The final joint meeting of Saturday afternoon 

 proved to be of unusual interest, especially as re- 

 gards a group of papers on the subject of polio- 

 myelitis, or infantile paralysis. This discussion 

 brought out the largest attendance of the entire 

 scientific series of meetings. 



The annual session adjourned vpith very kindly 

 feelings of the membership for the local com- 

 mittee and the staff of the Cornell Medical College 

 for the convenient and genial arrangements pro- 

 viding for the physical comforts of the session.
