The report Yvas received and referred to the Board of 
Directors. 
Reading of papers and discussions being now in order, Dr. 
H. A. Spencer came forward with a most excellent and well 
prepared paper on “Reports of Cases.”* The first portion of 
the paper was devoted to a few cases, which the essayist termed 
“ Pneumo-Hepatitis.” The cases were described in detail and 
were very interesting to all present. The next case which the 
essayist described was a case of embolism of the femoral artery, 
and the last was a case of epilepsy in a bitch. The paper brought 
-out a long, spirited and interesting discussion, in which nearly 
all of the members present took an active part. 
The next essayist called upon was Dr. C. R. Megowan, of 
Sacramento, who came forward with a most excellently prepared 
paper on the subject of “ Professional Ethics.”* He brought 
out a great many points which should be remembered in every¬ 
day practice. 
The members paid high compliments to the doctor for the 
manner in which he had entertained them. 
Mr. Green, Chairman of the Regislative Committee of the 
Dairymen’s Association of California, was now shown in and the 
subject matter of legislation was again taken up. He sub¬ 
mitted a bill for consideration which had been under considera¬ 
tion by the Dairymen’s Association. The bill was read and con¬ 
sidered by sections. After a great many suggestions had been 
offered and a few changes made, the bill was finally left for the 
Dairymen’s Committee and Dr. Archibald, of the Association, to 
complete. 
The report of the Committee on Legislation was then re¬ 
ceived and the committee discharged. 
Dr. Fox moved that the thanks of the association be ex¬ 
tended to Drs. Spencer and Megowan for the most able manner 
* Will he published in March Review.
