JOURNAL AND PROCEEDINGS. 15 
by a boy who was brought in, having fallen and injured his 
elbow joint. A photograph was taken, and the bone was 
found to be fractured near the elbow. 
In answer to a question as to the use of the rays in 
strictly medical work, the doctor stated that consumption can 
be seen in the chest long before it can be detected by the 
ordinary symptoms. Pleurisy and pneumonia can also be 
detected. The size and condition of the heart can be accu- 
rately estimated, etc. 
At the close of the lecture the members adjourned to the 
parlors, where they were entertained by the Misses Cummings, 
while the doctor attended to the boy’s injured limb. 
A hearty vote of thanks, moved by A. Alexander, and 
seconded by S. C. Briggs, was then passed to Dr. Cummings 
for the rare treat he had given the Association, and to the 
Misses Cummings for their hospitality.
