On motion of Dr. Rauch, 



The code of Medical ethics of the American Medical Association 

 was adopted by the Society, and the old code expunged. 



Dr. McGuorin then introduced the following resolution. 



Resolved, That the thanks of this Society are due and hereby ten- 

 dered to the Medical Faculty of Fairfield for the courtesy shown the 

 various members who have met here, and for the kind provision made 

 for their comfort and convenience. 



The President then made the following closing remarks : 



You assigned me the honorable position of President of your So- 

 ciety for the first year of its existence ; that period is now at an 

 end, and my worthy and respected successor, Dr. D. L. McGugin, is 

 about to take my place. 



May your organization strengthen and improve with each succeed- 

 ing year, until no well educated and respectable physician can be 

 found within the borders of our State who is not a member of it. 



Let us adhere to our Society as worthy of affection, acting up to 

 its objects and ethics, and by so doing we shall make it an instrument 

 of good to our fellow men, and a means of advancing the dignity and 

 honor of the profession. 



In parting with you, it is with the cherished hope that a year hence 

 we may all meet again, with increased interest in each other, and in 

 promotion of the objects of our Society. 



On motion, 



The Society adjourned to meet again at Fairfield, on the first Wed- 

 nesday in June, 1852.* 



ENOS LOWE, President. 



E. D. Ransom, Secretary. 



* It will be perceived, that the time of the next meeting of th« 

 Society is postponed. I have been induced to make this change 

 after consultation with several members who have all concurred in the 

 propriety of avoiding a conflict in the time of meeting, with the Am- 

 erican Medical Association, which meets the first Tuesday in May 



D. L. McGUGIN, President.
