SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
335 
his Society tender their thanks to Dr. Roberts for his very 
Tie and interesting - address. Seconded and carried. 
Dr. Roberts.—I find in my travels through the New 
England States that 75 per cent, of the population are suffer¬ 
ing from consumption. These people would be glad to leave 
his part of the country for the west and south, but as they 
re a working class without money they are unable to do so. 
represent an aid society established for the purpose of 
ssisting these people and would be pleased to receive any 
offerings that might be made. 
Dr. McLean.—I think that in the office where Dr. Morris 
5 located they are able to stop the sale of cattle affected with 
•leuro-pneumonia, but cannot stop the sale of those affected 
nth tuberculosis. 
Dr. Morris.—That is so, but I think the Government will 
ike the matter in hancf. 
Dr. Robinson.—I found a case where the animal had 
uberculosis and the affected parts weighed twenty pounds 
r more. I gave it to the Health Commissioner of Buffalo, 
vho has it preserved. I am told that this class of meat is 
ooked and eaten by the Pollacks of Buffalo. 
Dr. McLean .—1 do not think there is as much danger in 
iseased meat as there is in milk from a diseased cow. 
Dr. Hinkley.—We are discussing diseased meat, which is 
lways cooked before use, thereby avoiding the danger to a 
ertain extent, while milk is generally used in its natural 
tate. I think the milk ought to be boiled at all times to 
estroy the bacilli as far as possible. 
Dr. Morris.—The medical men recommend the use of 
ondensed milk to avoid the dangers of bacilli. 
Dr. Wende.—The Secretary will please read the names 
f the applicants for membership who have been accepted by 
ne Board of Censors. All whose names have been given 
/ere accepted. 
Dr. Robinson.—I move we make the gentlemen members 
f our Society. Carried. 
Dr. Wende.—Any unfinished business? 
Dr. Morris.—No.
