OF THE 



SECTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND KINDRED SCIENCES. 



Abstract of the work of the Section for the year 1917, 

 the third year of its existence. 



The work of this Section was very much curtailed this 

 year owing to the fact that the Honorary Secretary, Dr. 

 Guy Griffiths, left on active service in August, and no 

 member was immediately available to take up his duties. 



The following office-bearers were elected for 1917 : — 



Chairman — Dr. Cecil Purser. 



Hon. Secretary — Dr. Guy Griffiths. 



Recommendation Committee — Drs. J. B. Cleland and 

 C. Savill Willis, and Mr. Algernon Peake. 



During the year two meetings were held and papers 

 read, as follows : — 



12th June, 1917. 



44 The Disposal of the Dead by Cremation," by Dr. W. G. 

 Armstrong. (See "The Medical Journal of Australia," 

 Vol. II, No. 4, 1917, p. 70).
