ceived and acted upon, Dr. Burkholder read a very able and in¬ 
teresting paper on “ The Examination of Horses for Sound¬ 
ness,”* which was fully discussed by the author and Drs. Har- 
baugh, Faville, Roop and Niles. 
Drs. Faville and Niles reported cases of aphthous fever, 
which elicited a warm discussion. 
Dr. Faville also reported two cases of tetanus, in which the 
anti-toxin treatment was successful. 
The President, Dr. Faville, addressed the association, re¬ 
marking, in part, that the standing of the profession is ad¬ 
vancing, and that the people appreciate veterinary medicine now 
more than they formerly did. 
The association is in a flourishing condition, and has accom¬ 
plished more than any other similar body, although it is one of 
the youngest. The State Examining Board, the office of State 
Veterinarian, act of legislature relative to contagious diseases, 
are all the work of the association. The President also re¬ 
marked that the State Board of Health should have a veteri¬ 
narian as an active member, as also should the local boards. 
Various cities in the State have taken up the subject of tubercu¬ 
losis, and will doubtless take action in the matter in the near 
future. 
After a vote of thanks to Dr. Burkholder, the resident mem¬ 
ber, for courtesies shown, the association adjourned to meet in 
Richmond on Wednesday, June 23, 1897.
