An Ordinary Meeting of the Medical Section was held at the 

 Society's House, on Friday, October 21st, at 8*15 p.m. 



There was a small attendance of members due no doubt to the 

 stormy weather at that time. 



In the absence of the Chairman of the Section (Dr. G. E. Rennie) 

 it was proposed and carried that Dr. Walter Spencer be elected 

 to preside. 



Dr. Frederick Milford exhibited and explained the use of a 

 new form of " Interdental Splint," for use in cases of fracture of 

 the jaw. The subject was discussed by Drs. Fiaschi, Camac 

 Wilkinson, and Messieurs Lugg, (visitor) Reading, and Hodgson.
