By a suspension of the rules, the old board of officers 
r ere authorized to conduct the business of the meeting until 
ie time of adjournment, when the new board should enter 
pon the performance of their official duties. 
This change in one of the old customs of the Association 
ecame necessary in consequence of the amount and the im- 
ortance of the work undertaken and accomplished by the 
leeting. 
While these might be considered subjects of exceptional 
iterest at this meeting, it must not be supposed that we in- 
md to consider as of secondary importance the courteous 
nd friendly hospitality offered by the Massachusetts State 
"eterinary Medical Association, including an excursion in 
Boston harbor, its dinner, and its theatrical party. Nor do 
7 e desire to ignore the graver incidents of the last day, when 
le Association was treated by Drs. Salmon, Winchester, 
Williams, Kilbourne, Gadsden and Johnson to a series of most 
aluable and interesting papers. Neither have we forgotten 
ie splendors of the banquet at Young’s—but as we have said 
-time presses upon us, and desirous always to be faithful to 
ur engagements, we must for the present suspend our re¬ 
marks, to be resumed at a future day.

In presenting this subject to you, I do not want to con¬ 
ey the idea that it is a new subject, or of recent origin. I 
imply desire that it may renew its youth, and to establish 
be fact that this condition does exist in localities other than 
n the continent. Judging from the literature in English on 
lis subject, it has certainly been overlooked, for, with a few 
xceptions, only cases are reported that are interesting on 
ccount of their grossness.
