Papers being m order, Dr. Leonard Pearson gave a very 
complete summary of the views of all the leading investiga¬

larly referring to the value of “ tuberculin ” as a diagnostic 
agent. He reported many favorable and interesting results 
in his own experience. 
Dr. Jas. A. Waugh being absent, he had sent his brother, 
Mr. D. Waugh, to demonstrate his method of castrating 
cryptorchids. In the absence of an animal to operate upon, 
he exhibited his double side line and his way of securing them 
for operating. His plan was to pass up behind the inguinal 
canal to the point where he found the testicle engaged in its 
passage to the scrotum, and cutting or breaking down upon 
it, removing it with the ecraseur. In answer to an inquiry, he 
said that in over one hundred cases operated upon, he had 
failed to find a single case where the testicle was intra-abdom¬ 
inal. 
Dr. J. F. Butterfield being absent, had forwarded his re¬ 
port on a case of intussusception. His report was read by 
Secretary Ridge.
