examination I found a rupture about five inches in length in 
the body of the uterus. After removing two blood clots, 
which clung to the border of the wound, the same was 
brought in opposition in the following manner : A curved 
needle threaded with carbolized catgut was introduced in 
each side of the rent and by dint of much patience and the 
consumption of about two hours’ time I was enabled to bring 
the lips together. The uterine cavity was irrigated every 
two hours by a two per cent, creolin solution for a period of 
twenty-four hours; later the injection was made only four 
times in a day. During the first eight days the animal had 
fever and anorexia; three weeks later the patient was put to 
work. — Thier. Wock . 
SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
NEW YORK STATE VETERINARY MEDICAL SOCIETY. 
The second annual meeting of the New York State Vet¬ 
erinary Medical Society was held in the assembly room of 
the Vanderbilt House, Syracuse, N. Y., on Tuesday, January 
12th, 1892. 
The meeting was called to order at 10 A.M. by the Presi¬ 
dent, Dr. C. D. Morris. The roll-call by the Secretary 
showed a very fair percentage of the members present; there 
were several members who came in later in the day, also 
members of the profession from different parts of the State 
who were not members of the Society. 
President Morris delivered his annual address as follows:

Gentlemen and Members of the Veterinary Profession: 
It is with pleasure that I meet you on this occasion, and especially am I grat¬ 
ified at seeing those gentlemen here who assisted so willingly and at the expense 
of no little energy, and who appropriated their influence and money for the es¬ 
tablishing of this Society, and who have stood by it faithfully to the present. It 
must be equally as gratifying to every member as it is to myself, that the prin¬ 
ciples of the Society are well founded, that the tenor of its words and acts are 
for the elevation of the profession and the uplifting of the individual member, 
and that the functions of the Society are in perfect harmony with the members, 
to the end that we so much desire, the union of our energies, interests and sym¬ 
pathy toward that perfect ideal to contribute to the diffusion of true science, and
