PROF. LIONEL S. BEALE, F.R.C.P., F.R.S., ON VITALITY. 73 
the Council whether something of the kind might be carried 
out. 
I have ventured to put some of my conclusions on slips of 
paper like these, and I think you will find that I am not likely to 
advocate anything that may be against the principles of the 
Victoria Institute. If so, I hope whoever may be in the chair 
will call me to account, and then I will give way. 
The Cuairman.—I can only say that as faras my vote is wanted 
in favour of such discussions it will most certainly be given. It 
is the discussion of these points that is the great desideratum. 
I entirely concur with what Professor Beale said about words. 
Ambiguity causes great difficulty, and it is very important that 
words should have their definite meanings so that we may know 
how to fit them in. 
The meeting then terminated.
