Dr Archibald came forward with a most excellent speech on 
the subject of interest of the profession as shown by the mem¬ 
bers of the association. He showed very plainly that there had 
been a lack of interest taken in the welfare of the association 
and the profession in general. He also stated that unless there 
was more interest taken he did not care to belong to such an 
association. At this juncture every member present avowed 
that he was ready and willing to do anything in his power to 
advance the standing of the profession in the State. 
Dr. Archibald now withdrew his resignation, and was de¬ 
clared a member in good standing. 
Whereupon, the following resolutions were introduced by 
Dr. K. A. Archibald :
