek basic
principles, and agree TO plan of con.
troll which provided for qualifications
on the fundamental facts of medicine
alone, theory of cause and treatment
of disease being disregarded entirely,
This law has been recently amended
so as to place in the hands of enforce
ment officers of the state means where
By it may be enforced"
The law establishing a board of
health was also fostered by the state
association, and the association is CO.
operating at the present time with
other agencies in an effort to remodel
this law so that it may be made more
effective.
Announcement shas been made of a
campaign of public instruction to be
launched by the state association
whereby the public will be informed
as to the true relationship of the med
ical profession to the public health, in
general and in particular. Lecturers
will be trained. AS the doctors are
rapidly learning to speak the tongue
of the laymen and the wealth of knowl-
edge accumulated by the medical pro-
fession is now being both understood
and appreciated, both the doctor and
the layman are rapidly approaching
that point in their relationship where
by preventive rather than curative
methods are stressed.
Not to be overlooked is the organiza-
ton Of wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters of the members of the State
Medical Association who form the
Women's Auxiliary. The auxiliary of
the state association meets in this
city at the same time that its parent
organization is in session. The idea
of uniting the members of physicians
families into an organization, original
ed in Texas and has spread over the
entire United States, practically every
medical society and association having
its own auxiliary. Mrs. :. {. Red OF

newed friendship between the North
and South" SD
The history of the association from
the first year of its existence until
1860, when it was recognized, is
rather hazy because no permanent rec
ord of the events pertaining TO the or
ganization during this period was
kept. In the archives of the associa-
ton, however, due to the enterprise
and initiative of DIR. Frank Paschal Of
San Antonio is a copy of the charter
granted by the state of Texas to the
association in 1858. The plan of or
ganization as set out in the original
charter is almost identical with that in
existence today, plan that is follow
ed by all state organizations making
up the American Medical Association.
Two Presidents Living.
At the. time of the reorganization in
1860 and the recharter in 1889, a off
ferent plan of control appeared TO have
been in effect, Notwithstanding the
fact that the association was supposed
TO have been operating under the char
ter of 1858. The possession of this
charter proves conclusively that the
Texas association is one of the oldest
as well as one. of the largest state as
sociations in the United States.
Two of the six presidents from San
Antonio, DIR. Frank Paschal, who was
the first president after the final re-
organization in 1903, and DR.. w. b.
Russ, who was president in 1911, are
living. The other presidents from San
Antonio are DIR. George Cupples, presi-
dent in 1858, and who was reelected
in 1878; DIR. r. NJ. Swearingen, who
was elected in 1899; DIR. George II.
Moody, who headed the organization
in 1915, and DIR. I. T. Jackson, who
held the office in 1919.
The State Medical Association from
the time of its inception in 1858 has
devoted itself to the development of
better physicians and the improve
ment of the health of the people, in
dividually and collectively. 1t has al

Prominent In Politics.
"Several of that noble band were
prominent, not alone in medicine and
surgery, but also in tie affairs of ma
ton and state, and in times of peace
and war. They were so prominent
that it is only justice to them that
their names be again recorded in his
tory for their greatness, their acts and
deeds. Among them is that of DIR.
George Cupples. He was the leader
and father of organized medicine in
Texas. He was ..ative of Scotland.
From 1896 to 1898 he was staff as
sistant surgeon in the Spanish service
in the British Auxiliary Legion. In
August, 1888. he graduated from the
University of Edinburgh. Scotland,
studying also in the hospitals of Lon
don on specialties. After graduating
he studied in the University of Paris.

comforts in his camps; that he never
had employed Japs; that he favors a
short work day; that he has been f.
lancially interested in farming ever

he learned every detail of farm work,
